For example, India had several freedom fighters - all of whom fought with the same fervor for the same goal, but there were a few key individuals the movement centered around.<br /><br />Ditto for the current anti-corruption agitation. Anna Hazare is at the forefront not necessarily because he is the most virtuous of leaders that we could have had. God knows that there are many others slogging away silently to keep the system from rotting completely. He is at the forefront due to factors that not many of us could have controlled, and it's important that we have people like him taking the lead. He is a key national resource at this point - a force for causing a massive mobilization and convergence of public opinion. Time for the rest of us mere mortals to overcome our peevishness at having missed our shot at immortality and support the movement for the greater good with what resources we can muster.Arun Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394085072917512755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-69946050416322009162011-04-08T09:04:21.586-07:002011-04-08T09:04:21.586-07:00My take -

Anna Hazare becoming an ayatullah has to be taken with a pinch of salt, as for decades from nehru onwards (refer to 1948 jeep scandal)political leader and their admin rajas (IAS brigade) have looted country with no thought of countrymen and thus all efforts of changing the scene is just watered down every time. Won't public get fed up?? and demand an military style one leader/ayatollah style quick justice as even depicted in hindi films.<br /><br />3. Nehru was a good visionary but not a leader thats why India got defeated in 1962, kashmir is still an blood sucking demon and the nehruvian policy of total control by admin (IAS, IPS) and political leaders is playing havoc with the country till date.<br /><br />4. Most of persons on a monetarily significant position will try to benefit from it thus, not only punish people responsible but also make system transparent and accountable which has been elusive even in the india's most of govt offices.openlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549633027137961197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-76027589982927081472011-04-08T08:19:07.328-07:002011-04-08T08:19:07.328-07:00Working within the govt heiarchy, to my amazement ...Working within the govt heiarchy, to my amazement i found out that the general opinion is that this movement is a media hype... i was amazed if not dissapointed. utthe fact of the matter is that even if this is a media hype, let us not wither away this wonderful opportunity and in fact make the most it. Ironically this is what even the media would want. This is a golden opprtunity to set things right or attempt to do so, and we do not want to wait for another fifty yr=ears before such an opportunity comes by.aaceeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286063419899618443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-83467652863873768552011-04-08T04:36:05.806-07:002011-04-08T04:36:05.806-07:00Sir,

But this corruption menace have been engulfed our progress in a way that if we do not act sense of emergency we would be again slaved in terms of technology importing. These middleman and corrupt politicians neglecting our indigenous technology despite its reliable and just for few penny we corrupt.I still cherish the divine anger shown by mass when Gandhian resisted foreign Manchester cloths. I am sensing the logic behind that.Shital Gandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793800107800216375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-21201074389887231842011-04-07T21:47:48.053-07:002011-04-07T21:47:48.053-07:00Here we go again. Three days into the protest and ...Here we go again. Three days into the protest and already we have cracks amongst us. This is always a problem with us Indians. We can never accept a leader. Sir, basically what you are suggesting is to have a movement where there is no one leader. Actually such movement will fail because it will pull in opposite directions and the willy politicians will be able to divide and rule and nullify the movement. Imagine giving such an advice to Mahatma Gandhi during his freedom struggle. "Gandhi is turning out to be the ayatollah of the freedom struggle. Let us not allow him to think he knows more about independence than us, mortals" --- We would still be under British rule. That's exactly why we don't have strong leaders today, because when anyone is about to become one, we start pulling his legs. Sir, not a fly was ready to take lead in the fight against corruption, this man stood up. Let him atleast finish his fight before we start to pull the rug from under his feet!!<br /><br />We had decided to protest (against corruption) in front of the Indian Embassy in Finland a few days back. We had advertised our protest well in advance and about 40-50 people had showed interest in joining. Do you know how many people actually turned up at the event? 4!! When we called some of the 'youngsters' who were supposed to be present, they told us they were still sleeping!!!<br /><br />Under such circumstances, I think it is a boon that we have Anna Hazare to wake people up! Let us not hit the axe on our own feet just when the fight is warming up.Pareshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990490653401639607noreply@blogger.com
