zcd - the journey yesterday & tomorrow
TRANSCRIPT
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
18th December
WE SET OUT with a dream to build an Honest Nation built on the Honesty of
its citizens. To understand & lead honest lives ourselves & inspire fellow Indians
to do the same. To institute a day called ZERO CORRUPTION DAY.
A day where we pledge to not indulge in any corrupt practice , not limited to bribery alone, & does not even always
involve money. It includes an endless list of practices like ragging & cheating in colleges, Dowry, Piracy,
Passive cit izenship, racial and religious discrimination, irresponsible driving etc.
Carrying forward the spirit of
Mahatma Gandhiji and the
ideals he stood for.
3,500kms 7th April
Kanyakumari to Rajghat, Delhi
WE TRAVELLED across cities, towns & villages, traversing through
states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh.
Experienced INDIA!
MET FELLOW INDIANS;
Farmers,slum dwellers, College students,
village heads, tribals, laborers, working
professionals, elders, Government
servants,
urban &
rural; men
& women.
Walk on! Bangalore Walk on! Pune
Walk on! Kozhikode Walk on! Hyderabad Walk on! Mumbai
WALKED WITH OVER
10,000 FELLOW
INDIANS
WHAT WE’VE LEARNT
Our learning about India & Indians flowed from the innumerable conversations
we had with fellow citizens around their perception of Honesty, Corruption in
India & their role as citizens.
Personal Vs Social – Our actions that build our personal lives also build
our society. Thus reiterating our message that ‘Building an Honest self is a
more meaningful and sustainable way to build an Honest Nation.’
Need for increased Understanding – Views on Corruption are largely
limited to bribery thus creating a need for increased awareness & action.
Existence of Duality –
There are strongly held beliefs
against change & yet there is
a willingness to strive for it if
there is committed leadership
& direction thus creating a
need to shift these beliefs for
empowered action.
LEARNING IN
ACTION..
..THE JOURNEY
AHEAD
STRATEGIC/INTELLECTUAL SUPPORTERS FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS
Our efforts could have easily
gone down as an interesting
effort in an ocean of
experiments if not for the
support demonstrated by
Fellow Indians in owning this
dream.
AND WE EARNESTLY
CALL FOR MORE SUCH
SUPPORT TO HELP SET
OUR ‘INTENTION TO
ACTION’….
INVEST IN A BETTER NATION…
So far, the movement has sustained on the
contributions of Fellow Indians who believed
& owned its Vision as much as we did.
Going further we need to raise funds to the tune
of INR 500,000 to break even.
