Re: [IAC++] RULES for the IAC mailing list

Dear Sarbajit,

Would you kindly answer the following questions on IAC:

1. Is IAC a registered body? If yes, please share the details. If not what's it?

2. Is there an article or constitution? What are its objectives?

3. Is there a membership? How many members are there? Who are the members? How can citizens become members?

3. Is there a governing body or committee administering IAC as per constitution or is it run by one person?

4. Is IAC a democratic organization?  Are there provisions for elections to the governing body?

5. What are the objectives of IAC. How would it support its members. How do members participate in the activities of IAC?

6. Is it a transparent and accountable entity? What are its governing rules, finances, etc.

7. Please add any other relevant details not included here, but of general interest to members.

8. Is there a IAC manifesto as stated. My apologies if I missed the document. Please attach.

9. You have stated: "6) IAC is a patriotic movement of ancient lineage and revolutionary spirit. Members are requested to familiarise themselves thoroughly with the morals of the parent Hindustan Republican Association which secured for India independence from foreign rule in a non-sectarian and non-communal revolutionary manner.  Membership in the IAC casts upon all Indians a primary Constitutional duty to defend the sovereignty, unity and integrity of the nation and its people by all means, including violence if necessary."

Question: What is the need for any revolutionary spirit which may have been relevant for obtaining freedom. Is it relevant today. How can you say "including violence if necessary". Is it not against the law? How can anyone subscribe to violence in a democracy? Please clarify.

10. How are you claiming HRA as the parent organization?

Best,

Kris Dev
