Information is Power

[VivekSinghJain]

Hi All,
I am Vivek Singh Jain, a Systems Engineer in a Telecom MNC in Chennai. I got information of this site from google search. Though I have spent only a few minutes on this site, but I got the information I was looking for- how to claim the delayed Income Tax Refund.

Over a period of time, I have been grappling with my own ignorance about the system in which I live. Many times I just surrender to my own ignorance and accept the injustices of the lazy, corrupt system , thinking that its the way it is.

But I believe that we the educated people hold the responsibility to know, fight and argue for our rights and be the role model for many helpless and ignorant.

I am glad to learn, explore, feel empowered or in short be on this website
