The uprising .... is not sudden... The frustration was deep down in every citizen...It's only now, when Anna raised his voice and became a public figure, even we realise that it's the high time, we should let the volcano inside us erupt. Let our "chalta hai" attitude take a backseat for sometime and support this man to bring about the change for us,for our nation and for the generations to come, so that we have an opprtunity to breath in a corrupt free nation....... so that we don't have to bribe some babu to get our marriage certificate done,so that we don't have to bribe hospital staff to get the birth certificate for our kids, so that nobody in the future dares to corrode our society with something as dirty as corruption......
Our cynicism is no longer going to help us. Anna is an exemplar of how, irrespective of having people 'like us' around him, has not lost hope and is keeping his spirits high.He is out there to make a difference. Even though we have lost our ability or rather motivation to change our lives, there is a man out there who is not ready to give up... who makes us realise by his every action that it's our right to fight against corruption.
We have different visions of 'our dream India'... The basic step towards it has already been taken.Let's support him by all our means... It might not be a win but at least it would show those corrupt people out there that we stand together with this man in his fight-or rather our fight!! Let's take a pledge to not pay bribe to start with, no matter what.... It might take our little extra time/money/effort but would definitely save our kids from paying hundred such bribes in times to come.
And as Larry Gelbart rightly says,
" I think one of the byproducts of the communications explosion is a sort of 'corruption fatigue.' We've lost our ability to be shocked or enraged by the machinations of politicians. We've been battered with such frequency that we've become indifferent. We're punch drunk with scandal."
Let us not be indifferent any more and stand beside Anna and prove that when it comes to protecting India we are all together.It's high time- we can't be puppets at the hands of these wicked politicians who rule us and make fool of us. The Indianism seen on a World cup finale or India-Pak match is required at this juncture.
Because, in the end...it's neither about Anna nor about Jan Lokpal Bill... it is about us and our nation....
Jai Hind!!!!!
