Anna Hazare - Fight against Corruption


After a long respite, I could not resist in writing this to my Blog. I have heard only from History about India`s fight for Independence. The Indian Independence was won by selfless hearts and leaders who put the national interest ahead of their personal comfort.

Today after 63 years, Anna Hazare stir`s the entire nation by undergoing Fast-Until Death to Fight against Corruption. The Demand to have Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's Ombudsman Bill)has garnered the support of Millions of Indians across the country.

In two hundred cities across India on Tuesday, thousands of college students, young executives and housewives joined a campaign that asks the government to enact an important new law to fight corruption

Of Course, it stands clear that until Civil society plays a role in drafting the law, thing would not change. However this is a first good step to see India move down on the rank of Corrupted Nations.

True.. It is quite an admirable effort.

Lets say the bill gets through and comes into practice.. Wonder if it will be possible to adhere or keep to it all the time, given the highest corruption that our country is presently entangled in!!!

I hope you make the time to write your thoughts here.
