Anna Hazare - Fight for Jan Lokpal Bill by Modern Day Gandhian

10:35 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
Its been a quite hectic month where we enjoyed every bit of it. Icing on the case was the win of the Team India in the Finals. We all celebrated it like anything, It was the moment we all waited for so many years. I was relieved by one thing that I wont need to see those 1983 winning pictures, I am sure many of you must have felt the same. It was the day in our life where we wanted to celebrate, be it a friend or a stranger. We all were shouting for India, the Team India. It was once in life time moment and Thank God we experience it.

Many of you or some of you must have thought that this is another blog for world cup. Actually wanted to write about the win but there is more important is happening now in our nation. We are done with the celebrations, now we need to concentrate on problem at hand. I think its the world cup celebrations which must have prompted the social activist to go ahead with this movement.

The passion we all shown on the street, we need to show it now. Anna Hazare is the flag bearer of this movement. He has fought with these people all his life so rest assure that we have a right person leading this movement. I have know this person for many years, I always boast about the fact that we hail from same district as mine 'Ahmednagar' [and Zaheer Khan :)]. He was the fore front of the movement for Right To Information. If its not been his efforts we would not had this act implemented.

Even I also know very little about the person who is the most important person in India right now. As usual I googled some information so lets get so more knowledge about the man of the moment.

Anna Hazare is one of India's well-acclaimed social activists. A former soldier in the Indian army, Anna is well known and respected for upgrading the ecology and economy of the village of Ralegan Siddhi which is located in the drought prone Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state. The erstwhile barren village has metamorphosed into a unique model of rural development due to its effective water conservation methods, which made the villagers self-sufficient. Earlier, the same village witnessed alcoholism, utter poverty and migration to urban slums. 

Inspired by Hazare’s unique approach of salvaging a hopeless village, the state government has implemented the `Model Village’ scheme as part of its official strategy. Hazare is now synonymous with rural development in India.


Its because of his effort that act like RTI came to existing, he has fought many such battles in most corrupt state in India obviously Maharashtra. Its because of these corrupt politicians we have lagged behind other states. It the person like anna hazare who is continuously fighting the battle against corrupt people.

I am really amazed by the recent activity, truly it is unique to India. When I wrote my last blog about Egyptian Revolution 2.0, I was thinking of such a revolution 5 years down the line. Even though there is no similarity between these two movements. It would be foolish to compare Manmohan Singh to Hosni Mubarak. He even cannot dictate to his own misters, dictating the nation is

Many of might think that we have the law like 'Right To Information' then "Why do we need another law?". It straight forward answer, RTI can be used to unearth the Scams by getting information. It this act who has brought so many scam in public notice. The problem with these noticed scam was that there was not a law who will make sure that the trial will happen speedily. As in most of the previous scams those politicians or bureaucrats either got retired or died but no one got the punishment.

We need this Jan th Lokpan Bill which will sure insure the speedy trial and punishment. We must have this tough law against these corrupt people. Following are some of the links by which you can be part of this movement.

Its a now or never time for the India. We are developing at the rate of 7-8%, which for some would see very high. If you look at the potential of India, it can exceed any number ever 12-15% growth is possible if we consider. I am firm believer in the History, it has the habit of repeating itself. History of India has show that once our nation was the richest nation in the world. Its in our had to make sure that we make our country, the richest country in the world.

For this to happen we got to do away with this corrupt politicians. I am also believer that these politicians are the impression of the society at large. We have seen enough, this time it has to over. We Indians are very passionate and forgiving people. We have moved on our journey to the greatness but I think the biggest obstacles of that journey will be corruption. In my previous blogs I have been very critical of this subject. I have always emphasized on the impact of the corruption in our daily lives. This menace has deprived India to it rightful place in the World.

I heard one of the congress spokesman saying that "Anna should not put the gun to the Governments Head". I think he forgot that there was a person in him party who used weapon of "Satyagrah" to fight British. If they don't do it now then I am afraid his words may come true, as week know what is happening in the Tribal Area's. Those people didn't had the means of laws to fight against Government so they picked up weapons. I think government should not force us to emulate the poor tribal's of this country.

Lets not overlook now because Its now or never time of our live. If we don't make a difference now it would be too late in the future. I had this feeling of helplessness for too long, Anna has shown us the way to look forward to better future. Lets help him to help us to realized our dream of country where there is no corruption. This time we need to come together and convey the message loud and clear

While there is still a long way to go to eradicate deep rooted corruption from our country, the Jan LokPal Bill can be a good first step that will give certain power to people to act against corrupt public servants.
