Dear Group. I am pleased to commend our member Shri Babubhai from Ahmedabad. Not only is he a singer who care for homeless people, he finds solutions for them by innovative use of RTI and modern day internet technolgies like YouTube.
We all know that India's jails are over-crowded with criminals and that jail manuals are flouted with impunity with human rights tossed in the dustbin. Mr.Vaghela has discovered the noble solution is to identify the unused jail rooms (if any) and accomodate our homeless people in them. Unfortunately the heartless MHA will not agree with him. A clever PIO will simply transfer his RTI request to the States and Mr.Vaghela will be forced to file Appeals in every SIC in the country. Our group must help him, if only to show that at [RTI_India] we also do not lag behind [Hum Janenge] in encouraging public spirited RTI activists who wish to share all their good work in the public domain through our member's e-mailboxes. PS: If you ever missed K.L.Saigal, here is our group's Mr.Vaghela http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE2kPyxEkyE PPS: "K For Kishore" on Sony (9:00PM) tonite/tomorrow faces very tough competition in NDTV Imagine's "Dhoom Macha Le". My wife and I are fighting over the remotes for this one. We have Guju-"behn" Nayan Rathod versus Guju-rapper Devang Patel.
