I am Anna !! But am I right ?

Not very long ago India has noticed one of the biggest protest against the government after the Independence. And again its an old man with his hunger strike bringing men and women together to raise their voices against corruption in the country.

Here we have a 75 year old man, who now has become the face of the nation and amazingly has become an idol for the youth of the nation.

"I am Anna" says the Gandhi caps that the youth of India have sitting on their heads while the country puts together an anti corruption protest.

Looks like the Jan Lokpal is here to stay, but the question is will it really be the magic wand that all of us are expecting it to be ?

The effectiveness of the bill can be ignored here as it is better to try out something rather than sitting and hoping for things to improve, and this is my reason to support Jan Lokpal, but the methods are still something I am not sure of.

How correct is it to force the government to pass a bill in the way its been forced upon them ? Does this movement open up an opportunity for the corrupt and the evil to make use of public support to do bad to the country ?

Although team Anna here are pretty reliable in terms of their work and intentions, some questions on the methodology behind the movement can be raised.

Its great to have such large number of people ready to fight it out for the betterment of the country but it is also very very important to respect the constitution that is in place and keep our support only after we have thought of the positives and negatives alike.

All said, the movement did indicate that we as Indians still are ready to strive hard to make our country a better place to live in and the peace full nature of the movement indicated that there is a deep thought behind every person joining the movement, this makes me feel that we as Indians are wide awake to whats happening in the country and our steps are well thought of.

A big JAI HO !! to Anna and team and to the masses who have supported them.
I am not sure how far this will go in terms of making India a corruption free country but the efforts are valiant and deserve a JAI HO !! for all of us.
