Ideas are dangerous. They are dangerous because they are harbingers of change which structurally alters society. Those who have a vested interest in the status quo therefore resist new ideas which would dethrone them from their privileged positions that depend on inferior ideas. It is natural for them to prohibit the emergence of ideas however good the ideas may be to general welfare.
Atanu pens a classic essay on why ideas matter. Malls and cell phones aside, absolute freedom of expression is really what India needs to progress.
