Anna Hazare ..... Fast unto Victory

Anna Hazare has won a remarkable victory for the people of India. Of late politics in India has become murkey and both ruling party and opposition have become insensitive to real issues concerning the people. While in power some of them swindle money in millions and billions. A few of them are adept with any formation so that they can stick to power, term after term. In the process they shift sides and join hands with those whom they were opposing tooth and nail till the last day. Some ministers have made some portfolios their fiefdom. The process of election in our country is truly representative in its character and is pride of our nation. Our elections are looked upon as a marvel by commentators across the globe. But with no limit to the number of terms an individual can contest an election  many of the constituencies are reserved in the name  of certain individuals. With people of impeccable character slowly withdrawing from th electoral process or getting marginalized by over smart crooks in political parties many times we end up without any choice. Our selection is limited to lesser evil. In some parts of the country we have to settle for dictated voting, this in spite of all the precautions taken by our Election commission. 

Ultimately we are having vast majority of our representatives of  mediocre standard. 

The Parliament is held to ransom on one issue or the other, most of them insignificant. Even when there is a debate, none including the Leader of the house or opposition leader gets patient hearing. High decibel, collective obstructionism is the key word. Crores are wasted when parliament fails to transact business. Poor man who find it hard to meet his daily need paying tax on products and services that ultimately get wasted and looted.

Of late the laws we make are not in any sense reflecting the aspiration of people of the country. They are not good enough for a forward looking country.

Scam after scam, inefficiency and inadequacy and direction less Government and opposition !

No country can get on with this. The freedom we won, after sacrifices from illustrious sons of Mother India is now under siege from a section of our own men who are nothing but wolves in sheep's skin. 

We are indeed tired of the way things are going on . The pure heart of mother India is still alive. It was simply waiting for some dependable and guiding spirit to rally around. It is this pivot that Anna Hazare provided. 

See the spontaneous response............... Count the days ......... 1,2,3,4 and rulers of world's largest democracy are kneeling. See how they softened their stand and are now saying all these they are doing for laymen. 

We need more such fights to build an India that our freedom fighters dreamed about..... an India were truth and equality are held in high esteem.
