Azad Maidan and Anna Hazare
I watched various TV channels over the last couple of days covering the Government's bungled up strategy and debates on Anna Hazare and the movement. The debates ranged from calling this a middle class movement (as if corruption does not affect the upper class and lower class - i wonder who coined this) and to the ridiculous -( on reputed channel had invited a so called thinker who considered this to be a upper class movement without thinking about the Dalits. Really, how we all like to argue and debate besides the core point. Whilst I appreciate the media for the coverage of this movement, some times it can really be ridiculous). So it was a relief when we (my wife, a cousin and a close friend) all decided to make a trip to Azad Maidan to express solidarity to the movement against corruption. It was exhilarating to see so many people, young and old alike coming to the ground to show their support. Mayank Gandhi explained what the Jan Lokpal Bill is all about and how it is different from the Bill passed by the Government. It was extremely informative and we realised that it is a movement that requires all the support that everyone can give. It is an opportunity to prove to any Government that they cannot take the People for granted. I dont know if there is any way to convey our thanks to Anna and his team and to all people who are fighting for a Corruption free India.
