This draft document is work-in-progress

In order to foster collaboration and coalition building across all existing groups of concerned people, the Freedom Team has certain basic principles of flexibility at this stage.

• No document on the Freedom Team is final at this stage. These documents will be finalised only after all formalities are completed, such as a formal meeting of 1500 members who are ready to roll out a formal plan for contesting elections. Therefore all incoming participants get an equal chance to consider and comment on these draft documents.

• No member of the Freedom Team has invested so much ego into this effort that he or she cannot assimilate with other efforts/ engage with them. Members are agreed that the Freedom Team is not the last word in India’s development! Second, nothing on this team is for the glory or aggrandisement of any individual; it is exclusively about India. Hence no option for future action is precluded. For instance, the Team could merge into other groups; other groups could merge into it; everyone could merge into something else; everyone could go alone and cooperate on key issues.

• The Freedom Team does not claim that it has the only key to the problem – every potential member will be heard patiently and carefully.

• Every person interested in India’s future is requested to give this effort a fair hearing and not reject it outright.
