Great news !!

Wow, now we have a professional political party focusing on the indifferent middle class population of India. Going though their website, it looks like a really good and promising one. They are building a good platform and support structure for all the aspiring professionals to overcome the fear and ignorance of entering politics. Though the organization has a long way to go, its a great starting point I believe.

I have asked my friend in Pune to attend their 'Open House' meeting, and check it out in reality.

Please go through the website, and if you feel so too, you can spread the word. Also, you can register in their website to show your support, and you will get updates about the happenings as well. And ofcourse, if you are in India, then you can participate and contribute in various ways as listed in the link at the end of this post - like setting up the local town or city chapter in your locality.

Also, they have a 'Funding' link for donations. If you are already donating for some NGOs or other social work organizations, then you can consider donating some or all of that amount here. Because, this will be more effective in the long run - here we fix the root cause for all those problems. This is a top-down approach - rather than sweeping the bottom of the pyramid all the time when the top is still happily producing more shit, we can look to reach for cleaning the top. I am certainly considering redirecting some of my periodic donations to this cause.

Here is the link to the website.

That is really a good news. Last time when I was in India, there was comparatively good support for the party formed by graduates (not sure if they are IIMs) in Chennai. Hope they will rock!
