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!

The first challenge was Envirofit’s goal in India, which is to prevent the deaths of the 500,000 people, mostly women and children, who die there annually from IAP. Their target market is BoP’s (“base of the pyramid”, which are households earning $2-$7 per day) and their solution is
Maitri needs to focus on the cultivating relationships with their current donors. Maitri should ask donors if they would be capable of taking on more responsibility.3 Currently, select donors have a hand in bringing in potential donors through the dinners at Maitri. However, the potential donors may only come to those dinners and submit donations out of obligation to their friend/colleague, the Maitri donor sponsoring the dinner. Maitri donors can do more; perhaps assist outside of a fundraising capacity. They can head up a special project or assist in day-to-day operations. These donors may have their own particular skill sets that may prove to be invaluable to Maitri.4 Not only is stewardship of current donors less costly than seeking new prospects, but it also opens up communication for discussing Maitri’s community
When everyone is influenced by different people, they will all have different mindsets and personalities, which results in individualism. Mustapha Mond proclaimed, ”The greatest care is taken to prevent you from loving any one too much,” (pg. 161). The strong emotional tie associated with family disrupts the productivity of an individual which threatens the stability of society. Family issues such as divorce or death of a loved one negatively impacts the quality of work one produces because instead of focusing on the assignment, the person is focusing on their family. On the other hand, modern society views “the family was the most important unit of society…It played an essential role in fulfilling the emotional and physical needs of individuals, which was necessary for the achievement of economic and social development,” (www.un.org). Modern society believes that families are essential to support one another in a difficult situation. When

Family A Family is important to any person because family is a universal institution and a close unit of persons emotionally attached to each other in a way that the problem of one affects all. The family unit becomes stronger especially in times of sorrow and pain like death, disease, ailment, loss and casualty. They bring the loved ones together to share with each other. A family is important because one may be unable to make decisions yourself if he/she is incapacitated in some way, such as being unconscious. The family unit is very important to someone’s development, growth and healthy upbringing. Much of what someone learns is through his/her family or guardian. Family is considered as the main and strong unit of the society and community. Its strength will ensure the strength of the nation. The mechanics and the implementation of support systems for families today are important. That are concerned with families to locate and implement support systems that can reduce and prevent family stresses and that help parents to learn coping mechanisms to face a more optimal future.

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...
