Dare to Speak...

For more than 40 years, reformers and other agitators have tried in vain to cleanse India of corruption. They have staged demonstrations, candlelight vigils and protest marches for naught. In Parliament, efforts to create an independent anticorruption agency began in 1968. It still does not exist. Given this legacy of failure, an unexpected development is now stirring up the world’s largest and most raucous democracy: the agitators are on a hot streak. Government ministers are frantically trying to persuade one of India’s most popular gurus to call off a nationwide yoga rally against corruption — yes, a yoga protest — and a mass hunger strike , scheduled to begin Saturday. Already, the government has capitulated to the demands of another hunger-striking anticorruption crusader. For an Indian public disgusted by worsening corruption, the hunger strikes and yoga sit-ins are spectacles of political theater embroidering what is actually a fight over how to fix the rusted gears of India...

However, these recent developments on the part of political parties are really shocking! On the question of Afzal Guru, obtrusively or unobtrusively, most of the political parties are demanding death sentence....

Finally, Epic hungerstrike of Anna Hazaree has come to an end, raising hopes in the hearts of masses and leaving veteran bloodsucking politicians pucker- liped, with UPA government bowing to all his major demans over Lokpal Bill. However, developments, erupting in the recent days followed by end of his hunderstike, seems to be conspiring to blow up his firm embankment against corrupt politicians or leaving it a bit porous.  Initially, when Anna Hazaree's hungerstrike started shaking up the slumbering Masses in India and thereafter when the moment started turning into a mass protests around the country, all the political parties seemed to have hibernate somewhere and once the strike came to an end, that hibernation ended and different political parties came with with different views over Hazaree's strike.
