- IsaacL 11y agoAny Indian HN users have any more info?
- thewhitetulip 11y agowhat they do is, they have formed groups and they go to some public place which is littered with garbage and clean it first, then they beautify the place.

- swagv 11y agoThat's brilliant, really. A beautification movement. You don't have to be wealthy to have clean streets, manicured gardens, etc. It starts with a lack of tolerance for substandard conditions.
- hackaflocka 11y agoAbsolutely right. There are many cultures where despite poverty, public areas are well organized and clean. Inner city USA and much of India, sadly, are not so.
- nikolay 11y agoThis is so cool! You guys are setting a great example and doing an amazing job! Kudos to you!

- rathish_g 11y agoThey have chosen to remain anonymous as the names and identities of specific individuals are not important. Their philosophy: "Kaam chalu mooh bandh". (Stop Talking, Start Doing.) Their guidelines are: 1. No lectures, no moralising, no activism, no self-righteous anger. 2. No confrontation, no arguments, no debates, no pamphlets, no advocacy. 3. Don’t step on anyone’s toes, don’t take sides in any ideological debates., 4. Support existing systems and improve their effectiveness for the greater good. 5. Basically, get real. Treat everyone with sincerity, respect and dignity first, and the greater good will be an outcome.
- _nedR 11y agoWow. That is one of the most insanely good manifestos I have read.
- adultSwim 11y agoI should take notes. My city is dirty and I am ashamed.
