Dear Tuhin Kumar,

So far we have 28,342 signatures on the petition asking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to place public interest before foreign profits. The protests against the nuclear plant in Maharastra's Ratnagiri district have also grown.

The government is getting untested nuclear technology in the area from the French nuclear corporation Areva. The corporation has a history of nuclear contamination. In spite of this our government is taking their nuclear reactors which have been rejected by the US and many European countries.

The PM needs to know that people across state boundaries oppose this dangerous nuclear power plant. More signatures on this petition will help show the strength of this opposition.

Can you forward the mail below to your friends and family, asking them to sign the petition?

Thanks a billion!

Click here to tell Manmohan Singh to place people's life before profit

Dear friend,

While the French President Nicolas Sarkozy enjoyed tourist attractions in India, people in Maharastra's Ratnagiri district were protesting against the French nuclear reactor proposed in their village. Instead of listening to their demands the government has now signed a nuclear deal with France. [1]

The government is going to import untested nuclear reactors from the French nuclear corporation Areva.[2] Areva has a dirty track record of nuclear contamination in the countries where their plants were functional like the La Hague facility in Europe.[3] Moreover, the location for this reactor is on a high earthquake zone which has been ignored by the environmental impact assessment. This raises concerns about the safety of people around the plant.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh needs to place public safety before foreign profit.The people of
Ratnagiri district and over 28,000 people from the country are not supporting the government's plan. More and more people raising their voice against this plant will make it difficult for the PM to ignore this opposition.

Can you also sign this petition to the Prime Minister, asking him to safeguard people's interest first?

http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/What-We-Do/Nuclear-Unsafe/ask-manmohan-singh-to-stop-untested-nuclear-reactors/

The petition says: Put Indian lives above foreign profits -- Stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors to Maharashtra.

A large number of signatures on the petition will show that the opposition is national and not confined to the Ratnagiri district. This will help convince the PM to put national interest before profits.

This project is being talked of as one that will hugely improve the energy situation in India, but the truth is that the 1650 MW from this plant will happen only nine years down the line at the quickest! Renewable energy and energy efficiency could replace the same in a year!

The site for the nuclear power plant is an earthquake prone zone which magnifies the harm an accident can do here. A nuclear accident here will affect the entire district and nearby cities like Mumbai The PM needs to consider the cost of people's life before foreign profits.

Sign the petition now to help make the PM act.

Today 26/ 11 is the day when few handful of terrorists spread terror across the country,especially Mumbai. Hope such attack never happens again in India. Let us give thought to those who fought bravely against terrorism . Lets pay homage to those who died on this black day. Also let us vow to stay united as Indians.
Let us all we move from the state of APATHY to SYMPATHY and finally graduate to EMPATHY. Every Indian's pleasures and sorrows become our pleasures and sorrows, when anyone of us is humiliated we feel ourselves humiliated, their aspirations become our aspirations and their failures our failures What we really require is the refinement of our basic sensitivity and expansion of our self which is normally limited to our near and dear ones. With this expansions we begin to identify ourselves with Nature in all its manifestations, humanity at large. Then and only then the mother earth will be at Peace and worth living for all of us. You may call this feeling Empathy or with some other name. But this state of Mind or Soul is something more than the word "Empathy" or its equivalents connote. If all of us fellow Indians decide to come together on a common platform for once leaving our religion, political affiliations, language, state, caste etc. at home, and with a common cause of creating a strong platform to empower citizens, we really can have INDIA of our dreams. Before we Indians start demanding what government can do for us, we should start thinking what we can do for our country. And so many INDIANS came together last year to form this non political citizen's empowerment movement, "INDIA Redefined" . Great to have you all as supporters of this movement, the present and future members of IR ,who care deeply for India! Whose love for India is beyond measurement!

We all want to move India forward! We all want an India which we can really be proud of! Let us not wait for a miracle to happen! Lets not do day dreaming! As we know to change India, we have to step up! We have already realized that we need a movement! A grass roots movement! A social movement which is more about awareness, responsibility and ownership by all of us.There are many pressing social issues which need to be addressed! Many Indians have already done wonderful jobs in addressing many issues! But that it is still not enough! We have to work with every Indian to make an impact!

