Sabke sab hamare bande hain

 Its always expected that an organization works in unison, a great sense of co-ordination exists between various stakeholders. This is possible only where there is a clear layout of goals, principles, rules and regulations laid out describing the role of each and every performer.


In a private organization, leaders practice we command you follow policy. Yes, they do listen subordinates but they listen when they are convinced that listening adds their profit performance. At the brink of the moment they can relieve subordinate from existing responsibility to a new domain. Subordinate is expected to pickup from where he has dropped. In short a thought exists in the leadership that every component can be defined as per their convenience exclusively. Leaders share this exclusiveness with their manager who are entrusted with powers to regulate, hire and fire their subordinates.

But when it comes to government organization, its effective operation and strength lies in amount of liberty to perform bestowed upon the different departments delivering their own distinct service. Each section is respected for its independent observation and functioning. Government miserably fails when it began to thinks on lines of private organization and resorts to convert the pillars into a mere propagandist script parroting in order to put forth a rosy picture.

The performance indicator of private entity is all about profits and business expansion strategy. Social service is an optional part for them. When it comes to government organization they have huge responsibility of guaranteeing the welfare of the people who are within their ambit in all the spheres.

Thou shalt be regulated

Do you know, according to wikipedia there are around 26 regulatory bodies in India catering to different segments right from film certification to banking sector. Ultimate aim of regulations is about ensuring fair play among the service providers so that interest of the subscribers is protected from deceptions of errant players.

Utmost, common man is exposed to traffic regulators who help is flow of vehicular moments. These regulations or regulatory authorities are governed by the democratic principles and policies of the government and apply to concerned group without any bias w.r.t. religious or political affinity. These are normal behavior of  regulatory authority.

Now let us understand how this concept of regulations which was initially conceived for systematizing a disorderly entity has slowly been developed into tool for ensuring that governing authority exercises a kind of control over the subjects. Latestly there has been hue and cry by certain sections of society that social media sites are unregulated and therefore posts which doesn't comply with the authority of ruling government appear from various account holders.

Every social media sites have their own regulations under which user is constrained to act upon to maintain healthy atmosphere. Now the government wishes to add an extra layer of regulations so that the sovereignty of the country is safeguarded from attackers.

Difference between social media site regulating your post and a government regulating your post is that social media site regulate you for the maintaining a basic human decorum such as barring you from posting pornographic content or the content that has fake information and so on. But when government pokes its nose they can influence your opinion about the functioning of the government. In short your opinion is either monitored or regulated or both.
