If you know of any citizen meetings or gatherings that are being held in Mumbai or elsewhere, please inform us for broader circulation.
Do also suggest how such an occasion can be converted into something long-lasting
e.g. forming a Local Group that can be available for interactions with local government officials over a wide range of issues as envisioned in http://www.karmayog.com/lacg/lacgindex.htm
We are witnessing a lack of leadership from elected or appointed public representatives, bureaucrats, spiritual leaders, etc. Leadership will thus need to evolve from civil society itself. And each of us has to play a role.