Don't leave governance to people who are not really our representatives,policies to people who do not feel they are accountable to us and please don't leave all the other problems like slums, environment etc to NGOs who struggle without Citizen's support.INDIA Redefined

================

We have left governance to people who are not really our representative, policy to people who do not feel they are accountable to us, and we have left all the other problems like slums, environment etc to NGOs who struggle without Citizen's support – the list can go on and on…

We all talk of various problems in India at home, on facebook walls ,in our drawing rooms, offices, linkedin, etc.– but do little. Part of the reason is that we think that solving these are responsibility of the government, politicians, bureaucracy, economists or NGO's - Anyone but us.

We are very fond of talking of our RIGHTS but shy away from even talking about our responsibilities as a citizen of the country. Many of us do not even bother to vote and then criticize the people who are elected on vote bank politics.This INERTIA is the root cause of many of our problems and we are partly to be blamed.

So came the idea of INDIA REDEFINED ( www.indiaredefined-a4c.org) – A movement to create responsible and empowered citizens by bringing about "Behavioral Change".

It is only when we do our duties we shall be empowered to demand our rights. It is by this change in behavior that we can unlock people's potential to be empowered citizens. This will redefine how we think and act as an Indian. …..and that is what INDIA Redefined is about.

So, what is the Vision of INDIA Redefined? It is simply – CREATING A HAPPY INDIA.

And how can we create a Happy India?
Most of the ordinary people want to do something for the country, they just don't know how.

The idea is to mobilize these masses and bring them together.

How does INDIA Redefined do it? By giving a structure to this 'Desire to do Something'. By creating an opportunity for them, to achieve small successes in doing something for the society… Something within his resources and available time – a simple successful activity, that would not only be beneficial at a larger scale but also provide the motivation to strive for bigger changes.

Developing this behavioral change across Indians of all strata, INDIA Redefined plans to tackle problems, leveraging the power of individual.

It is a citizen's empowerment movement - a platform for ordinary citizens by ordinary citizens – each fulfilling his own ISR - Individual Social Responsibility.

What makes this movement unique or even different? Well, there are many wonderful organizations, NGO, Charities which do a lot of wonderful work - But it never seems to be enough. Most of them work within a context or for a specific cause, that the overall positive effect ….. is lost in the gaps.

One of the biggest reasons is that we have not tapped efficiently into the potential of the individual. INDIA Redefined is a platform for people from different, different social class, having different outlooks and opinions to come together and work towards redefining India.

That is why INDIA Redefined's vision is created by an amalgamation of different visions that ultimately leads to a HAPPY INDIA.

It is important to understand that we are not affiliated with a single political party or motive. But do not hesitate to work with any and every political party, business houses or NGO for the right cause.

By bringing drops of people together on a common platform INDIA Redefined creates an ocean – Ocean strong enough to make government, politicians, public servants not only accountable but also make each Indian an Awakened Citizen…

So where is INDIA Redefined today?

In one year time the membership has already reached more than a lakh. This shows that there are people out there who want to 'do something'…Make a difference. All they need is the platform.

The idea has not only got support of people but also some– it was adjudged "The Best Humanitarian Initiative" in December 2009

In this long journey of redefining India, we have taken only a few baby steps But then again, a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step…

This idea…. Idea of a movement that is trying to tackle most, if not all, social issues and help citizens become empowered by the means of behavioral change, asks you for only one thing – DONATION. Not of MONEY. But of TIME.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a citizen of India, we ask you -

Do you want to make India better?

Are you fed up of table-talks with no action?

Are you willing to do your bit for the country?

Are you confused how to do this?

If your answer to any of these is YES, then join

India Redefined

India Redefined (www.indiaredefined-a4c.org) is a non-political Citizen's Empowerment movement. The movement got an award as 'The Best Humanitarian Initiative 2009'. The movement was started to light up the fire in the hearts of very Indian citizen, to be awakened, to exercise their rights and fulfill their obligation & responsibilities. This movement is for those Indians want to change the country into something which they will be proud to hand over to their children tomorrow. Citizen rights have been provided at the cost of some duties and obligations – these could be constitutional, social, civic or societal duties, that must be and should be performed by every citizen of India. Then only we can demand our rights.

