What do we do now...

One of our readers posted this as a comment but we felt that it deserved it's own post and discussion.


-Get together with the people in your building and neighbouring buildings and form a group, because only together can we all fight this battle.
-Join the local area office of any party that you support or think will work with you(BJP/Congress/MNS/Shiv Sena etc..) in your area. Help them in whatever work they are carrying out. Try and attend all the meetings possible that they hold and make sure to voice your opinions where ever possible. Start off with doing the work they have underway and then ask them to do things you want them to.
-Visit your local area police stations and fire stations. Enquire about the safety measures they have in place there. Find out about their 'in case of emergency' drills. Through the party that you are working with, make sure that the police in your area get all the ammunition's, safety jackets etc.. that they need.
-Start an NGO with the help of people in your society/ locality and create awareness among the people about why and how to bring about change.
-DO NOT DONATE IN CASH!! Make all the donations in kind, if we give cash then thats only another reason we'll have for our next protest rally!
-Get the BMC to clear up all the garbbage in your area that has been lying around for sometime.Make them visit the area regularly. Get their help to remove illegal pan shops and bidi wallahs from the area.
-Do all of this POLITELY , force will not get us anywhere.

We welcome other suggestions and comments.

We need to have booklets on voting information, something easy to understand and accessible. We need more youth leaders who have a stronger voice.
