Dear Bimal-ji
1) Concerning Hypocrisy: As you know me better (in this group) you may
discover that I am not a hypocrite. Sometimes first impressions can be
deceptive. Yes I am brusque, rude , arrogant and all those other
things, but I am also very humble, patient, honest, true and direct.
You will see ('darsan') of all these other avatars also in this purest
temple of RTI which we call RTI_India - and it is not me but *our*
collective spirit.
2) Concerning honouring others: As Lord Krishna guides Arjuna in
Bhagvad Gita, "Think not of your relatives, these are all immortal
souls on their way to being one with the Supreme Lord - Brahman. Do
your duty and leave the outcome to God. Hesitate not, pick up your
sword / bow and fight - Don't think of the consequences.". In our
group we do not show partiality towards anyone (by honorifics) for
that would dishonour others, but neither do we flinch from exposing
Untruth. We respect everyone who is here seeking Truth and thereby
Purpose in Life. We especially value those who are working for the
benefit of others / society and not themselves, and these are not
empty words but backed by deeds.
3) Concerning the specifics of my remarks to you. This is a group for
winners - or to be more precise "non-losers" - of RTI. I cannot
promise you victory BUT I can promise you that if you follow our
group's principles you will not lose too badly. As you know we are
facing a completely biased and rotten system for RTI. It is my open
challenge that if I was a PIO and say IC.A.N.Tewary applied to me in
RTI - I can ensure that even he would not get a scrap of worthwhile
information via this stupid law. We are here to show you ways around
this Act to achieve your purpose, which is why Col Kurup calls us (not
*me*) "one and only". I am not going to tell you why you were wrong
and I made that remark - Sir you know the answer already (the RTI fee
and *COST* Rules for Maharashtra) - lets get over with it and on to
Truth and Victory!!!
