Less than a fortnight ago, a whole nation was paralyzed by 10 armed maniacs running loose in the city of Mumbai. And for the first time in many years most of us did not ask what the country can do for us but asked what we can do for the nation. People marched for peace, marched in protest, wrote blog posts - most educated people expressed willingness to do something about it. A small group of bloggers but 'with huge levels of motivation...initiated a movement to publicize the voice of the citizen.' And the "Rebuild India' mission was born. As a first step, bloggers were invited to sublimate their anger into positive action by listing out action points that need to be taken in order to get the nation back on track post the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Based on suggestions received, an online survey with 17 simple questions has been formulated which is currently open to all for participation:
Survey Details
The motive behind conducting this survey is to get the suggestions presented by bloggers, certified by general internet users. (For further details on the 'Rebuild India' plan of action, please click here). The survey comprises of 17 questions, which would hardly take around a couple of minutes to respond to. However, since the survey consists of proposed actions steps as options, it is advisable to ponder over each and every option mentioned in order to gain valuable perspective on where the nation stands at this point of time. If done with the focus and attention, the survey in itself would prove to be a huge learning curve with respect to where the nation stands as of now.

Usha-
This is helpful to know. Thanks for spreading the word.
This is a wonderful initiative. I have participated and will let my friends and family know too.
I just have one thing to say when I read the headlines in the press and see the live coverage in the media on these terror attacks - we Mumbaikars and the nation as a whole have become numb to these atrocities... My heart goes out to the innocent victims of this senseless violence. In the largest democracy, we are so inept that we cannot elect politicians who are less regional and more Indian, who put the country and its people before their individual gain. How many times will we hearr, after every terror strike, that the Center and the State had prior information on the attacks but did NOTHING about it... it is a shameful that the terrorists who attacked our parliament and were caught and convicted to the death sentence by the highest court in the country are still alive just because the politicians want to appease a certain community. One can just hope and pray that good sense prevails and we wake up to realise that enough is enough!
Nice Initiative!!!

Thanks. I have responded, though they have officially closed participation.
What I observe now is the sense of 'unity' displayed by all the citizens. I hope this unity would sustain and that politicians would not put in efforts to divide people, to gain political advantage.
Will take a look. Thanks for passing it on. I too see a difference, nonetheless there is a lot of public awareness and people talking about rights. India definitely is changing, i guess a little more time and the right people, we will be close to developed countries.
An award is waiting for you in my blog!
Sent out a mail with the details. Love your writing. Have linked you on my blogroll and hopefully shall pop in to leave comments when I find time. Keep going!
