Maha Rally: Calling for volunteers

Please do go through the planning for Maha Rally below, and send me(mail us separately at maharally@gmail.com : maharally (at) gmail (dot) com) your contact details for joining in as a volunteer.

Maha Rally brief plan: 

1) Reaching out to media and hence public: Conduct as many awareness events along the rally route(http://bit.ly/routerally), where ever SIF members can organise a) A public meeting b) Press Meet c) Awareness rally(any vehicle, around the town for some distance), or some similar event which will get reported in the media(getting the media's attention is the important part here, since published news means automatic reach to public, so any event which is designed and executed to get media's involvement is ok).

2) Consolidation of reformist NGOs/groups: To coordinate with other reform oriented groups who work for positive change, ie. any change which will improve the way we all live(eg. Human rights, energy/environmental conservation, local area empowerment, organised youth groups, groups for facilitating good governance, judicial reform groups, political reform groups, senior citizen forums, NRI forums, Pensioner's forums, etc etc). 

This is for creating a database of groups/forums which work towards positive change in India, so that we can later try and organise all these NGOs/Voluntary organisations and collectively bargain for our issues, create and project a formidable vote bank, etc, which is sure to get attention of major political parties and we collectively (rather than fighting for separate rights/demands in different corners of India, with limited 'active'/committed members) will then have a better chance to get our demands met.  

3) Reaching out to the youth: Liaison with educational institutions, making them aware of what awaits them in future, about anti-male laws and attitudes, etc., so that they too start working against threats which will affect them in their near future. 

College's and University's student bodies need to be contacted to make them aware of what the rally is about and how they could contribute and participate, among all the groups we can get in touch with, students will be the most closely knit group, and hence we need to focus our attention very tightly on educational institutions.. since the more organised and united they are, the stronger their bargaining power is!. Another reason why educational institutions should be focused is because we need to reverse the feminazi indoctrination there, since feminasies too know how important it is to catch them young, they have been reinforcing their arguments(which are untrue and made with ill motives) in each and every student who passes through our educational system- it's time that we reverse this negative spin!.

In brief this Rally is an attempt to consolidate strengths of good/suitable groups/individuals, organise and then collectively bargain and ensure that power comes back to the People. 

This rally could be as big as we make it to be, we all have a big example in the Dandi march, which started out as small, we too can expect this Maha Rally to snowball into a huge movement, by the end of its proposed 55 day duration, across 4000 kilometers(the core riders will be on cycles, there are 3 riders including me, who are presently committed to ride the full length. Other short distance rallyists can join in for any distance in any vehicle, along the rally's route).

There are many other things which can happen during this rally, which can be planned out. Do let me know your impressions about this and your suggestions, if any. 

Do reply with your contact details for volunteering for Maha Rally(mail us separately at maharally@gmail.com : maharally (at) gmail (dot) com), and send in your opinion/suggestions about the Maha Rally plans.

National Litigant Bench(NLB) launch: Press release, August 15, 2010

Press Release

Sub: AlMWA attending 3^rd National Conference of Family Rights Organizations

in Yercaud & Launching NATIONAL LITIGANT BENCH (NLB) on 15 Aug 2010.

All India Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA) is an organization whose main objectives are:

• To connect with men and boys across India and understand their needs and concerns.
• To address issues concerning men and boys, with the specific objective of providing them protection against gender discrimination, domestic violence, emotional castration, negative stereotyping, sexual harassment, legal terrorism and every other form of abuse.
• To build a powerful broad based lobby for the welfare of men and boys.

Since its inception on 11 October 2009, AIMWA has been working towards providing protection for men and boys against gender discrimination, domestic violence, sexual harassment and other forms of abuse. The organization has also been working on related issues like physical and mental health of men, and the need for social changes, policy reforms and legal solutions to men’s problems.

Members of AIMWA are attending the 3^rd National Conference of Family Rights Organizations in Yercaud to present our research and analysis on issues related to men within and outside the family, to discuss our ongoing work, and to point out future directions for NGOs working in the areas of men’s health and welfare.

On the occasion of Independence Day 2010, members of AIMWA are launching the NATIONAL LITIGANT BENCH – a self-help group comprising citizens fighting for freedom from delays, corruption, maladministration, injustice and lack of accountability in the Indian judicial system.

Although India attained freedom from British rule in 1947, the Indian judicial system wreaks of imperialism, corruption and anti-citizen attitudes of the British times, due to which a common man considers entering an Indian court as the worst misfortune of his life.

While the worst sufferers of the Indian judicial system are men, judicial delays, corruption and maladministration have also taken a big toll on women, children and families.

During its many encounters with litigants all over the country, AIMWA found that citizens of India have lost faith in our dysfunctional judicial system as it encourages hardened criminals to commit crime in broad daylight, penalizes law-abiding citizens, and turns ordinary men into criminals.

The National Litigant Bench (NLB) is the first forum of its kind calling for litigants across the country to come together and collectively fight for freedom from judicial delays, corruption, maladministration, injustice and lack of accountability.

On the occasion of Independence Day 2010, we are launching three All India Helplines: 9704683163, 9840324551 and 9620439797. We will introduce more helplines and local chapters in the near future.

We invite all citizens who share our vision of a corruption-free, people friendly, accountable, speedy justice system to join us in our efforts.
