Anti-Corruption Drive

Difficult to say where the demonstrations in favour of Anna Hazare are going, but it’s incredible to see large sections of the (young) population mobilized to the extent that it is. There are spontaneous demonstrations up and down the streets and at the railway stations. 

There’s valid concern that whatever bill is created is created through the parliamentary system, flaws, warts and all.

Saw a short documentary on Anna Hazare yesterday. Quite incredible what he has accomplished in his life in terms of helping farmers to re-irrigate their land etc.
