Although India has not been able to capitalize well in this explosive growth of social media, many countries have witnessed an uprising due to the contribution made by these sites.
Tunisia revolution was one such uprising boasted by these sites. The role of social media in the protest movements in the Middle East to bring down the dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has been very substantial. Given the role played by Twitter and Facebook in the rolling series of protests that have overturned a regime it is a commendable sign in the world of social media. Tunisia is often called twitter revolution because of the extensive awareness spread through twitter.
