diaspora
Diaspora is an open-source, privacy-focused social networking platform that allows users to host their own personal web server, called a "seed", to store and control access to their data. It aims to decentralize social networking by allowing users to communicate across independently hosted seeds through encryption. The developers are raising funds on Kickstarter to work full-time for three months on further developing the prototype, which currently allows communication between seeds using Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, and GPG encryption. Their goals include improving usability and the plugin architecture to integrate with existing services.

Communalism final ppt
Communalism refers to attempts to promote religious stereotypes and violence between religious groups for political or economic gain. It has existed in India since the 1920s during the emergence of mass politics and independence, and persists due to India's pluralistic society with conflicting social, economic, and political interests between communities. Communal riots are rarely spontaneous but rather engineered by opportunistic factions. The effects of communalism are disastrous and include communal riots and violence, as well as negative international reactions that harm India's relations. To prevent a civil war-like scenario, concerted economic, political, and socio-cultural programs are needed.
