Anna & The People

The strength of a country lies in its people. Power of the people, the power of common man cann't be neglected. One such common man is Anna Hazare, a social activist who stood boldly against the Government of India against the corruption in the country.

Anna Hazare put forth strong anti corruption rules which Government didn't agree to, the Government version of Lokpal bill a joke, an eye wash attempt to curb corruption. Anna Hazare with few more volunteers proposed Jan Lokpal Bill, stringent rules against corruption. Anna declared 'will fast unto death' and began his fast, day by day the news spread across the Country and to the World, people who weren't aware of Lokapl bill or Anna got to know him and since the cause he was fighting for was their main concern too, they came out to support him in full. Clearly people were angry on Politicians and were fed up of corruption spread everywhere in the country. They just didn't know what to do stop it where to start with they needed some one to lead them way, a leader, there came Anna who showed path. A path which can curb corruptions be it a peon, officer,strong politician irrespective of there occupations and their rank of post they hold, rule is rule for everyone and the corrupt surely be punished.

Since politicians can't function in such clean environment rather would say wouldn't function obviously didn't welcome Anna's proposal, they resisted it but at last they had to bow as it wasn't only Anna's dream or need it was what billion Indians wanted, a clean India. As people each day joined to stand against corruption and came out on streets to support Anna both in India and abroad pressure began to build on Government and they had to consider the new proposal made for Lokpal bill after all it is Government of the people. India's democracy came out to be seen, the present generation had just read it in books and papers that India is democratic never seen it function as one, nice to see it practical in our life.

The contribution of social media was immense, as nowadays people are more connected the word spread in lighting speed and people were glad that some one has atlast stood and something can be done to rule out corruption. People assembled and young generation, school kids were out there shouting slogans against Government. This whole event the fight of people against Government is just a start, an effective bill must be drafted and passed, put to function and make the society corruption free that is the real win and is what all Indians dream of, minus most politicians, business tycoons and Government employees but on the whole it is the excellent start. Everybody wanted corrupt free environment but none attempted to act or failed to act, with this historic event we all have made a good start, better late than never. We got to clean up the mess we are in, so that we have better country to live in and to present it to the younger generation.
