    Right To Information, Act was enacted by long struggle. It is a great weapon for common people to fight against injustice. Without RTI it's very difficult to find out what's cooking where. Attacking a RTI activist is attack on all of us. It needs to be condemned with great voice and sterenst punitive action needed against the culprit.

    RTI activists are like God, fighting for Justice on Social issues. If they are not there our country would have been swollowed by the devilish people. Attacking them is a devilish act. Sterenst action needs to be taken on the culprits.

    Gurka Mangalore as you said even if someone make it reality to ban the privilages to Christians ,christians will not be afraid and live their life as usually.We are not depending on Govt.Privilages ,and know to live since years .Instead what if we stop the education facilities ,medical facilities .other social facilities other than christians ?Would he be able to give the poor ones the needed help?as till now was extended?One should not take mouth too full.May get stuck in ,and will be in difficult situation.We should live as a community all together without making differences.we had really a good functioning community till 2014.Noone spoke of Muslims, religions ,differences,and conversions .

    Many of these bhakths and their masters want to mix hindutvadi with Indian culture. These are 2 different and seperate things. I can be a Muslim or a Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, Parsi, Bahai and still practice Indian culture, just like how Hindus can practice western culture. Indian culture does NOT belong to Hindutvadis and must stop hijacking Indian culture. This is how the chaddis play their game of false ownership.

    In whatever country if RTI activist’s voice is silenced or murdered then there is no development or prosperity in that state and it happens only by blessing of the govt. That state is doomed
