TWO POWERFUL WORDS CREATED MASS AWAKENING IN INDIA.

When Ghandiji gave a call for freedom for India from one end of the county, the people from the other end of India got erupted in euphoria only by listening the word FREEDOM. This word was enough for the entire population of India to raise its voice against British dadagiri and rally behind Ghandiji because people were hungry for Freedom. In this single word Freedom the entire Indian population got united for their common cause.

Similarly, now when Anna Hazare gave a call with one word ”CORRUPTION” to fight against Corruption from Delhi, the entire India got up in support to Anna Hazare’s campaign against rampant corruption going on in India. The government of India under Congress rule is responsible for hiding Lokpal Bill since the time of Nehru’s premiership thereby encouraging corruption in India. Poor and middle class of Indians are become more victims of corruption in India. Every Indian now feels that it is his duty to support Anna Hazare for this reason demonstrations started in every part of India in support of Anna Hazare’s movement. This is just a beginning. Such movement took place only once in India during the freedom movement under Ghandiji during the British Raj.

In a Hitlerian manner Anna Hazare was arrested from his residence giving an impression that Anna is a threat to the security of India just as it was done for JP in 1975 by the same Congress government under the dictatorship of Indira Gandhi. And now just within a few hours Anna was released. What a shame on Indian Congress government administration! To defame Annaji, Cong government said many things bad of Anna but this same and shameless Government had no shame to negotiate with him. If Anna was bad then why the hell this government of India discussed with him the details of Lokh Pal Bill? If Anna was bad then why the Government of India went to Anna like beggar to plead with him to withdraw from his fast, first of all?

In his release and withdrawing his detention I noticed another Hitler in making in Nehru family, that is Rahul Gandhi. As given to understand, at the behest of Rahul Gandhi, Anna Hazare was released. Though it is very good decision which I applaud on one side but on the other side I see an all powerful Rahul Gandhi at this young age not only in Congress but also in Government. It looks his word is final where no dissent is accepted. He made the entire government an idiot because of the idiotic action taken by the Indian government in a Hitlerian manner in wrongly arresting Anna Hazare when he at the time of his arrest did not commit any breach of law. I only hope in the future Rahul Ghandi’s absolute power will not corrupt him absolutely like that of his grandmother and Uncle because it is said “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. If his absolute power helps him to do well, it is ok. Otherwise I am afraid he may turn into another dictator Indira Ghandhi.

People’s power is already awakened in India. Just on the advice of Ghandiji students stopped going for schools and colleges to support Ghandiji’s call against British rule so also students boycotted their institutions to support Anna’s call for his campaign against corruption. Anna is the mouthpiece of every Indian opposing corruption in India. The youth in India in unison must support Hanna Hazare’s movement because they stand to gain more of this movement. Their good future lies into the hands of corruption free India.

From the current trends I am sure Government of India will come crawling to Anna’s feet for reconciliation otherwise the masses in India will revolt not only against Congress Party but also against the Government of India. The movement Ana Hazare leading now is for the second freedom, freedom from internal suppression done on every Indian by the government machinery thru the mode of corruption. Thru first freedom we got rid of colonial power from India and thru second freedom we must get rid of internal corruption which makes the privileged class richer and underprivileged class poorer.

I support Anna Hazare’s movement.
