Do I agree with Anna???????

If anyone will be hated by the middle class intelligentia today more than any thing thinkable is someone who does not agree with Anna. You are either with him or against the nation….Slightest hint of disagreement to any Annaism will make you a deshdrohi and some who is corrupt to the core..Even my wife gives me those looks “you are not the same anymore” & You have changed J

It gives me a very bad feeling and I have started doubting myself; am I jjust simply jealous or as generally friends tell I like to go against the mass feeling (They say It gives me a highJ ). I tried to analyze and put people/teams in broad buckets who are against the nation..

1. Rahul Baba & Madam followers- They don’t have a choice, if You are opposing me I have to oppose you. Led by the super intelligent Mr spokesperson and a certain Mr X who sees RSS behind everything were the ones who helped polarize the situation. I am super impressed by their logic “ I am bad but you are too and to add you are worst so you cannot blame me”, Reminds me of the song –pahla patthar who mare jissne paap na kiya ho , jo paapi na ho”. These I think were the main culprits who created the atmosphere where everyone disagreeing with Anna was painted with the same brush.

2. Alternate Civil society- The civil society cocooned and patronized by the baba and madam. I sometimes wonder with so many civil society representatives who represents me L. This class realized and woke up to reality that Anna has taken the sail out of their winds and started representing the English speaking/secular liberal class which till now was the sole birth right of them. So mid way that they suddenly came out with their version of magic pill to cure the country of corruptions. This calls basically comprises of two sects- the govt supported civil society which helps them formulate “people “ friendly policy and the pro naxal activists on hire who supported violent and blood revolutions and all non national activities but find Anna and their demands undemocratic and unconstitutional.

3. Oppose because that’s what I want to know- This is the most informed opponents who oppose because it’s something which is in their blood. Reasons for opposing could be anything:

a. Singing Vande matram whics is not as per a particular religion
b. Wearing of gnadhi cap
c. You propose I oppose- led by a flip flop female chief minister and a erstwhile scam tainted cm from Bihar
I was also by some put under this category but believe you me I am not

4. And the left over people like us who oppose it because am not convinced how another bill or structure will be able to end corruption. This is another layer in any way a super fat bureaucracy. What is there in this which ensures that this is non corruptible. Don’t we have enough supervisory bodies the cvc/cbi of this world existing . I do agree with the basis and fundamental principle of freeing our investigative agencies from politicians and bureaucrats . But what is being proposed is that you replace the current policemen with a new one . Isn’t in a form adding another parallel policemen and praying and believing that thou will be the pillar of honesty…I am in principle agreement with what is being asked but am not ok with:
a. How it is being asked?
b. All that is being asked?I still believe in democratic ways of achieving what we have set out to achieve, what it needs is showing the same passion and commitment when it the time to vote. One vote has a lot of power and impact. Its high time we realize that power and work for it. Corruption will not end by a law or a body it will end only when “we” want it to end and we stopped being part of it ………………………
