India’s Information Law in Peril, Says Magsasay Winner
By RICHARD SPRINGER

India-West Staff Reporter

PALO ALTO, Calif. — India’s Right to Information Act has “transformed the lives” of many the victimized in India, but it is being threatened at the appellate level, according to Magsasay Award winner Arvind Kejriwal, the keynote speaker at the 11th annual Recognition Dinner of Indians for Collective Action.

Kejriwal is the founder of non-governmental organization Parivartan, a Delhi-based citizens movement that fought for passage of freedom of information laws at federal and state levels and continues to seek increased transparency in government.

On Thursday October 20th, Arvind Kejriwal spoke at an event convened by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Association for Indian Development on the effects of the new national Right to Information law recently enacted in India, similar to the United States' Freedom of Information Act. Arvind Kejriwal worked in the Indian Revenue Service for a number of years in the 1990s, and from that experience became determined to work to end corruption through greater government transparency. He founded Parivartan - a Delhi based citizens? movement trying to ensure a just, transparent and accountable governance- in 2000, and worked in the campaign for the national right to information law that was enacted in October 2005.