India Redefined draws its inspiration from Gandhian Movement which was a revolution focused on independence. It was also about specific actions like non- cooperation by citizens. We are just trying to apply many Gandhiji's principles' in this era, in this society and during these times. Maybe in a different flavor! Maybe the context is different! Maybe it's a different world! But the goal is same! He also wanted India a better place to live in.

If all of us fellow Indians decide to come together on a common platform like India Redefined, for once leaving our religion, political affiliations, language, state, caste etc. at home, and with a common cause of creating India Redefined as the strongest platform to empower citizens, we really can have INDIA of our dreams. It is a social movement which is more about awareness, responsibility and ownership by all of us. Before we Indians start demanding what government can do for us, we should start thinking what we can do for our country.

Political Parties ask for Votes from common people, India Redefined is asking for only Support, because it is citizen's movement and not a political party. Political parties claim to work for 100 crore people, but if 100 crore people work for Redefining India – what can stop it from becoming the most powerful country. Put all your goodness on one platform - India Redefined, become the strongest citizen group & make public officials accountable by ensuring better governance, infrastructure and killing the corruption. India Redefined aims to help you fulfill your ISR - Individual Social Responsibility.

Do you require to have any special qualification or skill for Redefining India? Well, you only require -

Love for "INDIA"

Passion to be the "Catalyst" of change

Belief in your "Actions"

Trust in others to become as "Committed"

Action to "Change" – yourself and others around you

India Redefined is trying to be the enablers of behavioral change in each of us! We must target the root causes - even if it is going to take longer. If each of us have a behavioral change, we could solve problems like Corruption (Clean, Transparent & Good Governance), Hygiene (Good health and Sanitation), Pollution (Clean and Green Environment), and Human Relations (harmonious Relationship with each other and different communities).

Implementation of India Redefined is divided into six stages, and when integrated, bases itself to a holistic improvement.

As the part of the implementation under AWAKEN INDIA, we have initiated our first project named "I CARE" which aims to get a large number of people motivated by executing simple activities SUCUSSEFULLY, which anyone is free to do. For example – Plant 10 trees and ignites 10 more people to do so. Reduce your Electric bill by 20 percent and ignite 10 more people to do. The key aspects in designing the activities are SIMPLICITY and HIGH SUCCESS RATIO.

These small activities when participated by large number of Indians will have a vibrant 'Dominos Effect'. Doing these activities will give the people moral confidence and a sense of achievement to participate in bigger activities. Awakening consists of:

Awareness (which is Gaining knowledge),

Education (or ability to Process knowledge) and

Communication (Spreading of knowledge)

The other projects under India Redefined umbrella are going to be "EDUCATE INDIA" and "Develop Your Own Village" which will be launched in coming months.

Youth, studying in colleges are helping to implement "EDUCATE INDIA". Students who are willing to be part of this movement take the oath - "I donate" 6 months of my life in training or education, for those who are underprivileged."

In India, education is supposed to be the great equalizer and the primary vehicle for upward mobility. But, the reality today is that all too often, where children are born determines their educational prospects. Across the country, largest number of children living in poverty have academic and, therefore, life prospects that are dramatically different than those of their peers in wealthier communities. Mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity (in terms of quality of education) by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort.

"I donate" will help in recruiting outstanding college graduates from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for 6 months in urban and rural schools for underprivileged during or immediately after their student life.

We appeal to you to join as a Volunteer and put your goodness in this basket of India Redefined

This could be the biggest telecom scam in India.

2010-11-19T18:02:00.001-08:00

Case Study – My uncle bought a phone 4/5 years ago which has a SIM of Reliance, for the past 4/5 years every month on 18^th 30 INR is deducted from his balance and he is unable to know what happen as he had made no calls anywhere, yesterday we made a enquiry from the Customer Care Support and the Customer Care Executive answered that a Marathi pack has been activated on my uncles SIM as my Uncle is Bengali and he has no connection to Marathi and he has never subscribed to any such pack and it was activated by the company automatically.

Now I come to the point where the scam takes place, a SMS pack is activated and a amount is deducted from the balance if a customer or consumer is aware he calls the Customer Care Support and requests for a deactivation of the SMS and the SMS pack is deactivated but the money deducted from the balance of the phone is not returned back. Among the Indian population many people are unaware that some or the other SMS pack has been activated on their phone and every month that money is getting deducted, where does that deducted money go as this money is being collected somewhere and getting used, think a large population losing every month a certain amount from their balance a amount which may reach a limit of lack’s and corers of INR, the people of India being robbed from their hard urned money in front of their eyes. The telecom industry does not provide any detailed information with regard to such kind of cases.

