Who says Gandhigiri is not practical? Anna Hazare shows the way.

Hi Sidharth, your comments are acceptable.No one is perfect not even Mahatma Gandhi but he took action.He did not sit and draw up elaborate plans to see if it will work. He was a man of action and before the Indian freedom struggle he had taken up so many projects and he began with himself. He chose to improve himself first and he shared with others what experiments he conducted on himself. You are so right , I don't have a vision , I am plodding along helplessly. And what about you ? Do you have a vision and are you acting on your plan ? Anna is not perfect but he is asking questions and he wants answers.We need answers because our needs are far bigger than Anna's wants.He has no personal belongings other than his clothes and a cot to sleep on.He could be wrong but when so many people are joining him the right path will open up, don't worry.Like they say, luck favors the brave. and he is BRAVE. Take the trouble to see what his team is saying.People like Arvind Kejriwal, Bhushan Kian Bedi...

Wow! I am surprised when you guessed my name right Yes, if you have been to my profile you would haveknown that I am suffering from some ailments, and am mostly at home. But still, within my capacity, I am doing some small steps towards educating people - I am associated with an orphanage and spend at least a sunday with the children.I too have a vision of a corrupt free India no doubt but I am sure you would agree that corruption exists here only because people (the masses) are unemployed, illiterate and poor. This is what I was suggesting about above. The Lokpal Bill or whatever steps they take to drive away corruption, will never be practical solution unless these vices are removed from the society. Annaji and others might be right but... if we think how far will the common man - not the affluents or posh community from Mumbai, Delhi and a few named cities - benefit from this Lokpal Bill I think the number will be quite less as at end, the implementors of this bill too would be bureaucrats. Mere Questions never help out unless the solutions are perfect. This is why I dont support Anna or his cause or even anyone who thinks or merely seeks questions and believes that this will in fact wipe out corruption. If it did, US, Japan and many other developed countries would have been corruption free. The telecast of their actions on the TV, publications on the Newspapers etc. are all for mere TRPs and nothing for real need. And when it comes to manhours wasted, there are millions who are glued to these and forget their work. How and why should I accept this? I see it is a national loss nothing for gains. And yes, thanks for being polite in your response. I did not accept this as on other related discussions, I read people feeling bad about my opinion. This is why I mentioned I would not return back here... but when I did, I found a pleasant and open discussion.Hope lotters understood that ponts of views and opinions differ and everyone was moreopen like you when it came to acceptance.

Sid, This is a discussion forum but people tend to argue. Then there is thing called 'Star reputation'. We all are scared to lose our star reputation.But it is good in a way it keeps out the rude and the loutish crowd. We all want to get rid of corruption and a saint is showing the way. you will realize by the end of this month.

ok, if they feel investigating the PM may be dangerous what si wrong in investigating the astronomical growth of a scrap metal merchant who goes by the name of Robert wadhra who happens to be married to a certain Priyanka Ga...This guy has joined the list of billionaires in just 10 years.They have too many skeletons in their cupboard.
