Dear Council,

Greetings from Manjunath Shanmugam Trust!

The Manjunath Shanmugam Trust is an international pan-IIM alumni
initiative that works to improve governance in Indian public life. The
trust was instituted in the memory of Manjunath Shanmugam, an alumnus
of IIM Lucknow, who sacrificed his life while carrying out his
professional duty as an honest individual. The Trust works on various
anti-corruption initiatives; the trust also worked relentlessly on
Manjunath's murder case and succeeded in bringing all the 8 accused to
book in a record 9 months' trial. The key accused was awarded death
penalty and the rest were awarded life imprisonment.

We, at the trust, are organizing a candle light march across college
campuses in India on 19th November 2008 to commemorate his death
anniversary. We request the entire student community of India to join
us in the candle light march to show their solidarity with the cause
and help in awakening nationwide consciousness about widespread
corruption prevalent in the country.

Having thought and talked much about deep-rooted corruption and
government insensitiveness, this candle light march gives the student
community an opportunity to make their voice heard on these issues.

We request your institute to take part in the candle light march at
your own campus. The timings of the same shall be intimated to you
soon. We expect at least 75 students from each institute to take part
in the candle light march at their respective campuses.

The trust takes great pleasure in inviting the faculty of your
institute to join the students in this candle light march.

The Manjunath Shanmugam Trust shall take care of the event design,
media coverage and distribution of pamphlets providing information
about the trust and its objectives.

Please confirm your participation in the candle light march by mailing
back to us at manjunathtrust.iiml@... latest by 30th October. In
case you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at the
above mentioned mail id. Also, please provide us the contact details
of the main student body of your institute, so that formal permission
etc. can be obtained.

Refer to the attached pdf for further details.

Sorry if you have recieved this mail again

Warm Regards,

Manjunath Shanmugam Trust
