Dear all non-80G-activists,
Since past 5000 years, there has been bad things in politics, and persons have tried to fix them. A non-80G-activist is a person who is spending his own time, energy, money, taking risk of being insulted, shunned or even physically harassed, to reduce wrongness in politics, with no aim of gaining media publicity or cash or position.
The past regimes used to openly confront with non-80G-activists and try to crush them. But as communication means improved this became difficult. So regimes adopted new approach --- use paid media to glorify psuedo-activist-leaders who are giving time-pass agenda, create a false image that they are fighting against the regime, make non-80G-activist work on their time-pass agenda and thus dissipate their energies.
British were the first one in India to mastermind this method. They formed Congress so that non-80G-activists get involved in time-pass activists. But despite their best efforts, Congress got taken over real leaders like Lal-bal-pal. So British started paying mediamen to highlight Mohanbhai who had time pass agenda of charkha-spinning, bhajan-singing etc. But Congress workers continued to support Lala Lajpat Rai. So British murdered Lala Lajpat Rai so that Mohanbhai can get more coverage amongst activists. When Mahatma Bhagat Singh gave call for Purna Swaraj and it caught fire across India, Mohanbhai started Dandi Satyagrah to kill the Purna Swaraj movement, and the paid media gave coverage to Mohanbhai so that Purna Swaraj loses focus. IOW, Britishers did use

Now we have 100s of activist leaders in India, such as The Anna, The Team, Subramanian Swamy and many many more. That list also includes myself. And many . My Right to Recall Group is like small kirana store, while The Anna is Walmart of activism and SS is a mid-size firm. Some of us are real, and some of us are time-wasters. I request activists to focus on issues that activist-leaders refuse to take up. Also focus on methods they refuse to take up. And focus on law-proposals they refuse to support. And then decide whether the methods on which the leader is asking you to spend time on are efficient methods or time-pass methods. If you insist on following time-wasters just because mediamen have written nice things about them and created an anti-establishment image, then history will repeat. Please note that activists of 1920s decided to follow Mohanbhai, and as a result freedom got delayed by over 20 years and some 10 lakh died in partition and some 4cr had to flee leaving their wealth back, and we got a useless PM like Jawaharlal Nehru (alias Jawaharlal Dhar alias Jawaharlal Ghazi, as last name of his grandfather is either Nehru or Dhar or Ghazi). We can blame Nehru or Mohanbhai as much as we want, but that doesnt dilute the hard fact that the non-80G-activists back then made grevious error by trusting the paid-media of their days and following time-wasting methods of Mohanbhai. So pls dont repeat same mistake again.