Where the hell this collected money is used the question arises, who uses it because it is being collected by every telecom company offering mobile services. The Government has to check this kind of scams.

The telecom industry is making a sea from drops which is the unaccounted money collected from the people of this country who are unaware that they are being robbed by their service provider by offering them unnecessary services. I demand a investigation on this matter.

Tell Manmohan Singh to "Put Indian lives above foreign profits -- Stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors to Maharashtra"

Dear Tuhin Kumar,

Why should we oppose this plant?

Thousands of safety violations have been detected in Areva's first EPR project in Finland.
There is no approved solution for high-level nuclear waste anywhere in the world.
No EPRs will be built in the US because of prohibitively high costs.
An accident would put millions at risk including those in densely populated Mumbai.

Last week over 600 people were arrested for standing up for their rights to live and work in safe surroundings. Over 2320 acres of land is being acquired by the Maharashtra government for Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) to build 6 mega nuclear reactors in Ratnagiri district. Protests have been suppressed using police violence and false charges^[1].

The NPCIL is planning to import expensive and unsafe nuclear reactors from French company, Areva. US and European nuclear regulators have identified severe flaws in the reactor and they have not approved the design.^[2]

Over 2000 people will lose their land and over 10,000 people will have their health and livelihood affected due to this plant. Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh has the power to stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors and listen to the concerns of the local people.

Can you ask Dr. Manmohan Singh asking him to put the interests of Indian people above the interests of foreign nuclear companies.

http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/Tell-manmohan-singh-to-stop-import-of-untested-nuclear-reactors/

Most of the people around the region have refused the compensation offered by the Maharashtra government. Showing their opposition to the nuclear power plant, over 3000 people voluntarily risked jail and they have been joined by prominent figures such as former High Court judge B. G. Kolse-Patil, Admiral L. Ramdas and retired Supreme Court Judge P. B. Samant.

The Indian government is once again putting the profits of foreign companies above the interests of its own people. Instead of putting people at risk we can provide safe electricity at a cheaper cost^[3] and much faster^[4] with decentralised renewable energy.

Tell Dr. Manmohan Singh to put the safety of Indians first and stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors to Maharashtra.

Dear Tuhin Kumar,

This is amazing! Over 20,000 people like you have taken the pledge to support renewable energy (RE). The energy infrastructure of the future is not one based on fossil fuels, but on RE – as that will make us energy secure in the long run, not coal.

Greenpeace launched the Urja Kranti yatra (Energy Revolution tour) in Bihar, which travelled over 1800 kms, spreading awareness about RE. Villages with a population of over 25 lakh are now supporters of RE. The traditional power systems don't deliver any power to these villages – not even in those which are on the grid and are supposed to be electrified.

Their support has resulted in four political parties of the state identifying RE as playing an important role in tackling the state's energy crisis. If we get more people to pledge support to RE, we can help show the importance of RE to all our leaders in the country.

Can you send the email below to your friends and family asking them to pledge their support to RE?

Thanks a billion!
Brikesh Singh

Dear Tuhin Kumar,

Click here to take a pledge for renewable energy

I have just returned from Bihar, where I travelled over 1800 kms, spreading the message of renewable energy (RE). Now there are villages with population of over 25 lakh people supporting RE. These villages have little or no access to electricity.

On 2nd October, 2010 Greenpeace launched the Urja Swaraj yatra from the Gandhi Sevagram in Bhitiharva, west Champaran, - the place where Gandhiji had called for swarajya (independence) in 1916. We met hundreds of village heads, self-help groups, local youth leaders, village people and local entrepreneurs and spoke to them about RE alternatives like solar, biomass and wind.

The idea was to garner support for RE in Bihar and make the political parties take notice of it in their manifestoes during the elections in the state. By signing this pledge you can help add strength to the demands being made by the people in the rural Bihar and also show our leaders the support for RE in the entire country.

Can you also show your support for RE by taking this pledge?

http://greenpeace.in/bihar-renewable-energy-pledge.html

The pledge says: I support clean and green renewable energy.

