The people of India are looking forward to this independence day with great optimism, as they are about to witness a change in the system, thanks to the agitation by led by Anna Hazare against the corrupt political class.
I am sure most people in India will be eager to listen to Anna's address rather than the PM's this independence day. It does not matter whether you listen to PM's speech delivered today or the one five years back. They are always the same. They can very well be substituted with a tape recorder.
The most constructive element of our system has not been the legislature, judiciary or executive, it has been people like Anna. Anna has shown how villages can be transformed, how a "welfare state" can work. He has been instrumental in pushing the RTI act - due to which we are seeing many cases of corruption being exposed. Now, through Jan Lokpal Bill he is trying to make corruption a punishable offense and establish mechanisms to achieve the same. The people see a definite plan in his actions. He has been a person who has delivered in bringing about the change.
It is only the so-called intellectuals, who keep on pointing to scriptures and law books or useless statistics; for they have lost the ability to think by themselves. They obstruct justice by pointing to laws. The laws were made by humans like us, they are not divine. They need to be corrected as per the needs of the society. Laking courage, these intellectuals submitted themselves to the whims and fancies of the pseudo-democratic dynastic regimes, and the anarchy that came along with it. By spreading skepticism or discouraging obstructing the ones who are trying to do something constructive, they have made the situation worse.
However, unlike the intellectuals, the common man, I think, is able to see the larger picture and that is why there is huge support for Anna and great optimism that it will lead us on the right path !
Jai Hind !!
