Is The Fight So Easy??

The 'relay hunger strike' of Anna Hazare, and his ideas, strength & his fight for a corruption-free India has definitely made him a hero among the citizens of India, especially among the youngsters, whom he gave a direction and the so-called inspiration to live their lives with a motive. A motive of not only to search jobs or settle down in business to earn a living for them and their families and secure their future, but also to speak for their rights and even fight for them under odd circumstances. A motive to plan a secure and a bright future not only for them but also for this NEW-YOUNG-INDIA.

But as I suppose, this hunger strike part was a bit easy one. Why do we expect the Parliament to vote for such a bill if Hazare is right in saying that "many of the members of this group of Ministers have such a shady past that if effective anti-corruption systems had been in place some of them would have been behind the bars."
These politicians raise their economic situations a lot after entering the politics, expand their business and use the public fund for their own personal benifits. A/c to the statistics, UP is probably worse then the rest of the country.
What do we expect from the Parliament, when more than half of the members are likely to go behind the bars if any such bill gets passed?
We all know that the elections are expensive. Around Rs.5 crores were expended in an election and that for a seat in one of the poorest states of the country. But here, the ideal question is.. where this money comes from?
A newspaper was quoted as saying- "Legislators are expected by their parties to do their best to raise money through Extra-LEGAL means, both for themselves, and their more squeamish colleagues. Is it so surprising then that some of the money ended up in their pockets?"
Is it not correct?

As I mentioned earliar that the hunger strike part was a bit easier, because Anna himself is now been accused of some public sayings and some forgotten details. A/c to an Inquiry Report of 2005, Hazare had been found guilty of corruption, as he spent Rs. 2.2 lakhs of the Hindu Swaraj Trust, headed by him, on a birthday party. Ofcourse it was wrong. But does that make him a corrupt leader all through his life?  Would it be correct to call him a 'fraud' for the rest of his life?
Secondly, Hazare admitted that "The ordinary voter does not have awarenes... they don't understand the value of their vote." This might give an impression that he is a firm believer that India should not be a democracy. But if we think otherwise, is he lying? Aren't the voters being taken away by offering them gifts?

The fight against such corruption is not easy... infact the fight against the Group Of these Political Leaders is not easy. This is where the people of India are required to take up a Motive. A Motive to come forward and raise their voices against the injustice that is being inferred upon us by some Politically Incorrect people. Ofcourse, fight for the rights doesn't mean one should go out to the streets and fight or sit down for a strike everytime. All I mean to say is that  we all can contribute a lot by standing together in such high times and moreover, let us make more and more people be aware of the situations(at least), in whatever way we can.
I am doing my part..... What are you doing today?

THE NEW AGE INDIA



The Anna Hazare Movement continued slowly and gradually, unnoticed. But soon it bacame a bite for everyone's mouth including public and media. News, "Hazare announcing his fast" spread rapidly to every city, town and village. News within hours became a public event. People from all over the country protested against the "Jan Lok Pal Bill". They critised the authorities walking with the candles over the streets, forwarding sms and expressing their support to the movement against corruption. It all seems to be what people must have dreamt over the past years and decades, that is "Raising their voices against Corruption". The reason that I've mentioned it as a dream is that this time the crowd was peacefull, well-behaved and not a single violent incident was reported. Infact, rather than a dream I should call it as a "Beautifull Dream" that has now shown its worth in reality. The whole Movement was actually "respectable". This time students, doctors and people from the middle classes came forward to sit with an elderly man who was willing to die for them.


"The 'Sab Neta Chor Hain' mentality is dangerous. A country that hates its elected politicians soon begin to hate democracy itself." - A well quoted line by a tabloid.


"Anna Hazare Movement is not against Corruption but a kind of Democracy that is a closed shop of tycoons and family scions"







Not to forget the "Jessica Murder Case" which is yet another example where the general public showed its worth and criticised the Jurisdiction marching with candles at India Gate and all over the streets, forwarded messages via emails and sms and stood together for justice.
No doubt, that in both these cases media played a vital role in spreading awareness about the issues and the current state of the country, acting as a third party between the government and the general public.
Yes this is a Beautiful Dream which each single cell in the country dreams of. That is:
                                             "Clean, Educated and Democratic India"
We can say that the Golden Bird is at the Verge of spreading its Wings.




Who is Anna Hazare?
Anna Hazare (full name: Kisan Bapat Baburao Hazare) is a soldier, lone survivor in his unit in the 1965 Indo-Pak war, Anna dedicated his life to the well being of the society. He is especially recognized for his contribution to the development of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra and his efforts for establishing it as a model village. He is a bachelor, with no possessions, no bank balance and lives in a temple. He has fasted on several earlier occasions to dismiss the corrupt ministers and officers.

What is the Jan Lokpal Bill ?
The Jan Lokpal bill is a draft anti-corruption bill which will have the power to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission. The Jan Lokpal Bill is designed to create an effective anti-corruption and grievance redressal systems and to assure that an effective deterrent is created against corruption and to provide effective protection to whistleblowers.
The bill was drafted by Justice Santosh hegde, Prashant bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal.
The salient features of Jan Lokpal bill:
  • An institution called Lokpal at the centre and Lokayukta in each state will be setup.
  • Like supreme court and Election commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.
  • Cases against corrupt people will not go on for years. In any case, the investigation has to be completed within a year.
  • The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
  • If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.
  • What happens if the Government appoints corrupt people as Lokpal members? – That wont be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and authorities through a completely transparent process.
  • What if some Lokpal members becomes corrupt? – That wont be possible because the entire functioning of the Lokpal will be transparent.

NATURAL CALAMITIES- do they kill us or their feeling??!!

The fury of nature is beyond human comprehension & that is why, the science of prediction is non-existent when it comes to natural disasters. The best example would be the recent disaster that had been inferred upon by the nature in Japan. Undoubtedly, it has created a chaos in the country but what about the minds of the people in different countris??!! Are We really feeling SAFE?? Have We just limited ourselves to sympathy or with a thought to provide aids to Japan?? Doesn't the thought that what we do if the same happens to us, strike our minds? don't We people wonder that "ARE WE REALLY SAFE??
The fact is, today each and everyone is concerned about his/her safety and ofcourse of their families. 
Researchers at the Institute of Geomatics -- Research Centre of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the Government of Catalonia -- have estimated the ground deformation suffered in the area of Sendai, Japan, as a consequence of the earthquake of March 11, 2011 and its aftershocks. The estimate was derived from radar observations acquired by the Envisat satellite of the European Space Agency. According to this estimate, obtained over an area of approximately 300 x 100 km around the city of Sendai, the terrain has suffered a co-seismic deformation -- permanent deformation of Earth's surface -- associated with the earthquake of up to 1.69 m.






That is why as "Japan picks up the pieces after devastation, the disturbing pictures push us to take the stock of the situation back home" a well quoted line by a newspaper. In India the biggest threat of such calamities lies in all the metro cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Banglore and Kolkata. What would happen if Earthquakes, Tsunamies or other such disasters spread their wings in India?? Are We really prepared?? Lost Lives, Thirst & Hunger, Searching lost near & dear ones, looking for Shelter, irrepairable Damages to the Homes and mostly to the Hearts. This actually leads us all to the situation where one wonders that what kills us more.... NATURAL DISASTERS, THEIR IMPACT OR THEIR FEELING??
