2. There is no intent within Govt in Power to grassroots address / use mechanisms effectively to minimize Peoples Burden nor is there a will likewise in the Opposition Parties to Unite for this Problem.
3. Finding the limbo / adrift situation, known Activists formed, India Against Corruption, which again looks like a Coterie group. Well known Swami Ramdev ji, jumped in & out of the fray for his own Political ambitions & is now hankering for space – will come by, having gone to his retreat & now consoling Rajbala after a 3 week gap.
4. Civil Resistance to wrongs is best done as Respected Gandhi ji taught us with a:
Soul Force
Truth Force
as a Regime which wedded Capitalism & a Market Economy, now in its UPA II, ‘avtar’ cannot be self correcting. Inequality in India has reached a repulsively ugly level.
5. All Civil Resistance either non violent or violent – the 2 methods overlap – intermingle; to achieve success need Far Greater cohesive well stratified Youth & GenNext backing, across India, which needs Focused attention right now for gaining grounds in the Jan Lokpal Movement. Now in its 12th week.
Parliamentarians (30% known Convicted Criminals in them) resisting & People know that the Bill to be Law, it must pass through the Lok & Rajya Sabha wherein the Whip will be used. Non in Power or waiting want Corrupt practices Exposed & distance Punishment.
6. In South Africa in 1984 against Apartheid – Prague in 1989 – Tehran, Philippines, Chile, East Germany, Burma, more recently in Tunisia, Egypt – right now in Syria, Yemen, Bahrain chronicler record ways of resisting & there are said to be 198 methods.
7. In our assessment there has set in: Fast Fatigue & priority requirement right now is a RETHINK, there should be a far greater Formidable force United which must have co-opted parsons in Groups looking after:
– Clean Funds for the Movement
– Taking care of participants Security & well being
– Updated & abreast with critical issues such as:
ICT & eGovernance
Facts & figures on Criminalized Politicians + Bureaucrats
Food prices / Inflation / under nourishment & hunger
The slow down in the Economy – Deficit Financing
Effects of Black Money
Electoral Reforms
Water
Electricity
Roads
Corruption living examples & facts
Networking & Media outreach
Police Reforms
Nuclear Option
Environment & Forests
Livelihood & Jobs
