Summary / Abstract (Note) | There has been a glut of social media activism vis-à-vis the floods in Assam. But the ardour of online activism can have disastrous consequences because issues taken up on social media are transient. There was a lot of anger and bitterness that the “national” media failed to give due coverage to the Assam floods. This is a perpetual grouse and it is as predictable as the monsoons.
