Very well reasoned and spoken most sensitively, Sire.
Nothing works or stays afloat, w/o any funding. It comes to me as a rude "shock" in a sense, that, one cannot make a humble contribution, locally, if each email costs the kind of amount, you have pointed out.
i must remain beholden to the ones in the US, who have been making their contributions to your (and that is our) "kharchas" !
With respects, warm regards and Peace.

Dear Mr Gaur, Dr Taneja etc.
You and other members certainly deserve an explanation.
1) We have about 25,000 subscribers on this list. It costs about Rs. 6
per 1,000 emails sent. So each time an email is sent from this list,
it costs Rs. 150. and 20 emails per day means Rs. 3,000.
2) IAC has not being paying for this, it is eventually paid for by a
group of very dedicated and honest people in USA who run the Riseup
collective for groups like us. They pay for it out of their own pocket
or from donations. Most of their mailing lists are between 50 to 500
people. Our list is a real strain to them. So we took the decision
internally to cut back on emails. There is no such thing as "free
speech". We considered various other options such as GMAIL, Yahoo
groups etc but they all had dangers and involved too much work to
transfer.
Suggestions on this are welcome.
3) IAC had taken a very conscious decision not to take money or
donations. We had to do this or every Tom Dick Harry would be claiming
to be IAC and raising funds. Our approach has certainly affected
spreading IAC's name PUBLICLY (in hindsight this was a blessing).
4) We took a conscious decision to grow the grass roots in last 1
year. You will soon see local agitations who are disillusioned with
all parties suddenly remembering IAC and what ORIGINAL IAC stood
for.:-)
5) We have also been reclaiming back IAC assets and issuing legals
threats and notices to vigorously defend our assets. We have appointed
2 advocates to take care of litigation for this.
6) Our doubt is not only with AAP or AK, it is genuinely against ALL
political parties and the political process. This makes it very
difficult for IAC to work with most other NGOs or groups.
7) To understand IAC's "silence" on AAP and AK, you will have to read
the last paras of IAC manifesto. IAC views AAP as phase-2 whereas IAC
(by whatever name) will be phase -3 when it happens.
8) The one thing I can assure you of is that we are open and fluid and
like to maintain communication with our members.
