Mumbai: After the
'Occupy Wall Street' campaign in New York, some Indians have
started a move on social networking sites to 'Occupy Dalal Street'
where the country's premier bourse, the Bombay Stock Exchange, is
located.
Among other things, the 'Occupy Dalal Street' campaign wants to
fight "greedy capitalism" and "greedy corporates", the media and
even India Against Corruption (IAC), which supports
anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare.
The move has started in a small way on social networking sites
like Facebook and Twitter.
A Facebook page titled "Occupy Dalal Street Movement" was created
recently.
The administrator of the page posted: "Friend, let us fight
against greedy capitalism. Any extremism is ruinous whether
extreme capitalism or socialism."
"Everything is captured and controlled by greedy corporates, be it
government, media or even IAC. So let us unite against this greedy
corporate culture which is represented by Dalal Street in India
like Wall Street in USA," he added.
To this, another Facebook user commented: "The other Occupy Mumbai
is better. We should direct anger at the government, not the
corporates."
Author and great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi
tweeted: "It's time that the Indian poor launch an 'Occupy Dalal
Street' and gherao FM & Planning Commission Satyagraha."
User JagPaw responded: "We are waiting for a messiah called Lokpal
coming to save us from sin."
