About myself (author) : I completed my B Tech in Computer Science from IIT-Delhi in 1990 and then completed MS from Rutgers, USA. I came back in apr-1999 due to my parents’ ill health. I studied US administration, courts, police etc for several years and compared with India, and concluded that US is ahead because of laws such as Right to Recall, Jury System, wealth tax, inheritance tax etc and “political culture theory” given by the Political Superstitionists is humbug. Since oct-1998, I have been spreading information about proposed laws such as RTI2, RTR-PM (RTR = Right to Recall), RTR Supreme Court judges, RTR RBI Governor, now RTR Lokpal, Jury System, wealth tax, inheritance tax etc. I contested may-2009 Loksabha election in Gandhinagar Constituency with sole goal of publicizing Right to Recall PM and other proposed law-drafts. I was 4th rank with 7300 votes. In oct-2010, I contested Municipal elections and in feb-2011 I contested Assembly by-election to further publicize RTR. I plan to contest dec-2012 Assembly elections in Gujarat and also may-2014 Parliamentary election to spread information about RTR in citizens. Another goal is to convince as many non-80G-activists as possible that they too should contest elections on RTR issue.

THE PREFACE
The Recallists.
That’s what we call ourselves ….. the Recallists.
We Recallists are the commons of India, not members of civil society, who believe that we commons of India must force the PM to print Right to Recall procedures in Gazette Notification next month, so that using these procedures we commons of India can expel Supreme Court Chief judge, PM, Lokpal, Reserve Bank Governor, Sarpanch etc within 1-2 months (if need to expel arises), without having to convince any authority like judges, Ministers, MPs or Lokpals. In modern India, we Recallists have been around since 1920s. eg Consider Shri Sachendra Nath Sanyal, Guru of Bhagat Singh and the founder of Hindustan Republican Association. Shri Sanyal wrote in manifesto of HRA in 1-jan-1925 "In this Republic (we will create) the electors shall have the right to recall their representatives, if so desired, otherwise the democracy shall become a mockery." (see :shahidbhagatsingh.org/index.asp?link=revolutionary ). So RTR demand in India is over 85 years old.
We Recallists are pitted against anti-recallists i.e. those who hate Right to Recall PM, RTR Supreme Court judges, RTR Lokpal, RTR MP etc proposals under the false excuses of Constitution, logistics, instability, false arguments that we commons sell votes and false claims that intellectuals/judges are not nepotic and don’t sell out. And we Recallists suffer more from pseudo-recallists (like The Anna and The Team). The pseudo-recallists claim they support RTR, but damage the movement by asking activists not to discuss procedural aspects, by asking activists to campaign against RTR Lokpal clauses, by asking activists not to demand RTR drafts, by asking activists to confine to “draftless RTR” over Panchayat and by asking activists to postpone RTR on Supreme Court judges, PM, CMs, Lokpals etc till next life time. The pseudo-recallists also remain silent when anti-recallists call RTR impractical. The pseudo-recallists aim to lead less-informed Recallists to dead end and thus kill RTR movement. They are the biggest obstacles for us t-Recallists.
0.1 So why did we Recallists become Recallists?
So what makes us Recallists Recallists? I don’t know what made me a Recallist and I don’t know what made me Recallist in 1998 and what made colleagues Recallists after they read my articles. And I don’t know what made Shri Sanyal a Recallist in 1920s. But following 2 factors look possible – (1) common sense (2) fear of war against China, US, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia etc
The first factor is plain vanilla common sense. To explain this common sense factor, I need you to answer a simple question. If you refuse to answer this question, I cant explain you my reason. So pls do try to answer this question. And pls read ahead only after answering this simple question :
Say you own a factory with 100 employees – managers, laborers etc. And suddenly Govt makes 2 new rules –
- you can NOT expel managers till they are 65 years and cant expel any workers for next 5 years
- every month, money from your account will be deducted and salary will go to your employees.
Question : Then after three months, will the level of indiscipline increase or decrease?
Please read further only after answering the above question. I will re-ask this question : three months after these new rules come, will level of indiscipline increase or decrease?
IOW, if we the commons of India, can not expel judges, MPs, Ministers, IAS etc they will all become undisciplined, corrupt, nepotic etc. That’s why Shri Sanyal, Guru of Bhagat Singh said in 1925 that “elections with recall are mockery”. And Satyarth Prakash also says that “Raajaa must be Prajaadheen or else he will rob citizens”. RTR was implemented in Greece in 600 BC and made Greece so powerful that Greece could win up to the river Yamuna. And RTR has been implemented in US since 1800s and is main reason why US has been able to conquer Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan, Libya and India may be next. But one doesn’t need scriptures nor history nor examples of Greece and US to get the idea behind of Right to Recall --- it is plain vanilla common sense. Most problems of us commons in India are not different from the factory owner who can not fire workers for 5-35 years. And the solution to our problems is also trivial --- procedures by which we may expel officers, Ministers, judges. This book describes these proposed procedures and what non-80G-activists can do to get them printed in the Gazette.
The second factor that makes us Recallists Recallists is the fear of coming wars. IMO, the most important reason why we need good and fair governance is to survive coming wars. Will India face a war? Leninbhai told me “Peace is an interval between wars”. We Recallists do not know for sure if and when India will face wars. But then, no one in 1989 knew that US would war against Iraq and loot half the Iraq in 1990 and loot other half in 2004. And none knew in Jan-2010 that Europe\US would loot Libya. We fear that India may end up in into a war against some of her enemies. So India has three choices (1) India can import weapons or (2) India can manufacture weapons (3) India can neither import nor manufacture weapons
- If India doesn’t import weapons and also doesn’t manufacture weapons, then India would very badly lose that war. The elitemen will flee to West and will be safe, but we commons will suffer 10 times more than what Hindus in Pakistan suffered in 1947. To give an estimate, 1947, some 10 lakhs Hindus in Pakistani were stabbed or burnt\buried\skinned alive, some 4 crore Hindus had to flee, and over 40 lakh Hindu women were raped and then forced to convert\marry or forced to flee or just killed. Some of us fear that if India doesn’t import or make weapons, the fate of possible wars with US, Pakistan, China etc could 10 times worse than what happened in 1947.
- Now if India imports weapons, India may avoid half the massacre, but would become slave of weapon exporting Western countries. I believe that the weapon exporters will exploit the dependence and then take over all mineral mines, oil wells, spectrum, banks and would ruin science/maths education system of India and later Christianize whole of India just like Philippines.
- So I and other Recallists suggest that we should manufacture weapons in India. So we commons must create a regime that would enable large scale manufacturing of US-quality weapons in India.
Now we Recallists believe that such regime cannot come into existence without Right to Recall PM, Right to Recall Supreme Court judges, MRCM, Right to Recall District Education Officer and many such drafts we have proposed. And so we promote RTR so that a regime that promotes weapon manufacturing can come into existence. So may be our fears of possible wars are all wrong. May be nothing is going to happen. But what I and many Recallists think that if wars can ruin India, then RTR etc are the only law-drafts which may save us. So all in all, the fear of wars is one reason which had made many of us Recallists became Recallists.

