[cr-india] The elections...

[Frederick Noronha (FN)]

Wonder how the electoral developments could impact the fate of community 
radio in India. If anything, the security-conscious BJP was overtly 
cautious, and the United Front government almost approved the idea in the 
mid-nineties. Wonder how the Congress will respond to the developmental 
potential of this tool.

Does anyone know of MPs who might be favourably disposed to take up this 
issue? Madhusudan Mistry <madhusudan at sansad.nic.in> was earlier involved 
with the world of NGOs. Wonder who might be willing to take up this issue 
to 'open up a new voice to the people on the airwaves'. FN
