It seems quite easy (taking down unpopular governments), but it is
harder in practice, but I believe regimes has to go ultimately if
people demand change. It is easy to change the leaders, but changing
the system to something that works for every one, that is a totally
different ball game all together. I have hopes and I believe we aught
to be participating in making history. I always wondered about young
people in our country, in so many of the revolutions in many countries
students played a huge role in making real change on the ground. At
least in Kerala I feel students are more like a junior wing of
political parties - true for most other states as well. I know I'm
included in that league of young people, so we are doing something
this October 15 to stand along with those young people fighting around
the world. http://piratepad.net/15octpune

I know it is a small step, but I know nothing would change on its own
and we all have a role to play in that. I don't know what exactly to
change, people may say we don't have a concrete demand, but I feel it
is important to stand up now and together seek the change that all of
us want rather than hoping someone else to find out that for us.

And the theme for our meeting is "ഞാന്‍ ഈ ലോകത്ത് എന്തു് മാറ്റം
വരുത്താനാഗ്രഹിയ്ക്കുന്നു".

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
