India is buzzing right now. All thanks to Anna Hazare who's caught the imagination of the people of India, along with the changes he wants to make, to make India a better place.
Anna Hazare is a social activist who today, is walking the Gandhian path, to try and bring about a much needed change in our corrupt political system. He's fasting till death, if need be, to bring a change in a proposed bill which just might end corruption in India forever.
Now I am not someone who understands the fine print of all this political or social jargon. But I do understand that something big is unfolding here. People are up and ready to support his cause and seem to be speaking in the same voice for a change. They all want to see the change that he is talking about.
We Indians normally have a chalta hai attitude when it comes to moving our butt. We're mostly talk, with very little action, especially when it comes down to brass tacks. But for now people seem to be really tuned in to all that he is saying, wanting a change and ready to do whatever it takes to get it.
He's making the headlines, trending on all social networking sites, is the most important piece of news. He's got the whole country talking about it.....for now!
Being a skeptic though I wonder if we Indians can sustain this crusade. In just over 36 hours the IPL will start. Will we still be concerned? Or will this be a forgotten story? Only time will tell if indeed we have what it takes to say......Yes We Can!

Thank God...they are not able to strike a bargain with the five primordial elements in Nature. Otherwise, only the corrupted ones will go on generating their genes. A true leader need not sit on a throne, but being daring and focused, people like Anna Hazare is just a perfect example of leadership. We can eradicate corruption completely but efforts can and should be taken to minimize it. Well written.
ReplyDelete@cyclopseven : If all of us collectively try it is not impossible but it all depends on how strong the will of the people is. Thanks so much :)
