Friends, A few months after Prabhat gave us that simple news clip about A Fadia, and after the long round of nationwide discussions that we had, it seems that we are trying to communicate with someone who (a) doesn't listen and (b) is not interested to listen.
Reliance Web World attempted to launch Ankit Fadia through some back door activities at Thrissur, but it flopped. In his regular and customary style, Ankit arrived late, cut short questions/answers session (he usually does it everywhere) and this time around he even cut short his talk to just 10 minutes. The ill-informed Reliance Web World executive was seen accusing the organisers for the drop in attendance - they never could realise that students are wiser than Fadia and could had deliberately chosen to abstain from such gimmicks.
Fadia shows undue haste in theorising with what would otherwise be pure exceptions - which is a bad academic practise - an action that portrays his Stanford University (where Google was born in 1996) in a bad light. He also relies heavily on the weaknesses of proprietary systems, which, by default, do not have any Road Map to the various freedoms enlisted by Free Software.
