Does Bloggers hold any responsibility? Are they just mere writers in the cyberspace who cannot make a change? What ever they blog about does it just confine to the reader as a ‘good post’?

Hell NO!!!

Bloggers in India have decided to make a change. They are uniting for the event Blogathon India 2008 which is going live on April 20-26. Quoting straight off their home page :

Like the name suggests, Blogathon India is an event where these bloggers can get together and raise their concerns, ideas and suggestions on different social issues through the medium we all love: blogs.

Blogathon India is a creation from the desire to:

• Instill a mass awakening amongst citizens and bloggers alike towards issues of social importance that affect our day to day lives.
• Building an interesting and close-knit community of bloggers to learn, share and socialize with a larger purpose.
• Motivate NGOs and other experts to embrace the net and start blogging with their invaluable ideas.
• To provide a platform for thought leadership for ideas to emerge, to get discussed, improved and implemented.
• Introduce citizens to blogging and help them to adopt Blogging platforms and tools to express their views.
• Encourage people to blog in regional languages including Hindi, Urdu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Bengali among others.
