Standing, L-R: Vinay Tomar (NSUI), Raheel Dhattiwala (Open Space Ahmedabad), Revanta Sarabhai (artist), Swar Shah (RFG-India); Seated, L-R: Pankaj Shukla (ABVP), Kanan Dhru (RFG-India), Sebastian Morris (IIM-A), Kelly Dhru (RFG-India)
Open Space Ahmedabad collaborated with Research Foundation for Governance in India (Team members: Kanan Dhru, Kelly Dhru, Swar Shah) in organising a discussion-interaction on 'Governance in India: Have the youth become indifferent to politics?'
For OS-A the idea was to screen the vox pop films on democracy and elections made in March 2009 (see Youtube links: Democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_dZMAYXdes ; Will you vote?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5LJl2CIbTc ; Chief Minister for a day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW_MiHJJXbg) for a larger section of Ahmedabad people. Because Open Space believes in platforms that give freedom to people with left-, centre- and right-wing ideologies to express themselves, we invited young representatives supporting the Congress, the BJP and independent candidates contesting the Lok Sabha polls of 2009.
We had in the audience young role-models from different communities and professions to initiate the interaction, namely Gazala Ahmed (fashion entrepreneur), Hozefa Ujjaini (Coordinator of human rights youth group Aman Samuday), Ranjit Gohil (disabled rights activist and entrepreneur), Ankit Chona (entrepreneur, Havmor Foods), Parag Patel (academician), among others. Prof. Sebastian Morris of IIM-Ahmedabad moderated the session with Prof. Dileep Mavalankar, also from IIM-A.
