Bay area NRI absentee Voting Drive - update

On oct 31st 2010, Halloween day, several NRIs from different states gathered for discussion forum about NRI voting rights and discussed how to send message to the Government of India. There were speeches, discussion and interaction with Mr. Naen Bhakshi followed by mass signature from all the participants. Naren Bhakshi recollected how he had been living two lives over decades, Indian and American and expressed strong support for the cause. He also gave valuable suggestions to take the movement forward.
