The Nawabi city of Bhopal witnessed two days of social media conclave, 'Media Chaupal' which concluded on 15 September 2013. Madhya Pradesh will be going to polls shortly and will be hub of media activity in the backdrop of towering rise of collegue from Gujrat and possible bastion of BJP under Shivraj. This bastion has now been taken head on by the person not less then stature of Jyotriaaditya Scindhia, youthful scintillation associated with this young leader may be the best bet by his party in its effort to dislodge Shivraj Government.
The social media is also keeping a watch on these events they are discussing and started debates on the electoral outcomes. After taking charge of MP Congress election commit he insisted that by birth one cant be labeled as feudal. Social media changed the whole discourse with intervention that one cant be labeled as feudal by virtue of birth but then if one carrying legacy of feudalism ie feudal wealth, estates and Palaces it becomes imperative to conclude the same. This was one example to suggest the rise of Social media in socio-politico sphere.
In this backdrop the complex issues of media, politics, calamity relief , delivery, internet and science were discussed with a focus on social media and science. Internet has now grown out of proportion and it had diversified the platform from data base to social interactive media to entertainment arena. The interaction on internet is now impossible to control given the number of transactions and the heterogeniety of internet users originating from different parts of the world. The social media also gets its organisation from this difficult mix this leads to another important point whether it is adequately organised or not and how credible it is with its content.
