AAM ADMI PARTY: A Revolution in the Politics of India.
Arvind Kejriwal is an Indian social activist and a politician. Kejriwal is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where he studied Mechanical Engineering. He is a former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer and former Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department. He is well-known for his role in drafting a proposed Jan Lokpal Bill and his efforts to bring and implement the Right to Information (RTI) act at the grassroot level.
Kejriwal won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006 for his contribution to the enactment of the Right to Information Act and for his efforts to empower the poorest citizens of India. In 2006, after resigning from the IRS, he donated his Magsaysay award money as a corpus fund to found an NGO, Public Cause Research Foundation. In 2012, he launched the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The Aam Admi party completed a year on 26 December 2013. With the election on 4th January 2013 Delhi is burning in political fire. Who will win this time? Would it be the experienced BJP and CONGRESS or the revolutionary AAP candidates? The fate is resting in the hands of the Indian voters!
The political buzz is in the Delhi air supreme with campaigning at its zenith. Let some interviews with the Aam Admi party volunteers give you the feel.

1) What is your motivation to join Aam Admi Party?
The idea of “Swaraj” just struck me. I think the flaw doesn’t lie in corruption, it is in us. I idealise Arvind Kejriwal. His clear vision, honesty touched me. Arvind has a magic in him. He has a potential to establ...

...mportant. At some point of time family is important; at some point of time your job is more important; sometime your health is more important and similarly your society is equally important.
Because if any one of these falls out you are definitely going to be in trouble as an individual or as a community. So it is important to take out time for your society so that things work out as planned. If an engineer you don’t get a good enough job in your country it is certainly going to impact you and your family .So we should do something about it rather than just hoping someone would do something about it. I just want people takeout some time and do something like just sharing status on Facebook or standing outside the metro station campaigning even fighting elections it’s up to the motivation of the person. But they must do something about it otherwise nobody else will!

Donald Grinde is the author of The Iroquois and the Founding of the American Nation, one of the earliest books to argue for an Indian influence on the formation of the American democracy. Since Grinde’s publication and Bruce Johansen’s a year later, there has been a great deal of debate over this issue. Many of the most prominent opponents of the influence thesis have failed to distinguish between the arguments of more extreme authors, such as Gregory Schaaf, who claim that the Iroquois Gayanashagowa was copied by the U.S. Constitution, and those with a more moderate stance, like Johansen and Grinde, who simply point to a clear influence (Johansen, 1998). This paper intends to argue along the lines of these latter authors. Our founding fathers did not copy the Gayanashagowa or Great Law of Peace, but our Constitution was written with reflection upon the Iroquoian government with the goal of synthesizing this model into a form that could satisfy the needs of the American people. Given the evidence presented by Grinde and Johansen, it is clear that Native Americans influenced early U. S. political minds—if not directly, then at least indirectly.
"Priorities" is a word that gets forgotten far too often. It's part of a national phenomenon, really. Americans boast about their way of life. We crow about our standard of living. We puff out our chests about being the world's last superpower. We try to force our way of life on others. If they just lived like us, we think, they wouldn't have the problems they do.

Mohandas Gandhi began life as the fourth son in his family— hardly the child typically expected to bring about greatness, even though his father was the small state’s Diwan, or prime minister. He was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, India. From an early age, he exhibited the gentleness and compassion that he would come to cherish later in life. One story about him says that he loved nature enough to climb a mango tree and bandage its branch. Like the vast majority of Indian families, Gandhi’s was a member of the Hindu religion and its associated culture. As was tradition for many at the time, he was wed at the age of thirteen to Kasturba, another child of the same age. A few years later, when he was sixteen, Gandhi’s father passed away. This left a deep impression on the boy, and he would always remember him with fondness, as we can see from his later ...

The Congress was the single-most dominant party in the state of Uttar Pradesh after independence. In the first Lok Sabha elections, the Indian National Congress (INC) won by a huge margin. The INC won 364 seats out of the available 489 to form the government at the Centre. In Uttar Pradesh alone, Congress won 81 out of the available 85 seats. Also, winning 388 seats in the first legislative elections of the state shows their dominance during that era. One can understand their dominance by simply comparing the second-largest party in the state. Socialist party was the second- largest party with just 20 seats. So the INC got 19.4 times the seats the Socialist party won.

In the 21st century, where material objects have more value in our lives, any selfless efforts made are very rare encounters. A living legend and inspiration for others, Abdul Sattar Edhi has made it his life mission to serve the needs of the less fortunate of Pakistan. Edhi has created the well known organization called The Edhi Foundation, which strives to help the less fortunate in Pakistan with services such as baby cradles, burial aid for the many unclaimed bodies, and most importantly running Pakistan’s largest ambulance service.
The first value I chose is family. Merriam-Webster defines the word family as, "a group of people who are related to each other”. However, to me personally, I feel that family is way more than just your relatives. Family has been a huge influence in why I’m in college today and has taught me right from wrong. Family is so important to me because they thought me how to build relationships with other people, how to love, how to get, always have my back no matter what, and know me the so well. Merriam-Webster defines the word health as, “the condition of being well or free from disease”. Health is very more important to me because I want to live a longer life and it helps me become more energetic when carrying out home/work tasks. Merriam-Webster defines the word knowledge as “information, understanding, or skill that you get from experience”. Knowledge is significant to me because it helps me have a better understanding of the world and how things works. Without knowledge, we as a society could not accomplish much in life. Knowledge is a key factor in every field because it helps us humans make ethical decisions. Merriam-Webster defines the word happiness as “the state of being happy”. I believe Happiness makes life seem si...
