Small Change

www.smallchange.in

Clicking on the above link will take you to a PIL floated by Vishal Dadlani against a new proposed statue of Chattrapati Shivaji in Bombay costing about 350 crores. Even if you aren't from around here, you should go sign it to prevent the excesses of politicians all over this country. You are allowed to write a short note to put in your two cents. Here is mine.

"Dear Politicians,
Every time you think to yourselves, I think another big fat statue of a dead person will do this country some good, think of the hundreds of million of our country men and women who still live below the poverty line, of the tens of millions of students who are unable to attend school or college and the nearly half a billion women in this country who still receive second class citizen treatment, regardless of what station of society they belong to. And then think to yourself, how big of a JACKASS do I have to be do what I am thinking of doing."
