As many as 50,000 WhatsApp groups, a website, a Facebook page, Twitter handles and mobile apps all with the name of Maratha Kranti Morcha run by around 1,000 youngsters are driving the huge silent protest marches by the Maratha community, which haven taken over the political and social landscape of Maharashtra in the past month-and-a-half.
Insiders told that the movement, which initially started with the help of just circulation of messages on Whatsapp has turned into a full-fledged social-media driven exercise that now also includes the use of drone cameras to broadcast a live feed of rallies.