Four political parties in Bihar have already referred to RE playing a significant role in Bihar's energy plans in their manifestos. This happened mainly due to the support RE got from the people in rural Bihar.

Energy is central to development. This development can be green and clean if we invest in renewable energy.

This kind of energy can power rural Bihar [1] and change people's lives now. The energy revolution might just begin in Bihar!

Take the pledge to support renewable energy now and spread the word.

http://greenpeace.in/bihar-renewable-energy-pledge.html

Thanks a billion!

We have left governance to people who are not really our representative, policy to people who do not feel they are accountable to us, environment to NGOs who struggle without our support – the list can go on and on…We all talk of various problems in India at home, on facebook walls ,in our drawing rooms, offices, linkedin, etc.– but do little.Part of the reason is that we think that solving these are responsibility of the government, politicians, bureaucracy, economists or NGO's .Anyone but us.We are very fond of talking of our RIGHTS but shy away from even talking about our responsibilities as a citizen of the country. Many of us do not even bother to vote and then criticize the people who are elected on vote bank politics.This INERTIA is the root cause of many of our problems and we are partly to be blamed.So came the idea of INDIA REDEFINED ( www.indiaredefined-a4c.org)– A movement to create responsible and empowered citizens by bringing about "Behavioral Change". It is only when we do our duties we shall be empowered to demand our rights. It is by this change in behavior that we can unlock people's potential to be empowered citizens.This will redefine how we think and act as an Indian. …..and that is what INDIA Redefined is about.So, what is the Vision of INDIA Redefined? It is simply – CREATING A HAPPY INDIAAnd how can we create a Happy India?Most of the ordinary people want to do something for the country, they just don't know how. The idea is to mobilize these masses and bring them together.How does INDIA Redefined do it?By giving a structure to this… 'Desire to do Something'.By creating an opportunity for them, to achieve small successes in doing something for the society… Something within his resources and available time– a simple successful activity, that would not only be beneficial at a larger scale but also provide the motivation to strive for bigger changes. Developing this behavioral change across Indians of all strata, INDIA Redefined plans to tackle problems, leveraging the power of individual.It is a citizen's empowerment movement - a platform for ordinary citizens by ordinary citizens – each fulfilling his own ISR - Individual Social Responsibility. What makes this movement unique or even different?Well, there are many wonderful organizations, NGO, Charities which do a lot of wonderful work - But it never seems to be enough. Most of them work within a context or for a specific cause, that the overall positive effect ….. is lost in the gaps. One of the biggest reasons is that we have not tapped efficiently into the potential of the individual. INDIA Redefined is a platform for people from different, different social class, having different outlooks and opinions to come together and work towards redefining India.That is why INDIA Redefined's vision is created by an amalgamation of different visions that ultimately leads to a HAPPY INDIA.It is important to understand that we are not affiliated with a single political party or motive. But do not hesitate to work with any and every political party, business houses or NGO for the right cause.By bringing drops of people together on a common platform INDIA Redefined creates an ocean – Ocean strong enough to make government, politicians, public servants not only accountable but also make each Indian an Awakened Citizen… So where is INDIA Redefined today? In one year time the membership has already reached more than a lakh. This shows that there are people out there who want to 'do something'…Make a difference. All they need is the platform. The idea has not only got support of people but also some– it was adjudged "The Best Humanitarian Initiative" in December 2009 In this long journey of redefining India, we have taken only a few baby steps But then again, a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step…This idea…. Idea of a movement that is trying to tackle most, if not all, social issues and help citizens become empowered by the means of behavioral change, asks you for only one thing – DONATION. Not of MONEY. But of TIME. JOIN India Redefined.( www.indiaredefined-a4c.org )

An appeal from India Redefined movement

Please send this message to all the Indians you know.

India Redefined, a non-political Citizen's Empowerment movement www.indiaredefined-a4c.org is asking to fulfill ISR-Individual Social Responsibility, just as CSR is for corporates.

As a citizen of India, we ask you -

Do you want to make India better?

Are you fed up of table-talks with no action?

Are you willing to do your bit for the country?

Are you confused how to do this?

