Dear Friends, (please read this mail with sincerity)
 
Dear Dr. Ravi Kant Pathak Ji, being constructive to BM as honest well-wisher I want to write this mail, I am writing mail on BM issues after a long time. I am always a very open minded towards Social Solution. I was never destructive to BM, but I opposed your internal ego of understanding. You read books a lot, I also did and still I do it. But today I am not going to discuss it. Now I have met you, I have listen your speeches, I have attended a meet led by you, you were active in national meet and I was non-active, I was just an observer.
If you do not mind, I want to say some hard things just for improvements. I am going to talk on last one year. I think, I am silent observer in BM for about last one year. I hope, you agree with me.
Dear Amritesh Ji, you can also respond this mail. If your mail will not be very scientific philosophical heavy bookish words, I will not delete without reading that. 
 
Now, from here this mail is a GENERAL mail, I mean I am talking to persons of BM (as I can send this mail by using my personal contact list for BM organization) including. But very first I want to say that my intuitions are pure for your health and improvements. Please do not react in any bad manner to me after this mail. I hope honest BM members will keep my request.
Thanks to Brothers Krishanu, Aman and others who motivated me to write this mail for BM.
 
I do not know that why Delhi BM Members decided to start a new unmoderated group called as General Body, I am not going to initiate any discussion on the reasons. Under any reason, they initiated a good thing. I want to appreciate them. Actually BM lacks with real understanding and social-maturity, including BM Delhi members.
 
Because it will be easy to me to have a talk by addressing a person (it will not be a speech, it will be a personal talk thus I will feel easiness to express myself), I would like to write my mail by addressing my brother Ravi Kant Pathak (he is general secretary also, in my view he did a blunder mistake, if he will be honest above than his individual things, he will also feel it).
 
Dear Brother Ravi Kant,
after meeting you, and by observing your some actions and decisions, I got you that may be you have ZEAL to work something but you do not understand GANDHI properly, you are not mature and you do not understand Indian society with your own natural and fundamental understandings. and this is true for other BM members also. Still I do not know that, why you took oath in English, I am not in favour of Hindi, but because in India, majority of common people understand Hindi and use Hindi thus Hindi should be used as First Language. I will welcome regional languages as Kannada, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi etc, but if these are being used without reaction to Hindi. In India more than 70 percent people understand Hindi. May be Hindi can not be understood by about 30 percent of our population, but English can not be understood by more than 95 percent of our population in India. BM meetings are not DJ Dance programmes and thus BM meetings do not require any VJ. BM thinks that by Cheap Popularity Activities, it can get big primary space in masses and then in second step Cheap Things can be converted in Non-Cheap things. But it will not possible.
I could not understand why BM needs Shiv Khera. Few years ago I studied his one book JEET APKI, I got he is just a marketer. What is his status in Indian Masses? Nothing. What has been he working for masses? I do not know, why I was raped crucially in BM meet by attending Shiv Khera session? In my view, it was just Cheap Stunt for Cheap Popularity in Metro Cities youths. May be because BM does not have trust in real ground works thus it can give respect to persons as like Shiv Khera.
 
Our society needs most sincere and dedicated efforts for real social solution. Freedom struggle for Independence was different thing than constructive struggle for social solution. Freedom Struggle was against British Rule, Britishers was outsiders. But now we are with our own family, we are not struggling with outsiders. We should understand this with depth. We can not remove our brothers/ sisters from us even they are wrong or exploiting whole country, but we could threw out British. Our society needs a Constructive Approach for Social Solution by having Total Accountability towards last society (more than 60 percent of our population). 
 
Because BM and its members have no real understanding and do not have deep commitment for social solution thus in last two years BM was moved backward not forward. BM is making same mistakes, what our Eminent National Leaders did just after independence. BM is just following same path as our leaders did after independence because BM has not practical understanding or experiences. BM members are bookish and of-course they are not very committed to understand or study lots of valuable books also, thus I do not know, in which status I should put BM members in the matter of understanding. BM members always speak to me that slowly-slowly they will become mature in real understanding, but I can bet that they will not get real ground understanding or they will not be natural thinkers. Why?- because they are moving to become common people. Every member is member of BM, they are putting their legs first time towards society as member of BM. Then from where and how they will get experiences and understanding of real ground as a very Common Member of Common Society?
 
