Absolutely awesome. Hope that does not take away the fact that the government still indulges in non democratic practices and is radical :) On Fri, 21 Feb 2020 at 02:16, Luca Belli <luca.belli(a)fgv.br> wrote: -- Osama Manzar Founder & Director Digital Empowerment Foundation www.defindia.org @osamamanzar @defindia +91-9810042862 Columnist @livemint: https://goo.gl/VkJF8N Member/Advisory/Board: DEF; APC; A4AI; WSA; MILEN; Down To Earth; Barefoot College; Internet Society; Ibtada; Society for Labour & Development; OurDemocracy.in; Swaraj University; Multiversity Alliance; Sahapedia; Protsahan Sanstha; @apc_news @a4a_internet @wsaOffice @internetsociety @milenNetwork