If your answer to any of these is YES, then join

India Redefined

India Redefined (www.indiaredefined-a4c.org) is a non-political Citizen's Empowerment movement. The movement got an award as 'The Best Humanitarian Initiative 2009'. The movement was started to light up the fire in the hearts of very Indian citizen, to be awakened, to exercise their rights and fulfill their obligation & responsibilities. This movement is for those Indians want to change the country into something which they will be proud to hand over to their children tomorrow. Citizen rights have been provided at the cost of some duties and obligations – these could be constitutional, social, civic or societal duties, that must be and should be performed by every citizen of India. Then only we can demand our rights.

India Redefined draws its inspiration from Gandhian Movement which was a revolution focused on independence. It was also about specific actions like non- cooperation by citizens. We are just trying to apply many Gandhiji's principles' in this era, in this society and during these times. Maybe in a different flavor! Maybe the context is different! Maybe it's a different world! But the goal is same! He also wanted India a better place to live in.

If all of us fellow Indians decide to come together on a common platform like India Redefined, for once leaving our religion, political affiliations, language, state, caste etc. at home, and with a common cause of creating India Redefined as the strongest platform to empower citizens, we really can have INDIA of our dreams. It is a social movement which is more about awareness, responsibility and ownership by all of us. Before we Indians start demanding what government can do for us, we should start thinking what we can do for our country.

Political Parties ask for Votes from common people, India Redefined is asking for only Support, because it is citizen's movement and not a political party. Political parties claim to work for 100 crore people, but if 100 crore people work for Redefining India – what can stop it from becoming the most powerful country. Put all your goodness on one platform - India Redefined, become the strongest citizen group & make public officials accountable by ensuring better governance, infrastructure and killing the corruption. India Redefined aims to help you fulfill your ISR - Individual Social Responsibility.

Do you require to have any special qualification or skill for Redefining India? Well, you only require -

Love for "INDIA"

Passion to be the "Catalyst" of change

Belief in your "Actions"

Trust in others to become as "Committed"

Action to "Change" – yourself and others around you

India Redefined is trying to be the enablers of behavioral change in each of us! We must target the root causes - even if it is going to take longer. If each of us have a behavioral change, we could solve problems like Corruption (Clean, Transparent & Good Governance), Hygiene (Good health and Sanitation), Pollution (Clean and Green Environment), and Human Relations (harmonious Relationship with each other and different communities).

Implementation of India Redefined is divided into six stages, and when integrated, bases itself to a holistic improvement.







As the part of the implementation under AWAKEN INDIA, we have initiated our first project named "I CARE" which aims to get a large number of people motivated by executing simple activities SUCUSSEFULLY, which anyone is free to do. For example – Plant 10 trees and ignites 10 more people to do so. Reduce your Electric bill by 20 percent and ignite 10 more people to do. The key aspects in designing the activities are SIMPLICITY and HIGH SUCCESS RATIO.

These small activities when participated by large number of Indians will have a vibrant 'Dominos Effect'. Doing these activities will give the people moral confidence and a sense of achievement to participate in bigger activities. Awakening consists of:

Awareness (which is Gaining knowledge),

Education (or ability to Process knowledge) and

Communication (Spreading of knowledge)

The other projects under India Redefined umbrella are going to be "EDUCATE INDIA" and "Develop Your Own Village" which will be launched in coming months.

Youth, studying in colleges are helping to implement "EDUCATE INDIA". Students who are willing to be part of this movement take the oath - "I donate" 6 months of my life in training or education, for those who are underprivileged."

In India, education is supposed to be the great equalizer and the primary vehicle for upward mobility. But, the reality today is that all too often, where children are born determines their educational prospects. Across the country, largest number of children living in poverty have academic and, therefore, life prospects that are dramatically different than those of their peers in wealthier communities. Mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity (in terms of quality of education) by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort.

"I donate" will help in recruiting outstanding college graduates from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for 6 months in urban and rural schools for underprivileged during or immediately after their student life.

