SURAJYA
a citizens’ movement
in Andhra Pradesh on March 23rd, 2008 at 4:00pm (speeches start at 5:00pm)
Gymkhana Grounds, SP Road, Secunderabad
on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh
The Swaraj movement sought freedom from colonial rule through non-violence and non-cooperation.
THE SURAJYA MOVEMENT AIMS TO FREE CITIZENS FROM THE CHAINS OF CORRUPT AND DISTORTED RULE
THROUGH THE POWER OF THE VOTE
In the present distorted political culture our hard earned Swaraj has reduced to Swaha-raj where vested interests have overthrown public good.
CHALLENGES FACED BY THE NATION TODAY
- Eliminating the pervasive and monumental corruption from our society and replacing the notoriously kleptocratic governance culture with a truly citizen-centric one
- Establishing a political culture that is free from criminals and political dynasties
- Ensuring equitable access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities to every citizen irrespective of his or her circumstances of birth
- Eliminating societal discrimination based on caste and creed, and providing genuine opportunities for vertical growth to all sections of society
- Ensuring true devolution of power to local governments, and empowerment of citizens
- Ensuring access to speedy and affordable justice to all sections of society and restoring the rule of law
INDIA NEEDS
a credible, just, and equitable society that provides dignity, justice, and opportunities for all.
