Is Anna Hazare another Gandhi? A question raised by many, is so important in the context that Gandhi Ji never wanted to be in the currency notes smiling, just to be the fundamental aspect of bribing and corruption from which Anna Hazare(a Gandhian!) is fighting.
Anna Hazare has the courage even in his 70’s to stand up to the wrong-doers and say no, but does people who are following him in his fight have it?
Few of them might have that courage required. But just a few.!
Let’s get back a little in our history when Gandhi was the one fighting against the British. He was followed by almost whole of the India. We got rid of the British. We got our freedom. But ended up with what?
Our own government, our own people and unfortunately our own greed and voracity. What started as an independent India has become a dependent India. We are now dependent on the money, the babus accepting bribes, the common man paying the bribes just to get his work done. The simplest of the jobs need the unauthorized payment at every level of the system.
But then why are the babus or the other officials to be blamed??
Even the small kids are taught to do this. “Do your homework and then you can have the ice-cream.”
Now what’s wrong when the same kid demands the ‘ice-cream’ when he knows you will be the most desperate to have the work done.
The jan lokpal bill can be a solution to the widespread corruption. But just going through rallies and candle marches isn’t showing the real support. This shows how we can come together for a cause, but what happens after the jan lokpal bill will decide the fate of our country.
What if no one gives a damn about the jan lokpal bill and still bribes? What if we still support Anna Hazare for what he did and still try getting ‘jugad’? What if the support shown just fades away and becomes history?
This is what happened with Gandhi. And are we making Anna Hazare another Gandhi just stuck to the currency notes, smiling on his own failure?
PS: perhaps many would think I am being discouraging, but this is what I felt.
PS: Anna Hazare has done what no one would have liked to start.!
PS:rock on!!!

I totally agree with u….
You are absolutely right..I’m totally agree with you and I’ve the same question as yours that even if jan lokpal bill get passed by our constitution the problem won’t solve there…this problem can be solved only if we changed ourselves. If we stop getting our works done by some “jugad” in our life only then I think this problem will come to an end.