We appeal to you to join as a Volunteer and put your goodness in this basket of India Redefined

India Redefined (www.indiaredefined-a4c.org) is asking to fulfill ISR-Individual Social Responsibility, just as CSR is for corporates. The movement got an award as 'The Best Humanitarian Initiative 2009'. India Redefined is trying to be the enablers of behavioral change in each of us! We must target the root causes - even if it is going to take longer. If each of us have a behavioral change, we could solve problems like Corruption (Clean, Transparent & Good Governance), Hygiene (Good health and Sanitation), Pollution (Clean and Green Environment), and Human Relations (harmonious Relationship with each other and different communities). Youth, studying in colleges are helping to implement "EDUCATE INDIA". Students who are willing to be part of this movement take the oath - "I donate" 6 months of my life in training or education, for those who are underprivileged". Mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity (in terms of quality of education) by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort. "I donate" will help in recruiting outstanding college graduates from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for 6 months in urban and rural schools for underprivileged during or immediately after their student life.
We need more City Coordinators, Chapter Coordinators and Student Coordinators to take on the responsibility, in different cities of India. There are 92 State Coordinators, City coordinators, chapter coordinators and few student coordinators till now in different cities of India. If you want to suggest anyone's names for Chapter Coordinator or Student Coordinators then please send a mail regarding this at ranjanakanti@indiaredefined-a4c.org All work is purely voluntary and no money is asked or paid – because this is your own movement and you should be doing it for yourself.

Also I came across a blog by an Indian expert ( http://bit.ly/9GezND ) explaining about the use cutting edge technologies of two different initiatives of US & UK governments in providing a smarter, open and transparent government. The approach by UK government looks very interesting, using Semantic Technology & Linked Data. This is need of the hour for our own government and I wonder when our leaders will wake up to implement such a system. Our government's effort have, so far, been piece-meal in providing scattered e-governance solutions and require a focus in the direction taken by other leading world governments to give the citizens a smarter government, better sooner than later.

We should try to get bureaucrats at policy making level and dynamic ministers in the government to look up at this kind of initiatives and even try getting people like these to help create an integrated framework for smarter governance.

Fwd: Ultimately it's all about EK Jodi Kapda (A pair of clothes)

Subject: Ultimately it's all about EK Jodi Kapda (A pair of clothes)
To: "tuhinkumar.heavenking@gmail.com" <tuhinkumar.heavenking@gmail.com>

"Kitney log? kaun janta hai ? hazaro lashey thikaney lagayi hai mainey". (How many people, who knows ? I have taken care of thousands of dead bodies). The frail, lost, over 80 years old Habib murmurs on a recent visit to the footpath where he still lives in Delhi.

Nothing has changed in Habib's life, except there is now a small horn on the tricycle he uses for picking up bodies from different places. He is still on the footpath with his blind wife Amna begum. The little girl who shocked me 19 years ago with her statement - "when I feel cold I hug the dead body and sleep. It does not trouble me, it does not turn around" is a grown up women today. Habib still gets news of dead bodies to be picked up. Like every year, he is worried about winters, since the number of deaths doubles almost on a daily basis but Habib is more worried about what will happen after him? Who will pick up a person who comes to Delhi in search of a job and dies on the roads due to lack of woolens.

I have been following Habib for many years now. His story and GOONJ's in-depth work on clothing over the years has reaffirmed my belief that 'winters are a much bigger disaster than earthquake or floods'. The irony is that it's a regular, known disaster, more people die in winters due to lack of clothing and we don't even call it an unnatural death, maintain records or give compensation. Earthquake or floods don't discriminate between rich and poor. but on the other hand in winters, in the same city one person dies because of cold while I survive.. enjoy my life.. at the same place, in the same temperature. The culprit is not winters or cold, it's the lack of clothing which kills people..

GOONJ has been working towards making clothing a matter of concern through its nationwide movement Vastra- Samman for the last many years and I'm happy that it has started getting
its due place. A basic, ignored need of the human kind is now getting a wider attention of agencies, media, corporates, government and the larger public.

The recently concluded Joy of Giving Week was a good success; a wide spectrum of people and organizations joined the initiative. More recently Whirlpool and GOONJ have launched Ek Jodi Kapda; a pan India campaign. It's a vibrant, mass scale effort to talk about the issue, raise awareness to a larger audience and collect material. It's your chance to join the initiative. The collection centers in many cities are active till November 10^th. Do visit www.ekjodikapda.com to find out more about the campaign and your nearest collection centre. Do write back at mail@goonj.org or call up 011-41401216 in case you need more information.

Meanwhile 50 people have joined GOONJ's TEAM 2000. We are hoping to bring together a strong team of 2000 people who commit a sum of Rs. 10,000/- (about $ 250) per annum i.e just about Rs. 800/- a month to GOONJ. Feel free to commit less or more. There is no compulsion or restriction that you have to do this for a lifetime.. as long as you have faith in our work or can do it- do it . This will make us self sufficient in terms of our regular expenses while any extra funds generated will be used for growth, expansion and wider replication.