Because they are not coming from social ground then their first commitment will be with BM not with society (please think this with depth). Our leaders established SANVIDHAN SABHA to make Constitution and BM made its Constitution Council in same pattern. Our national leaders did blunder mistakes that they did not initiated Open Mass Discussion with larger mass of our country. They made Constitution by copying many other Constitutions. Same BM made its Constitution by bookish and virtual understandings. Any Constitution for social mass should be generated by larger masses slowly-slowly. Constitution should not have been made by Representatives, it should have been made directly by Larger Masses of Society. But it is rare to become above than Political Power Enjoy by the humans. If anywhere any centralized power system is going on this means that persons are pretending to be honest but in reality they are not honest. Still I do not know, from where in BM, Chapter and National Council type non-social cultures were initiated. I studied BM constitution first time in Gwalior Meet in hard copy, it was a mixture of many things. May be it is natural or new to those members who never did self-study but I studied multi thousands of books in my life in various social, mass issues. How a Constitution for mass can be made without real ground social understanding and experiences, it is beyond of my limit of thinking? I could not understand why Dr Prahlathan was representing for Constitution Council, even he can not understand the language of larger mass? Constitution for mass or society can not be made by having university degrees of Doctorates/ Post-Doctorates on Constitutions or on Parliamentary Affairs etc. 
 
I saw various presentations of various chapters of BM, I can not understand that out of Cheap Popularity, what can be achieved by Pulse Polio, Petrol Savings, Street Cleanings, So-called shows of Tree Plantations etc, please do not mind but these all works just Picnic works not more than this. Now BM is some years old and it is moving backward not moving forward.
I can not understand why BM needs any level of council? Why BM is interested to create various centralized Power Centers? Because BM's Constitution Council had no practical social ground experiences thus they made Council Systems by manipulating old Communist System for Party. They followed the things of few decades ago, they could not modify it in favour of common society because they have no real ground understandings and they do not trust that common people, common society have most maturity of life and most real understandings of social solutions.
I get lots of farsighted visionlessness in BM constitution council and also in BM. I think, BM does not understand the real meaning of Representation. Because larger mass can not sit together in various issues together daily thus they choose their representatives. But when larger mass is sitting then there no any meaning of Representation. But in BM, larger mass is not supreme authority, various levels councils are supreme authority (by this point, any serious person can understand the understanding level of members of BM Constitution Council). BM lacks flexibility in its own structure. BM lacks real coordination with real ground forces of larger masses.
 
Ravi Kant came India for few months and he became General Secretary of BM, still I do not know under which Social, Individual or Moral Values and honesty, he did this (he is talking a lot on various Values). He wears DHOTI as like Gandhi but he speaks English in front of mass, I do not know but he wants to become Gandhi by wearing prescribed cloths or by starting some rough works in any village without any long term accountability or commitment. 
 
Still after few years, in BM national meet there was no common youth of common society. I do not know what BM wants to represent. I think BM should restart from ZERO state towards last society. Otherwise, it will be as like other common political parties by having highly philosophical values in papers, documents out of ground reality. Or, it will be a common NGO, who will work for Pulse Polio, Street Cleanings, Petrol Savings, Organic Farming etc. 
 
I was surprised in BM Gwalior Meet by seeing the too much mechanical systems in BM under various paper definitions of membership, supporter ship etc. I think, membership or supporter ship etc should be depend on Commitment towards society because BM can not be bigger than society. To attend Chapter's Meetings, to give some Rs to Chapters can not be grounds of membership only because it was defined by a very small body as Constitution Council. It is ridiculous and insult of socially dedicated persons. Think about it.
 
Ravi Kant Bhai, if you think that you need some serious non-formal discussions with me, I invite you to live with me for one or two weeks. But if you want to come before your departure to your country USA, please come without any internal ego, without heavy philosophical words, come with easy way. I think, we should have some mutual understanding for our last society.
 
By having various chapters, BM can not become national organization.
I HAVE FEVER, I WILL BE CONTINUED IF IT WILL BE FRUITFUL.
love
Vivek
