Indiarocks:To become the candidate of Loksatta, I have to contest a primary election among other interested candidates. Voting in this election is open not only to party members, but to the public too. That's the difference. Loksatta is the citizens' party.
nice .. Offer me the entire world and I would still prefer to be a slave of India and Hindutva .. |

Tpg:that is why they are involved in politics in policy making issues.. he was one of the advisors in NAC (National Advisory Council) and has/had access to Sonia Gandhi. he is the champion for NGREGA Act... etc etc..
I meant more in the terms of an MP, MLA, MLC etc. An NAC member does not have executive/law making power. They can propose really good things but the ultimate power lies in the hands of the legislator. Take the Lokpal fiasco for example, it took so long and is still unsuccessful only bcoz we do not have enough number of good MPs in the houses. The superior man understands what is right. The inferior man understands what will sell. The predicament of politics is to make the right thing saleable. What is JP doing for Kukatpally?

Indiarocks:My personal feeling is that NGOs, volunteer orgs can only do so much.
TOTALLY true.. even Dr. Ravi and gang agrees to this.. that is why they are involved in politics in policy making issues.. he was one of the advisors in NAC (National Advisory Council) and has/had access to Sonia Gandhi. he is the champion for NGREGA Act... etc etc.. |

Tpg:actually their work in Narmada valley was inspiration to Ashutosh.. he came accross their work while shooting for Lagaan somewhere in Gujarat, Aamir and Ashutosh were spellbound.. and Ashutosh took his thread for Swades. Dr. Ravi's father is a scientist at BARC.. he lives in Delhi and happens to be Medha Patkar's neighbor in Mumbai... Unfortunately thru Swades/SRK his "AID" did not get needed publicity/media attention..
Good to know this. My personal feeling is that NGOs, volunteer orgs can only do so much. It takes a lot to sustain them. If good people like Ravi enter politics, and people support them, they can make their work sustainable for ever by bringing changes in the system. The superior man understands what is right. The inferior man understands what will sell. The predicament of politics is to make the right thing saleable. What is JP doing for Kukatpally?

Tpg:Dr. Ravi kante she is even more inspiring.. she is an ABCD... born in India and raised is US.. came to India when she was around 2 years
Yes, both super couple. Their work in Srikakulam is the inspiration for Swades village episode. AP should send them also to the Houses. That way they will be able to make more difference.

What Dr. Ashwin says about Lok Satta
quote:A lot of people ask me about Loksatta, and how it is different from the 'established' parties - Congress, BJP or JD(S). This election has made it much easier for me to give a simple answer. To become the candidate of Loksatta, I have to contest a primary election among other interested candidates. Voting in this election is open not only to party members, but to the public too. That's the difference. Loksatta is the citizens' party.

We watched a NASA employee returning to his home country to serve the nation. We have a similar story, only difference is that its not a movie, but a reality. Dr. Ashwin Mahesh, a PhD in geophysics, and a former scientist at NASA. He returned to India in 2005 to work on urban development issues, and on technologies to strengthen public administration. He was named one among Wired magazine's 50 individuals' smart list of people who will change the world. Dr. Mahesh is tirelessly working with BBMP to solve Bangalore's traffic problems, urban planning etc. More details here http://www.ashwinmahesh.in/me.htm Dr. Mahesh is Lok Satta candidate for MLC. All graduate Bangaloreans help your city by voting for him The superior man understands what is right. The inferior man understands what will sell. The predicament of politics is to make the right thing saleable. What is JP doing for Kukatpally?
