Anna Hazare Phenomenon-The Fire Against Corruption

Ex Super Cop-Kiran Bedi

Anna Hazare

Arvind Kejriwal
 It was April 4 2011,
          the whole country was still in the happy hangover of INDIA'S worldcup victory.The men in blue led by young,dynamic captain M.S.Dhoni created a new history by lifting the WORLD CUP after 27years,but no one had thought till the dawn of April 4 that the past cricket history is going to be a prologue for the another history to be written by a team led by a 71yrs old man KISAN BABURAO HAZARE alias ANNA HAZARE.
          Perhaps it was not a popular name which many people were heard off  but now this name has become the ray of hope for all those who feel frustrated,disgusted about the system we are living with.Its not that people want to uproot this whole democratic system,but when the leaders who rule us fails to understand people's voice,their feelings, it leads to a big blow to the system,which is what exactly happened in the form of Anna Hazare Movement against Corruption, in other words INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION.
          Someone has said '' Power Corrupts But Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely",in fact Power and Corruption are the two faces of the same coin.In democracy, actually the real power is the common man only,but the same common man once get elected by his own people as their representative and enters the corridor of power forgets  his duties and responsiillites and becomes the slave of corruption.Corruption is not a new word for Indians,its there since India's inception.We Indians are used to with this problem.But this time it crossed its limits with every day new scams were unfolding starting from Adarsh Society,common wealth,2g spectrum,denotification(thanks to Right To Information Act).all politicos became naked infront of people,not just politicos even journalists,corporarate giants all became the part of dirty corruption game.So this all made people so much frustrated that people were waiting to express the outrage against corruption,and Anna's Voice and Leadership gave a platform for that,and all walks of people supported Anna Hazare like as if its the war against corruption and politicians.
          Anna Hazare's demands were not so tough that our democratic government cant fulfill it,he just asked for the set up of Joint Drafting Committe to bring the strong Lokpal Act with the help of which leaders,bureacrats who betrays the nation can be punished and justice can be made.But our rigid governments was not ready to accept the demands and gave the blind citation of unprescidental happenings,but when day by day his fast unto death agitation got strengthened by the suppport of youth of this country,even power corridors shook out and at last bowed its head against Common Man's Voice,accepting to set up Drafting Committe in which 5members from the civil society got seat among the 10 members.
          Anna's not the single one to lead such huge movement,Aravind Kejriwal,Kiran Bedi,Swami Agnivesh and many others supported and worked for it.The Crusade'll not end here just by the announcement of Joint Drafting Committe,its just the bigining,the road ahead is not easy but its not even impossible also...lets see what's there in the Pandora Box!!!
