We are Anna Hazare.Are we really?
Smoke is clear now.Salutation to esprit de corps of old gandhian Anna Hazare(Kisan Baburao Hazare) from Ralegan Siddhi ,his supporters especially to Arvind Kejriwal,Kiran Bedi and Manish Sisodia and to all the Indians who stood heart and soul in support of Anna for twelve days.Millions of kudos to Anna for the task which requires tons of willpower and confidence.Anna has played his part towards an extent,a patriotic soul can do for his country.Three of the main demands of Jan Lokpal Bill Implementation of Citizens' charter,bringing the lower bureaucracy under the lokpal and appointment of Lokayuktas in all states are accepted by both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha by thumping the desks "the sense of House" to hold over the issues.In brief Saturday was quiet meaningful for most of the Indians.
I can see uncommon shine of satisfaction over the face of Anna even after a fast of twelve days and why not,he has brought home the bacon from the hands of depraved ones'.But why this "shine of satisfaction" is absent from the faces of most us.Why can't everyone in our society confidently say,"Yes,I haven't bribed the in RTO office for registration of new driving licence for me.Yes,I haven't missed a ticket in bus or train a single time".Why only few people like Anna Hazare come forward and lead the way.The answer is as simple as question.Because corruption resides in our souls as usual as feeling of hate or love for someone.This is the dominating nature of human being to belt along the most profitable condition or entity possible.Those who were able to maintain the patience even in most difficult times,have also conquered the hearts of others.Those people can be put in catagory of Anna Hazare.On the other side of coin most of us always used to bother about petty things,"Why not to give bribe if it the concerned task is not that simple".
Life saga of Anna Hazare is not a fantasy.He has got ahead even in the most horrible conditions.Life has taught him so much.Anna had six younger siblings and his family faced significant hardships.He has felt the death from very near two times in his lifespan.It is not that simple to say,"I am Anna Hazare".
Now a big question for me and you,"Were we serious enough about corruption all the time before this event,before Anna shook our souls from his grave phonation".
It is not first time the issue of an anti-corruption campaign or bill has been raised.First Lokpal bill has been brought in 1968.It has been passed in Lok Sabha but demoted in Rajya Sabha.First version of Lokpal bill as drafted by government considered ineffective by members of Civil Society.On 5th April 2011 a Gandhian called "Anna Hazare" announced to go on indefinite fast in support of a strong Lokpal bill.Then Government however accepted it.However no consensus can be reached due to several differences between opinions of Anna and Government.Anna Hazare called for a "Jail bharo aandolan".
A joint drafting commitee of five member was created by Government to take Jan Lokpal bill in consiuderation as proposed by Anna and team.Commitee failed to come on a conclusion and presented Goverment's own version of Lokpal bill which was much weaker in comparison of Anna's Jan Lokpal bill.
Once again Anna started fast.Agitation against Government started in India.
Finally result is before our eyes.Had we done anything specific from our side except shouting slogans and marching in a rally in between.
The man who has never supported corruption in his life can only take such a big initiative.Have we thought ever,what is the root cause of corruption?
I think if we would have been thought ever,there'd been no specific "Anna" to show us a way for the removal of corruption.The solution was always there.The root cause lies in ours itself.
One who empathizes and applies the solution to him/herself first becomes "Anna Hazare".
