k.ram,

Rajeev's blog has some details.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Check out this mail where he solicits funds. He needs Rs. 1 lakh for
fuel (for 2 vehicles) and this is just for the indian leg of the
march.

The distance between Delhi and Wagah is approximately 450 kilometres.
So the round trip is 900 kilometres and for two vehicles it works out
to the amount of fuel needed for 1800 kilometres. Even at a poor rate
of 10 kilometres to the litre, you need just Rs 7200 (assuming 40
rupees per litre)

<b>Guess where the remaining 92,800 goes! That is 92.8% overheads</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
