This movement started from a page called 'We are all khalid said'. This was the page designated to the death of the Blogger who got killed due to police atrocities in Alexandria (Second largest City in the Egypt). He posted the page in name of the Martr, this page become such a rage that people started to talk about the revolt against the Human Rights Abuse against people of Egypt.
This was the common thing in the Egypt, hence he called a protest on 25th of Jan last month in the Tahrir square.
When Wael Ghonim got there there were near about 25000 people, which was way ahead of his estimates. They were chanting against the government. While those demonstrations he got arrested. When he came out of the custody he could not believe himself that some group on Facebook could lead to millions of people on the streets.
Yesterday was one more historic day, which our generation has witnessed. I haven't see the pictures of people celebrating on the streets after getting the freedom. After watching the ordeal for last 18 day, it was truly amazing to witness such a revolution which started from the mean which we use daily, could lead to revolution and freeing its people.
This event truly amazing to see how people can dislodge a Dictator. The Dictator who ruled the country with such ruthlessness, needed only 18 days. I think this is the power of the people, when they come together nothing is impossible. This result has very long lasting impact on the Middle East, There are many nervous dictators now than yesterday. I think they must be counting there days. Actually it is not that far from us, if it spreads in the middle-east. It would sure come to our door steps.
Will we have a uprising like this in the future? it is a million dollar question. I am not sure when it would happen, not likely in the near future. Its not that we didn't had such a revolution. We had many, one of that got the independence without bloodshed. In my view the revolution already started in some parts of India. It is against the police atrocities and Corrupt politicians or Mine Mafia's, we call it Naxalism. All of it is not bad, there are many valid concerns of the Tribal People, they do not have the means which we have in cities. We need to take note of there struggle or be ready to face the problems in the cities.
It wont take time to people to get fed up with the government policies and amount of corruption happening. I myself has been very critical of the corruption, in my view corruption is the only thing which could lead to downfall of our great country.
Corruption of the minds of the rulers has led to this revolution, people fed up with there corrupt practices. Yes, This is actually a revolution against the Corrupt people, who think that they can do anything they want and Get away with it. Its now time to think again.
I am really ashamed of our government, who instead of speaking for the people of Egypt was mute spectator. We as a democracy (however bad its been) has the responsibility to protect and promote it(unlike Uncle Sam). It is time that Government of India should give all the support to the people of Egypt needs. After all we both are very old civilizations hence we must support the people, whichever way we could.
In my view that day is not far where we as Indian's need a revolution to stop the corrupt practices of the people in the government. We have done this in the past and surely we can do in the future. We just need the will and determination. As a youngest country in the world, I think government should start acting on these corrupt people or get ready to face the anger of the people.
There were 1 million on the street of Cairo. We can have 10 million, then no army or the force would stop us. I am hoping that our leader would take note of the anger of the people and act on time, cause if they won't act now. It would be too late in the future....

wonderful sachin, In fact everyone has anger in their mind about the corruption in our so called democratic country. if it continue for some more days or if Fucking Congress Government don't act quickly on it, the day is not far when they will face the anger of people of our country.
One correction needed in your sentence of some paragraph in the following line
"I think this is the power of the people, When they come together nothing is possible"
keep bloggingggg
