I’ve been asking myself this question with increasing frequency. In the absence of compelling people like fuzair,SameerJB,SR and countless others, it is only a matter of time.
A webiste that has Veeresh(lack of chemist shops in Rawalpindi fame) and urstruly as some of the more prolific contributors and that shows an increasing number of "middle-class" Indians with their oh so predictable cut and paste routines doesn’t augur too well for the future.
The Pakistani shortcomings are well known but for all the pride inherent in a so-called democratic India its "middle class" denizens show a remarkable lack of civility and accomodation in their interacts. Looking at these interacts in terms of a winner take all attitude leaves us with the worst possible outcome....a playing field left for the extremists exemplified by the likes of echoboom and arjun_m. While there may be some satisfaction on part of the moderates with the retarded fringes from both sides at each other’s throats, it does not leave any room for stimulating and positive debate.
Chowk’s ultimate demise will not be such a calamity however future attempts at building communities may require more of a country club attitude to keep the riff-raff...eh "middle-class" out.
