Re: [HumJanenge]

Dear Navin,

Your points well taken. Sec 4.1.(a) is as important as 4.1. (b) of RTI Act 2005, as it talks of integrating the communication throughout the country for access from anywhere through any system for transparency and accountability. If sufficient funds are allocated and implemented, this can transform governance in India.

What do you others think of this? I shall raise this point in my forthcoming debate - Battle of Ideas 2010 - "A technological Democracy?"

Best,

Kris Dev

What a farce these intelligence agencies are capable of creating can be anybody's guess.
If I talk to A and A talks to B and  B to C and so on till Z who may be linked to a terrorist the entire chain from A to Y is also linked.
I can assure you without seeing the list that in the end this will be the actual finding.
In this country everything is a sham--- from lawmakers  to the laws they make. RTI act is also going to prove such a law with which people on both giving and receiving ends will play for a few decades and neither we will receive anything substantial nor anybody has any intention of bringing any transparency and ultimately the gainers will be
1- The  Information commissioners 2- The whole lot of people getting direct and indirect jobs in the commissions
3- some cunning people in the garb of activists who may get some crumbs from the officials caught on the wrong foot.
4- And Last but never the least- lawyers of this country who gain in every situation and skin everybody whether it is a case of murder or divorce.

The intention of all the governments is amply clear for those who see things as they are and not live in fool's paradise- if after 5 years of enactment no serious and genuine effort has been made towards suo moto declarations under section 4-1(b),it is enough to convey the real intent of enactment of RTI act. It is another smart move to release pressure by opening a tiny hole and making people hope against hope that this country will change.

With apologies to all  RTI activists-
Great and small,
