About
Aarunya Swaraj Party
Most public problems are not unsolved because they are hard. They are unsolved because nobody documented them properly, nobody established how many people were affected, and nobody kept asking.
Aarunya Issues is our attempt at that missing work. Each issue is numbered and treated the same way: state the problem precisely, publish every source, find out how many people actually want it changed, then pursue it formally — and report what happens, including when nothing does.
How we work
- Every factual claim carries a source link and the date we last verified it.
- We record disagreement as well as support. A number built only from people who agreed with us would not be evidence of anything.
- We publish aggregate figures only — totals, institution counts, State counts. Never individual names or contact details.
- We ask for no money. No fee, no donation, no membership charge.
- We publish outcomes we did not want, and silence when we get it.
Who is behind this
Aarunya Issues is being built by students who believe that being young should not mean being silent about the problems around us.
We have seen problems around us, experienced some of them ourselves, and asked a simple question: why do so many genuine problems remain unsolved even when everyone knows they exist?
We are starting small, learning as we go, and doing the work in public. We research real issues, verify facts, listen to the people affected by them, collect evidence, and take those issues to the people and institutions responsible for acting on them.
We do not claim to have all the answers, and we do not claim to represent everyone. We want to understand problems honestly, question what needs to be questioned, and record what happens after an issue is raised — whether the outcome is a success, a failure, or somewhere in between.
For us, being students is not a limitation. It is where the journey begins.
Aarunya Issues is our attempt to turn concern into understanding, understanding into evidence, and evidence into action — one issue at a time.
Founder's note
I remember waking up at one in the morning. We grew green vegetables at home, and on market days we would load everything and leave the village while everyone else was asleep. The market was about 40 kilometres away, and by three in the morning we would be there, waiting to find out what months of work was worth. As a child, I did not understand markets or prices. I only understood that we had worked for months, and in a few seconds someone else could decide what that work was worth. Some days the price was fair, some days it was almost nothing, and some days there was no buyer at all. We would bring the vegetables back, give them away, or watch them go to waste. That experience stayed with me: the people carrying the greatest risk and doing the hardest work often had the least control over the value of their work.
I was born in a village, and farming was the life I grew up living. My parents worked from early morning until late at night. We had buffaloes, cows, goats, sheep and hens. I helped take care of them, took buffaloes out to graze, collected milk and worked in the fields. We had mango trees and mulberry plants, and I grew up seeing how closely a family's life could depend on land, water, weather and markets. There were nights when I had to go alone to water our crops because the water came when it came and the fields could not wait until morning. I sometimes found myself in places where hardly anyone was around, working late into the night and early morning. At the time, I simply knew the work had to be done. Looking back, those nights taught me courage, responsibility and the habit of continuing even when nobody is watching.
Farming also showed me how hard work does not always guarantee a fair outcome. There were times of water scarcity, crop losses, rising expenses, uncertain prices and the pressure of keeping the family going. I saw farmers struggle even after putting everything they had into a crop. I also saw how farmers can become dependent on agricultural input systems and how even choosing alternative approaches such as Zero Budget Natural Farming does not remove the economic challenge if the market does not reward the produce. The farmer carries the risk, but often has very little control over the final outcome.
As I grew older, I began to see similar problems beyond the fields. Our family had to deal with land matters, registrations, government offices and paperwork. I experienced situations where having money, influence or connections could make legitimate work easier, while ordinary people could be left waiting. Nobody had written that as a rule, but people understood it. I began asking myself: Why should an ordinary person need money or influence to get something they are already entitled to? That question stayed with me.
I kept studying because education was the path that remained open to me. Eventually, that journey brought me from my village to IIT Delhi. Sitting in one of India's premier institutions made me look at my own journey differently. I was still the same person who had taken buffaloes out to graze and stood in a market at three in the morning, but I had reached a place that once seemed very far away. And that created another question: If opportunity could change my life this much, how many capable people never get that opportunity? How many children of farmers, workers and ordinary families never get the chance to discover what they can become? I could not simply ignore that question.
That thinking led to Aarunya Issues. I had seen real problems become speeches, promises and headlines without enough follow-through. So I wanted to try something different: take one real problem at a time, understand it deeply, verify the facts, build evidence, listen to the people affected, take it to the institutions capable of acting, and record honestly what happened — whether we succeeded or failed. If you have a problem, your voice matters. Aarunya Issues is about turning public problems into documented issues, evidence and action.
