Cabling India: WikiLeaks and the Information Wars

Information sharing, of any kind, in spite of the necessity, the ethics and the danger of it, makes it unrestricted and may be even unauthenticated, but rarely so. Information dispersion becomes entwined with the idea of a cultural process, and makes for a phenomenon that treats the study of information sharing, or expounding of the ‘truth’ a delightful text to be read, reread and even unread. It at once becomes a cultural as well as a technological phenomenon. The popular understanding of technology preceding the culture daunts on the face of this write‐up. The culture of leaks inspires technology to rise up to it, and the protocols of controls add to the pivotal role of a technology‐efficient world that looks up to the dynamic character of ‘culture’ for constant renewals.
