Rang De Basanti? ... no, not playing psychoanalyst, but that's the first thing that came to mind.

Anyway, we do need to do something. Guess you must have heard about the IIT guys who founded a party...

Rang de Basanti also. But there are lots of stuff that I am hearing about.

We have a prof..who is part of this NGO which keeps track of criminal records of politicians and in the recent bihar elections after candidates filed nominations.. this NGO came out with the list of criminal offences and many parties withdrew candidates and people refused to vote for parties if they fielded the mention candidates.. This NGO got praise from media and Election Commission too.

IITians forming political party .. heard it sometime ago. They were already political consultants and now taking plunge.

Over two years have met people who fight for freedom of speech, rehabilitation of displaced, mentally challenged people, against corruption, spoke to people who championed a small law in Guj/Maharastra for over years which today has resulted in Right to Information act.

I think its time to take the plunge.
