Current enlistments 1600+, Target 10,000

Doing great still, apart from a few occasional trivial problems. 10th Day starts. Could not consolidate the past 200+ enlistments or so. But it is raining enlistments now. Will post list over the weekend.

To answer a few concerns:


Why Hunger Strike?
The main intention is to make the already active groups think about working together. This is not happening anyways. If this happens, 10,000 can be reached any day.

How to believe you? Who knows it for sure?
I am not sitting somewhere on road with banners and all like a traditional striker. I cannot prove it in any way that I have actually not eaten any (solid) food. As I am not a politician but a person like you, you can be sure that I have respect for hope and faith of people. I love my food (realizing it more so these days), later when I have time I will write all about what it means to go without food.

We are working continuously to reach the online community and attending to our professional committments by working extra. We don't have any money or sponsored muscle behind us. We are just a few individuals (numbers growing by the moment) trying to stoke the fire in other ordinary people like us!


But no one knows about it!!
Since we have managed to reach as far as you, we are sure that we will go further. We completely trust the Internet medium of reaching out to a fair number of educated people.

Media coverage might have helped but I think it is only of documentary importance. Our media is being funny these days, they hardly have that flair for true journalism and fall way short of getting people to think and move. Even one can't look at them to make an informed opinion.


Ah! Why Project Coffee?
We do not have any formal name yet and neither are we a formal body. Most of us haven't even met. We just intend to be a collection of as many like minded individuals and organizations. That is, we are loose like coffee powder.

Then coffee is something that boosts spirit (what we are trying to do), is precious (indeed, next only to oil...and it is precious to us), when it brews the environment knows, mixes well, is catchy, is bitter when not matured (we may fail terribly and vilified) and is extremely agreeable when done well (think...). The people who access the Internet/computers most have a special bonding with Coffee and they are our first allies!

We the yong, educated people want to do something for our country. Thats why we want to synergize with you to see what we can do together

We had better sounding names like Project Ashwamega (which symbolizes our immediate purpose immaculately) but we opted to keep it simpler and multi-ethnic. After all, this is just one stage, the true name will evolve.

hi Anurag..

good to know that your working towards a reasonable target.. I am very sure you will achieve it.. even if you dont.. i am already your fan for even trying..

Best of Luck!!

I have done my bit by forwarding email to everyone I know..
 
Count me in!
 
Hi Anurag,

You would have many points in mid , I have one to share with u , caste based reservation goes on for generation, one man gets benefit based on caste , and his offspring to , this could have been one reason for the increased population . Moreover any surname u take will be a OBC in any of the states in India , so it is just a matter of 1000 bugs to get an OBC category.


Thanks & Regards,

Saurabh Kathuria

Please give up the hunger strike. People like Narayanan Murthy of Infosys, Ratan Tata, Aziz Premji of Wipro,Rahul Bajaj of Baja Auto and the like are against the ill advised and patently designed move for political advantage and creating divisions among Indian people.. Please keep these people informed of your action plan.
I am 88 and not of much use for an agitation! Wishing full steam for your efforts.
 
Hey Anurag.

I just noticed that one orkut community has nearly 9938 members, including yourself.

While, I'm not a big fan of orkut as a medium, I think your target of 10,000 supporters united on one platform can be considered hit (because there will be atleast some disjoint between your 540 and these 9938).

Lets start of with some concrete action. We have critical mass. Atleast some people are looking up to you.

No, i'm not going to say i'm with you unless i actually do something with you guys. Tell me how can i contribute so that i can be with you guys.

Internet is bringing in revolution but only in the drawing room discussions. I want to say this first to myself and then to lakhs others like me, "Come on people wake up". Lets do something more in practical terms.

Anurag, please direct me as to how can i help in getting people over this drawing room latency and not just discuss but also do something worth while.
