Re: [IAC++] [HumJanenge] Plan to Prevent Corruption & other Democratic Evils

Dear Nandhu

Please be assured that everything you write is being registered.
We acknowledge that our probability of success is not very high.
Nonetheless the effort must be made.

The history is clear, a group of pirates (Team.Arvind) captured,
hijacked and boarded the "Aam Aadmi" ghost ship of the Congress
Party. Another much smaller group of RTI pirates boarded and
took over the sailing of the abandoned "India Against Corruption" ship
(which would otherwise have sunk without a trace). We are
under-crewed and vastly under-resourced as compared to the previous
lot. We can keep the ship afloat (and get it fighting fit) if we get
people matching our way of thinking. We are prepared to take
on board anyone who shows proven PRACTICAL corruption fighting /
management skills.

What we do have among our (IAC) core group is experience in getting
Govts to work the way it should. This is something that IAC (previous)
has never done and neither have any of their leaders.

WE are very clear that we are here only to empower individuals to
fight their own battles, and to provide a platform (with limited
support tools) to them if they choose to use it. WE don't own this
group or the IAC movement and neither do we wish to. Our entire focus
is to massively multiply the number of QUALIFIED EDUCATED INDIVIDUALS
who are capable of engaging with Govt successfully. Unfortunately this
involves de-programming them from what they were taught earlier.

Our methods are very different to the previous IAC's and very
counter-intuiitve. For instance,

1) WE do not seek or crave publicity. Media publicity is actually
counter-productive for our methods.

2) WE don't publicise our successes. We let the Govt take credit for it.

3) WE view the judiciary (and the associated legal system) as the
biggest enabler of corruption in the country today. Everything else
pales in comparison.

Warmly

Sarbajit
