I was a little surprised when just a day after I posted my last blog on a voter's dilemma, I came across this website - http://www.freedomteam.in/.
Why I was surprised was becasue FTI ( Freedom team of India) popped up in front of me as an answer to all the innumerable questions I have been raising across different forums time and again. Once I visited their website to understand their ideology and where it came from I felt like being a part of this Freedom Team. Started by a set of committed people FTI's mission is to provide a co-ordinated platform, to ordinary, educated and motivated idividuals to contest elections in this country and usher in the change we all have been talking about, hoping, waiting and even praying for.
The Freedom team wants you and me to be the change. They challenge us to change the image of politics by coming forward. By giving up our cushy seats as spectators and entering the ring to fight!
What, I personally feel sets FTI apart from other similar initiatives is that it comes across as a honest effort to bring in the change we so desperately need, not just in the kind of governance we have today and people who govern us, but also in the policies and statutes, many of which have become redundent in the present times.
Also, I feel it is initiatives like these that need our honest support, for they are the small ray of hope in times such these, where we are forced to go backward in the name of religion, culture etc.

With the right kind of support and some great young minds who can lead, it gives me hope that maybe just maybe my tomorrow in this country would not be as bleak and scary as my today. Maybe, my children will be able to grow up in an India they can be proud of, maybe we will not be required to carry a tag on ourselves proclaiming our beliefs to be part of a group. Just maybe, I might be around to usher in a future, where everyone will have the equal right and opportunity to grow and prosper in this country.
I am not sure as an individual with several demands on my time how I will supprot FTI and be part of this process. But I am very sure of one thing, if there is an honest effort to bring in change I want to be a part of it.
