After 64 years of independence, A man, imbued with gandhian values, having dreams of corruption free nation in his eyes, left home for history making journey. He had nothing except than tricolor in his hand and “Vande Matram” on his tongue. His only weapons are ahimsa and fast. He initiated a campaign against corruption and demanded Jan lokpal Bill. A Bill which, he claimed, will reduce corruption upto 60-65%. "Anna Hazare" is this man. Though his actual and unpopular name is "Kishan Baburao Hazare".
Soon he influenced the world to echo the only slogan “Anna tum sangharsh karo, hum tumhare sath hain(Anna, you do struggle, we are with you)”. Everybody has related itself to the campaign as a victim of corruption. Corruption is everywhere in India whether it is ration card department, driving license, registration number, LPG cylinders, electricity, municipality, telecommunication or any other government department. People have had to give bribes to get the work done. Even for Getting their child admitted in schools, parents have to give money in the name of donation.
People are frustrating from price rise. Vegetable to garments, petrol to medicine everywhere prices have risen drastically. It has become impossible to meet both time breads. How a poor man will manage to send their children to school.
Though, Government has completely failed to control price rise and at the other side government has been unable to put break on the continuing series of scams. Adarsh society scam, 2G-3G scam, CWG scam and the most recent revelation of KG Basin scam are the top scams of today‘s time.
In harsh situation, when every section of society has been agitated due to corruption, Anna has come in front as a ray of hope. People have seen Anna as a masiah. They soon understood that Anna’s fight is their own fight. Therefore they come in huge numbers to support his campaign. People do believe that Anna’s Jan Lokpal Bill will reduce corruption and that will help to create a transparent system. Anna’s simple and clear language and the way he expresses his views associate him with the common man.
Anna, along with his team, worked hard to form this Jan lokpal Bill. They toured to several places, discussed bill with the people, make amendments many times and finally did referendum.
Now, Rounds of parley have started between team Anna and the government. Will Jan lokpal Bill passed in this session? Will Anna’s fast break tomorrow? Will government respect public sentiments? Answers are kept in future’s womb.
Whether India wins or lose, Anna has awaken numb soul of young India. People have understood that if they wish to live in corruption free atmosphere, they have to come in front and stand strongly against corruption.