But I also learned that evidence alone is not enough. You can prove that a problem exists and show that people want it solved, but eventually someone has to take responsibility for turning that understanding into policy, institutions and action. That is why Aarunya Swaraj Party exists. Aarunya Issues is the work of understanding the problem; the party is the responsibility of trying to solve it.
I did not enter politics for a title or position. I entered because I believe politics should be about solving the problems people actually live with. Public office must be a responsibility, not a privilege; service, not status; and accountability, not power for its own sake.
We are not here simply to oppose another party or political alliance. We are pro-India. Our aim is to build a genuine national political alternative focused on India's future rather than being defined by old political divisions. We intend to take this work across the country, including contesting the next Lok Sabha election. The broader national political effort we are working toward is the Bharat Swaraj Front — not built against anyone, but built for the country we believe India can become.
The India I want to help build is one where:
- A farmer's child can dream without family income deciding the limits of that dream.
- A student's background does not decide their future.
- An ordinary citizen does not need money or connections to get what they are already entitled to.
- Farmers receive a fairer relationship between the risks they carry, the work they do and the value they receive.
- Young people have genuine opportunities to learn, work, research, create and lead.
- Public institutions remain accountable to people long after an election is over.
- Hard work has a fair chance of leading to a better life.
I know what it is like to leave home at one in the morning without knowing what the day will bring. I know what it is like to work hard without any guarantee that the result will be fair. I also know what opportunity can do. My journey from a village to IIT Delhi did not make me forget where I came from; it made me understand how much a person's life can change when they are given a genuine chance.
So I cannot simply look at my own journey and say, “I made it.” I have to ask what happens to the person who never got the chance. That question is bigger than me, bigger than Aarunya Issues, bigger than Aarunya Swaraj Party and bigger than one election. It is about the kind of India we choose to build together.
I began with a village. I reached Delhi. But I did not leave the village behind. I carry its fields, its people, its struggles, its lessons and the sacrifices of my parents with me. And perhaps that is why I still remember that journey to the market at one in the morning — a child waiting at three in the morning to find out what months of work were worth.
Today, I think about a much bigger question: What should the work, dreams and lives of every Indian be worth?
I believe every Indian deserves a fair chance to build a better life. I believe politics can be about service, leadership can be about responsibility, and institutions can be made accountable to the people they exist to serve.
My ambition is not merely to speak about India's future. My ambition is to help build it.
The future of India is not something we wait for. It is something we build — together.
Jai Hind.

What we are not
We are not here to manufacture outrage, exaggerate our reach, or pretend that every problem has an easy solution. We do not want to make claims simply because they sound powerful, and we will not call something a public movement until people themselves make it one.
We are building this carefully and in public. We will make mistakes, and when we do, we should be willing to correct them. When an issue succeeds, we will document it. When it stalls or fails, we will say that too.
We would rather build credibility slowly than manufacture it quickly.
Our flag
This is the flag of Aarunya Swaraj Party. Everything on it was chosen to mean something, and this page records those meanings in the party's own words.
Official proportions 2:3. White above, deep blue below, a golden dawn at the centre of a shared horizon.
The white field
The upper half of the flag is pure white — truth, transparency, openness, peace, and the possibility that is still ahead of us. It is deliberately the larger visual space: what India can still become matters more than any organisation's mark on it.
The deep blue field
The lower half is deep blue — constitutional governance, stability, responsibility, scientific temper, and institutional strength. It sits beneath everything else on the flag because institutions are a foundation, not a decoration.
The golden dawn
A golden sun rises exactly at the horizon — hope, opportunity, and a beginning. It is a dawn, not a full sun: this movement claims a start, not an arrival.
The blue arch
A thin deep-blue arch frames the rising sun — constitutional protection around new hope. Ambition inside the frame of law, not outside it.
The five rays
Exactly five bold geometric rays break upward from the dawn — one for each commitment the party holds above everything else: the Citizen, the Constitution, Opportunity, Justice, and Progress.
The horizon
One perfectly straight line runs the full width of the flag — equality. Every citizen stands on the same foundation, and the dawn rises on all of them at once.
A note on this symbolism
These meanings are the party's own adopted interpretation — what we chose these colours and shapes to stand for. We make no claim that they carry official or historical meanings beyond that. A flag is a promise made in public; this page is the record of what ours promises.
The work that promise produces is documented, issue by issue, at Aarunya Issues.
