"One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests."
Anna Hazare the main crusader for India's fight against corruption is fighting a major battle against a system and the Indian politicians who appear to be perpetuators of this corrupt system. All kind of rhetoric is being resorted to and his movement is many a times being referred to as being anti constitution, anti Parliament, anti democracy and what not. To a normal citizen it appears to be a wait and watch game and the politicians by and large are hoping that the movement will die down with the passage of time. Lok Pal institution if properly constituted with sincerity, honesty of purpose and a real concern for the nation and its poor masses can provide an embryo to the end of corruption and black money menace which is vigorously pulling down India's march towards development, inclusive growth and socio economic cum political empowerment of the Indian citizenry. But who cares? Certainly not the politicians.
The movement for an effective Lok Pal and ending corruption must go on with utmost vigour and strength and that is the most sincere appeal to the poor, deprived brothers and sisters of India who want to live prosperously with self esteem and dignity in the near foreseeable future. The guys in power do not deserve any sympathy or cooperation for they fit into Mahatma Gandhi's thought "For me every ruler is alien who defies public opinion".
'No doubt the task is very difficult, dangerous and demanding particularly when the government is wrong 'rightly said by none other than Voltaire but it is certainly worth your while when we realise what the results can be. Every where in this world the political class is the same and the following wise quote is applicable to them all the time.
Politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and for the same reason. ~José Maria de Eça de Queiroz, translated from Portuguese
