The most effective way to reach people in India is via Films and
Television.

If I had the money, I would create short, attractive and simple
commercials
about economic policies, the need for liberalization. and how the govt
netas
and babus makes the life of the people miserable etc. and educate people

about the need to elect honest politicians and urge them to resist
giving
bribes to the babus and netas. If every one refuses to give bribes, the
netas/babus corrupt days will be over!

I would make an animation of what India can become if we did this. so
that
people can literally see how things will change for better.

A group of NRI's could do this.
