Foreward...

There wasn't anything written down about members of UAgg participating in politics. My understanding was that we agreed not to run for elected positions for two months as a condition of our citizenship approval. That said, we were welcome to become members of parties and become politically active in other ways, provided it was in the best interests of the country.

My efforts in this article are made in the spirit of that understanding.



On my membership in India United...

I conducted a small, private Q&A with each of the party presidents last month, and India United's HemanathanKumar impressed me the most with his candid responses, volunteering some of the warts on the face of his party, and speaking genuinely about what the party was about and its proud history. I have decided to join India United and try to maintain that pride in party politics.

I have found that some people enjoy being lazy in the party, and that is fine, not everyone has time nor in-game wealth to do things. For those that do, I am leading a small project for the party that will benefit of all eIndia.



On India United's Writing Contest...



I invite you all to participate in a writing contest sponsored by India United.

The contest is restricted to players with eIndian citizenship.

To qualify as an entry in the contest, the article must be tagged with [IUWC] in the title.

The IUWC Committee will judge the articles, members of the committee cannot enter the contest. The committee is comprised of Dinesh Raju, ShockWavve and myself. I am the Chair of the committee. Judging will be based on:

Denouement

I hope this project enriches the media over the next ten days.

India United hopes that this contest raises the profile of our party's interest in eIndia becoming the best it can be and realizing its potential.

I look forward to what eIndians are excited about in the future.

Who's your daddy?

Addy's your daddy!!!