0.2 Why I decided to write such a long book?
This book is over 400 pages. To get basics of RTR, you don’t need to read all 400 pages to understand part of it. Please just read chap-1 , chap-13 and then glance at the table of contents and jump to the area of interest --- such as Military, Education, Swadeshi, Court, Police or curb communalism or Gau-Raksha or saving Hindu temples or whatever.
Why is this party manifesto so long? Well, I need many activists. And many activists have pet causes. E.g. some activists consider Education as “must-address” issue. Some activists consider Military as must-address issue, some consider cow-slaughter as must-address issue and so forth. If their pet issue is absent, the manifesto is useless for them. Now I want to show to maximal number of activists that their cause will benefit from proposed Right to Recall, RTI2 etc law-drafts. And for that I need to address all pet issues. So I wrote drafts of laws to reduce over 40 problems to meet expectations of various activists engaged in various pet causes. And so book has so many chapters. Also, I used larger fonts and used more space between lines than most books so that senior citizens too can read with ease. So the book is over 350 pages. The next edition of this book will be about 500 pages, and second and third volumes will discuss 20-25 more issues, and will have 500 pages each .
========
0.3 So will people read such a long book? And other issues
Many have asked me this question – “will people read such a 500 page long book”? I will answer a similar but different question --- how many people i.e. citizens of India will read this book? There are 75 crore adults in India. And of these, how many will read this book? Now consider a citizen who has decided not to 100 hours in reading any book, be my book or any other book Surely he will not read this or any book. So out of 75 crore adults, some 74 crore would not be interested in reading any long book. So 74 crore out of 75 crore adults will not read my book. Now out of the remaining 1 crore , how many will read my book? Now consider a person who wants to spend say 4 hours a week of his time to reduce MNC domination, poverty etc. Say such a person has 500 books in front him and one of them is my Manifesto aka 301.pdf book. If that activist is convinced that 100 hours needed to read this book will give him guidance in his goal of reducing problems of Indians, he will surely read it. Now say about 1000 pro-poor anti-corruption activists are convinced by my phone conversations and emails that these 350 pages are worth the time. Say they decide to read these 350 pages. And if these pages are worth the goal of reducing corruption, poverty, then these 1000 activists will request more activists to read my book, and their personal recommendation aka word of mouth will fetch more readers. So to increase the readership, I decided to increase the usefulness of contents for a pro-poor anti-videshi anti-corruption activists without giving any thought to the length. The final version of this book 301.pdf will have 600 pages and volume-2 and volume-3 will have 600 pages each. And by the time 10000 people read whole of these 3 books, RTR laws would have come in India – this book’s purpose would have been served. So all in all, my goal to ensure that 10000 people read this book. That would suffice.

==============
In the memory of
My father Late Shri Chimanbhai Mehta and my mother Late Shrimarti Nirmalaben Mehta. My father was a Freedom Fighter and had participated in Quit India movement in 1942, and served prison sentence. He pioneered work in land reforms in Gujarat in 1940s and early 1950s. I had to come back from US to India in 1999, only because my parents had refused to come to US despite their ailing health. This book perhaps would not have existed, if they had agreed to come and stay in US. My father was also a co-author of 1st edition of this book. And my guru, Rajiv Dixitjee. I differed with him and agreed on many topics, but his commitment for Right to Recall since 1996 did inspire me.
===============
Who wrote the drafts given in this book?
I wrote the first set of Right to Recall law-drafts , MRCM law-draft and JurySys draft in oct-1998, and has been modifying them since then as per the feedbacks and changes in technology. The versions in this book were written in dec-2004 and since then there has been only minor changes. I have copylefted the drafts, i.e. I don’t own copyright and no one does. Each person is free to make changes and spread them in his own way. And everyone is free to refer to these drafts as “my drafts”, and I have no objection. In fact, I have requested all Recallists to refer to these drafts as “my drafts”. As such, Right to Recall was demanded in the Manifesto of Hindustan Republican Association, the organization of Sachindranath Sanyal, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh in 1925. RTR is also referred in Satyarth Prakash written by Swami Dayanand. And he took sholkas from Atharvaved, which was written by sages 1000s of years ago. And MRCM was stated by Thomas Paine in 1790 and is also mentioned in Atharvaved. All in all, when I say “my draft”, I do not mean I am the owner, I am merely a person who drafted them first in recent times.
