On January 30th this year, as we remember the Mahatma, let us undertake a One Day Fast. Let us assemble – beyond politics, caste, creed, age, status, the rich and the poor – to say in one voice of prayer and awakening that as a country, we will not allow anyone – especially Global Corporates - to enslave us, poison us and keep us in perpetual control and dependency. Let us redeem the freedom that as a nation we are slowly but surely losing.
