As there is so much misinformation, let me clarify exactly although it
deeply pains me to remember past evernts
1) Our mentor and Masterji late Prakash Kardaley founded HumJanenge
yahoogroup in 2004 after some (minor) disagreements with Mahararshtra
RTI Adhikaar. Whereas Mahadhikar was (and still is) a Maharashtra RTI
group, H-J was intended as a national group for the Central RTI Act
2005. For a long period H-J was a Maharashtra-centric group, and with
the enactment of the NRTI 2005 the Maharashtrians attempted to
dominate all RTI discussions based on their experience with MRTIA.
2) Sometime in 2004, Masterji came in contact with me. I clarify that
he approached me for some assistance concerning RTI and not the other
way around. I was made co-owner of H-J in 2005. I am as equal an owner
of HJ-YG as Masterji was. From 2007 onwards Masterji was very unhappy
with a few RTI publicity hounds like Arvind Kejriwal and Shailesh
Gandhi who were being promoted by Arunaji and Shekharji. They made
tall promises to him which were never fulfilled and on 2 occasions
they disrespected him publicly, including at the 2007 Pune National
RTI Conference. Yet Masterji never allowed this fact to be known
generally.
3 Masterji always believed in youth of India. He made 6 youngsters
moderators of HumJanenge. 2 of them (Vishal and Anuradha) stabbed him
in the back by switching loyalties to.Arunaji They have done their
best to ensure that HJ is only a publicity blog. They have stifled all
free discussion at HJ. They have moderated to ensure that 75% of all
post made to H-J are rejected. This dynamic duo ensure that hardly any
fresh members are allowed into the group unless personally approved by
Arunaji's group of chamchas.
4) The final insult to all Masterji's chelas came when his iconic
photo (Masterji with Annaji) was removed from HJ webpage and replaced
with one of Arvind and Rahul, and text alterred making out that HJ's
existence is due to Rahul and Arvind and all the grief is only for
these 2.
5) It is height of hypocrisy for Vishal to say that he does not know
who I am. As a moderator of HJ-YG he knows exactly who I am and what I
can do to HJ-YG if I so choose.. Vishal also knows the sacrifices I
have made for RTI and H-J so that the public decencies and outward
appearances could be preserved for outsiders not to exploit the
politics within RTI family
