The Wish & The Battle Inside

The Congress party's 2009 election motto read: Aam aadmi ke badte kadam, Har kadam par Bharat buland. Not sarcastic but the truth, the words behind the motto meant: Bhrashtachar ke badte kadam, Har kadam par Bharat khatam.                                                    or Aam aadmi ke bate kadam, har kadam par jurm ki takat buland. What has corruption done to India? I'll jot down what has been in newspapers in the month of June, just one single month: 17 Jun 2011,21:44 Pune police have booked a 29 year old person for allegedly raping a woman on the pretext of marrying her 16 Jun 2011,21:06 A tantrik was arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old teen at Larankelo village of Kullu on Thursday evening. The incident came ...

My question- "what next Annaji?" is pointed towards the common man. Quite concisely I knew the fate of Lokpal on April 22, 2011 as I highlighted in Vande Matram , still in some corner of my heart I had some hope not in government but the democracy which is non-existent. And it is not only me who is perturbed, I read what Kiran Bedi tweeted today, at this moment - "Govt bill reinforces practice of two sets of laws in enforcement. With PM, judiciary and MPs for corruption in the house out of lokpal bill. By its new draft govt makes it three inquiry\ investigating overlapping agencies. CBI, CVC and Lokpal. Not one single anti corruption body. It also bifurcates the bureaucracy into higher and lower. And provides non effective relief for a common man. It also leaves the state ayukts out. Which means states will need to struggle for effective anti corruption institution too. The selection panel is a political heavy weight. Ours was a mixed balance. The removal of a cor...

The government which never questioned why so much corruption is now questioning why so much agitation. The dogs of the corrupt system who are barking over the news channels and in the media that, such agitations are not worthy and have suspicious motives, should atleast do a soul search for what have they done for the nation. They all are corruption beneficiaries wagging their tails for the ministers and now someone, a man, is trampling on these dog's tails and they have started barking. All the political parties and their dogs have vested interest in corruption, and they take care of each other. Corrupt practices are not imposed from outside; people choose to practice them to further their interests! For how long did the government think that they would continue their naked display of corruption and the nation will keep itself blindfolded to what is happening, aren't six decades enough. We have had enough of scandals, loots, rapes, abductions and murders by the legislato...

I was not one among the many Indians who felt euphoric after the government caved in to Anna Hazare's movement against corruption. I was skeptical of the government's move and they did not disappoint me either, they proved my theory right. My theory- that the government could sense the spark and the heat, so it immediately decided to extinguish it before it catches widespread fire and then remove the originators of this fire out of the system by any and all means possible. The Indian judicial system works in a simple manner, if someone stands for true justice, walk up beside them slowly and stab them in their heart, keep the culprits in a safe custody till then. This is how almost every movement, every agitation in our country dies. What chance does a country have when the good people do nothing? Common men have learned to bury their responsibilities with their silence. They need to learn to confront it and face the truth. They know how to fight for their food, they need to l...

"The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realized without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment and involvement of the common man." These are the words, the vision of the man who commenced a fast upto death on 5th April 2011- Anna Hazare. Anna Hazare's protest led to the resignation of Mr CORRUPT Pawar from the governments Lokpal Bill committee but is that enough. Pawar is not the only corrupt politician. How can a guilty convict a guilty. The politicians are all robbers of the same gang, we need someone from outside this system to nab these corrupts. If this country has to be cleansed then the job cannot be trusted with by the current set of politicians. This movement has to be led by efficient leaders bring Narayan Murthys, Anna Hazares and cleanse the system. A movement is in the beginning, the people are coming out of their shells and raising voice, let's make this voice-a roar. SHOUT LO...
