In a few days the beta phase (ie. trial period) of this new
development of the HumJanenge group will be complete. We are now
approaching the first milestone in this group where 2,500 active and
RTI aware citizens with properly functioning email Id's have achieved
membership of this group. In time this will definitely be among
India's largest and most powerful RTI email lists, founded and managed
by citizens with considerable experience in RTI Act, running RTI
e-groups and who are steeped deeply in HJ's former (but alas now
forgotten) civilised fighting culture.
There has been considerable speculation about the identities and
motives of the owners / moderators of this group. Specifically there
have been allegations made that "we" are
a) people out to destroy the RTI movement,
b) people out to disturb the established RTI groups,
c) people in collaboration with Information Commissioners,
d) people who create fake email Ids
e people who have stolen humjanenges's identity without any right to
it, etc etc..
I, on behalf of the HJ team, can firmly deny all these allegations.
They have been made by vested interests opposed to the RTI movement
and/or by persons not fully aware of the complete facts. All these
motivated allegations shall be answered in the right place and at the
right time, if so needed to be.
This mailing list / google group are in themselves not enough to
achieve the change that is needed to be achieved. Google does not have
many features which Yahoo had (and vice-versa). To supplement these,
we have opened (yesterday) our own HJ website. It will give us
additional features like polls, forum, chat, RTI decision database,
photo gallery, news post area, sms, tweets, etc.etc. which are not as
intrusive as emails are for those few members who are interested in
such features.
This is the link to it, but the website is not our primary focus, this
mailing list is.

Best wishes, and once again our sincere apologies to everyone who was
offended / hurt during our beta phase.