Given a vast base of friends and well wishers, we are confident that this is achievable. We do hope that like all other initiatives TEAM 2000 is also largely volunteers driven. Apart from signing up we certainly want you to talk to your friends, relatives and colleagues to join the team..

A cheque/draft in the name of GOONJ with your full name, address, Pan No., email ID & Tel. Number can be sent to J-93, Sarita Vihar, New Delhi-76. Please click here to download the form. All the financial contributions in India are tax exempted u/s 80G of IT act. Write back to mail@goonj.org if you want to make an online transfer.

Keep referring www.goonj.org and join us on facebook . We'll soon be uploading the reports on the Joy of Giving Week and our Leh Floods relief work on the website.

Over to you..

New Delhi is in the middle of a big secret internal debate/ongoing contacts with the UFOs and extra-terrestrials.

2010-09-01T00:20:00.001-07:00

New Delhi is in the middle of a big secret internal debate. On one side the largest democracy of the world is eager to explain to its citizens and to the world about the ongoing contacts with the UFOs and extra-terrestrials. On the other hand there are invisible untold international protocols that prohibit doing anything that may cause worldwide fear and panic.

It is well accepted between the UFO and extra-terrestrial experts that all the five nuclear powers are in contact with the beings from other stars for quite some time. Recently India has seen enormous news on UFO contacts and secret UFO bases in Himalayas near the Chinese bases. In Ladak, for example the locals clearly point out the everyday phenomenon of large triangular spacecrafts coming out below the ground and Indian security forces protecting them.

Military officials and politicians have confessed the fact that India has been contacted. India has been told the rules of the Universe.

The current debate is on whether to keep it secret like other countries are doing or in tradition of a total transparent society come out and tell the truth. India is so open and democratic; it is very difficult to keep a secret for long. The biggest concern of the Government today is that unlike in other countries, it will be very difficult to keep it secret for long. If the information comes out through unofficial channels first and then the authorities are pressed against the wall to confess, two bad things can happen. First, it can really cause a panic in the country as well as the world. Second, the way the Indian politics is run, the ruling party will be thrown out of power in no time i it is ever found that the Government withheld such information from the public.

The recent rush of world leaders to India is remarkable. Starting from Russian President Putin to major Senators from America have visited or are planning to visit India. European Union is in deep discussion with India on cooperation. All sanctions against India's nuclear programs and Indian Space Research Organization are in the process of being lifted. India is cooperating with Europeans and the Americans in space explorations and technology research program. India is also part of World Trade Organization. India is receiving major outsourcing contracts in IT and call-center service work from America and Europe. India's Forex reserve is at a level never imagined before because of international direct investments from Western nations, Japan, Korea and others. Interestingly, China the arc rival of India changed its posture in the last few years to make India's friendship and trade a priority. India is slowly getting to the point when it is accepted as a permanent member of the Security Council. All the five Security Council members China, America, Russia, France and UK support India's inclusion.

When all these factors are added together and analyzed, it seems like India is being told by the world to abide by the hidden protocols and in exchange be recognized as a major emerging superpower.

The debate the country is facing internally is whether to abide by the laws of the world and the Universe to be recognized as a superpower or be truthful to its citizens and the world.

According to sources close to the Government, the UFO contacts is known by quite a few politicians in the opposition and of course by those who are in power.

The military has legitimate concern of not letting the secrets out either.

Recently, India's foreign affairs minister Mr. Natwar Singh came out and said that for India it was not necessary to become a nuclear power. He is a strong supporter of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, India's former Prime Minister who initiated the nuclear program in the mid sixties. India first exploded a nuclear device in Pokhran in early seventies. The whole country including people from his own party questioned Mr. Singh for such an irresponsible statement. But on analyzing his statements, it is evident, that based on what he knows now, being a nuclear power really does not matter much because the technologies controlled by the extra-terrestrials are so advanced that all our technologies mean really nothing. But importantly he may be irritated with this controversial ongoing secret debate and what he really meant was that if India was not a nuclear power, the debate on UFO and extra-terrestrials will never be there in India.
