[Fsf-friends] Brand Ambassador of Microsoft Inc

[doxa at sancharnet.in]

Friends,
The sudden discovery of an ambassador in Minister Dayanidhi Maran by Microsoft Inc is not surprising in the wake of the much touted training of teachers in Tamil Nadu (a project whose sibling met with an untimely death in Kerala, thanks to efforts of a few volunteer activists). But what is surprising is to see the Minister shamelessly sitting atop foolish advertisements of the corporate telling us *what ought to be the right way to address digital divide*. Perhaps it would do a world of good if someone from Tamilnadu retold the story of Don Quixote to the Minister (in its 400th year of celebrations).
