Lokpal: New road ahead

"Indians are poor but India is not a poor country. Anna Hazare says that '280 lac crore' of Indian money is deposited in swiss banks which can be used for 'taxless' budget for 30 years. Can give 60 crore jobs to all Indians. From any village to Delhi 4 lane roads. Forever power supply to more than 500 specials projects. Every citizen can get monthly 2000/- for 60 years. No need of World Bank and IMF loan. Think how our money is blocked by rich politicians. We have full right against corrupt politicians."

No wonder everyone is overwhelmed with the way things turned up. Great moment to be proud of for every Indian and it again proved that "Gandhigiri" is the 'shiv'.
When this all started i was oblivious (though not completely: :) ) as of what exactly is "Lokpal bill". Has been hearing it for so many years but never digg deep into it. But yes this time i tried to know about this bill which steered whole nation into one. LOKPAL BILL and its Catalysts.

The other side of me has always been greatly influenced with Bollywood and all this movement reminded me of "Rang de Basanti", "lage Raho Munnabhai" and very recently "No one killed Jessica" to an extent.

Gandhiji might have used 'Padyatra' to spread his message but our Anna Hazare was more privileged to be in this era of 'Social and digital media'. Facebook and Twitter should declare this week as "Anna week". Google should put its search engine image with Anna pics for this week. There was nothing but support for Anna everywhere.
Voila!!! what an enthusiasm and what we achieved....

At my native place, i have seen that whenever a new road is constructed the residents start building their own road breakers so that the vehicles doesn't have so smooth and fast ride. They might have reasons for safety.
Similarly with this new road for Lokpal bill there will come many bumps/road breakers but definitely this wont have reasons for safety.
Excuse me if i sound skeptic but this is the way we Indians are. Every new beginning doesn't ride a smooth run.
Many questions come to my mind:
  • Was the Government so scared or humble to accept all demands within few hours after being inert for almost three days?
  • Was the government so humble and honest that it went over and above to accept every demand?
  • Will this become an 'Election agenda' for all the coming elections and in future? Will this be spared of getting politicized?
  • Democracy has taken a new 'Avatar' today but will it be clean and clear in future too?

Government has agreed to pass this bill but keep your fingers crossed for 'monsoon session' of "dangal"..Ooops!!! of Parliament.

Let's hope that 9th April 2011 becomes a "New Uprising".
