“Older order should change, always and ever, yielding place for new, so that one good order may not corrupt the world.” - Bhagat Singh
Mahatma Gandhi
"Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side. We shut the doors of reason when we refuse to listen to our opponents or, having listened, make fun of them."
Babasaheb Ambedkar
"There is nothing wrong in being grateful to great men who have rendered life-long services to the country. But there are limits to gratefulness. As has been said by the Irish patriot Daniel O'Connel, no man can be grateful at the cost of his honour, no woman can be grateful at the cost of her chastity and no nation can be grateful at the cost of its liberty. This caution is far more necessary in the case of India than in the case of any country."
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
"Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences."
Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India
“Democracy is a matter of pride for our country – something that we must always cherish, preserve and always strengthen”
First Announcement
About Us
We are a group of citizens who want Indian democracy to be strengthened in the overall national interest. We don’t believe that arguing and complaining using WhatsApp, Facebook or other social media is sufficient. However, if that energy can be channelized for a positive action that would be more useful for our nation.
Most of us have busy personal and professional lives and are not political activists in the true sense or members of any political party. But we are aware that politics affects all of us whether we accept it or not. We also are concerned enough to realize that a single party dominance may not be good for the nation.
Most of us are based in India but some are also based abroad in the US, UK, and Singapore, united with a vision of a vibrant democratic India. To know more about the people who came together to start this initiative please visit the team section at the bottom of this page.
