I read it only in the history books. The great struggle to free India... the great fasts taken by several great men and women, some of whom to name are like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru... even our Mahatma! I have always seen those being picturized, but haven't seen a real fast for a real cause!
Padmashree Anna Hazare ji just fulfilled that vacuum of an observation. His 97 hour fast, rocked the Nation and all the Governments (State and Union), that brought ahead a public out cry in support of Hazare ji. Its for the Lok-pal Bill, a law and formation of a Politically Free organization that would be against politicians, IF COMPLAINED! I support it...
After Mr. Hazare broke his Fast, yesterday, there was a wave of celebration all over the country, because the Union Government, under Dr. Manmohan Singh, decided to formulate the Bill. Mr. Hazare wants it to be tabled in this Monsoon Session of the Parliament, June 2011.
I pinged in a comment on Facebook after he broke the Fast and after seeing the whole nation Rejoice:
Do not be Part of the Celebration. Be part of the Movement. Anna Hazare is... he eats after 97 hours!
Indians have suddenly stopped growing as she lacks proper leaders who can take steps for bold movements... This is a cause that makes the country have the tool to take an answer from the servants who have served her. This makes a healthy democracy. The eons of epics have always made time run in proper channels, If and Only If you are answerable to the questions posed by the ones whom you serve. The cycle of life spins rounf...so there is no nodal end anywhere.. something, that the Politicians take as granted after winning an election!
What the nation expects is clear... to whip the politicians when needed, but like the Indian Constitution having too many loopholes, I would like to put in; LET THIS BILL BE AS SOLID AS IRON AND FOOL PROOF!
I support Hazare ji! Jai Hind.
I am concerned if the bill does not get passed...what would happen??
ReplyDeleteanother fast??? not sure everything looks pretty foggy after the initial victory!!!!
