India has glorious history of dedication and patriotism. We are lucky to have men like Shahid Bhagat singh and Mahatma Gandhi, borned in our country. The fundamental thing which differentiates these men from rest of the others is their true unselfish thinking…action for the cause, without expecting name, fame or money.

The era we are living today is the era, which demands selfishness. If you want to achieve remarkable success, you need to break rules, you need to have relations, you need to find shortcuts..which is possible if you are empowered with money….some may differ on this, they will claim that they have succeeded through honest hardwork…this is really appreciable..but just notice, I have used ‘remarkable’ success in that sentence…and I am sure if the succeeded persons are at some position now, they would have reached still higher if they were a part of transparent system ! No wonder we find lots of undeserving people at the positions where they are not expected to be !!

I think students are the direct victims of corruption, because this is the stage where the consequences have direct impact on the future functional population of the nation. This stage decides how the genuine talent will be used in development of the country..Or it will be wasted due to fatal corruption to prefer a rich nondeserving!!

So as you might have guessed, this is related to India against corruption! This is not new for us…at some or the other point we had faced consequences of it. And we were helpless; we could not do anything apart from cursing the system, only to face further consequences in the future. Remember this point “WE WERE HELPLESS, WE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING APART FROM CURSING THE SYSTEM” !!

The problem all these years was lack of such a figure to lead mass movement against unchecked corruption ! As I already said, it’s hard to have such unselfish men (like those in the past) to lead this most needed movement, even they are honest..It’s even harder that all of the population will believe their honesty and their motives…so there will always be significant lack of support. Corruption is prevailing, just because of lack of counter attack. It’s a vicious cycle..In which power of these corrupt people is growing and most important, it is transferable to their progeny, keeping in mind, the fact that a politician produces a politician son and rich father produces rich son…corrupt mentality is a gift to their progeny…and the resources are provided in the form of money and political power... look at the govt.’s lokpal…All the "MPs" will not be covered under it...Means what?? They are the only suckers.. MPs, in my area, which are like rodents... Just look at major scams in recent times..Can you imagine, these would not be covered by govt’s lokpal !!

Attempts have been made since 1980s to check abuse of political power !! Right to information act is classic example. Anna hazare was trying for it since 90s, and succeeded in bringing it to action. Why few people are not in favor of strong lokpal…?? At the age of 60-70, these people have not much time left to show their corruptive power, but they want to make sure that, their set up for their progeny should not be under the scrutiny. I won’t request you to support the movement, because I have explained you something..I know people are intelligent, and they can comprehend this issue…I am just clearing up the things. I have gone through both versions of lokpal…and I know even minor who had faced corruption at basic levels would support Anna’s version (as everybody is supporting).

Now there are two issues..First: few people think that, it would be an insult of parliament. How can few people make law outside the parliament??..Remember that point “WE WERE HELPLESS, WE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING APART FROM CURSING THE SYSTEM”.. Remember that even this version of lokpal was drafted only after Anna’s fast…that means they would have done nothing, if Anna wouldn’t have initiated the movement. It’s like, if someone is robbing our property or insulting our ladies ,then we should not do anything, because we are not police…is it like that?? This is no way an unlawful act…they are not making any law against society..they have majority on their side…if few people have problem because of this issue, then they should carry out legal procedure, accept the people’s lokpal and make the laws in parliament itself…so issue is only to bringing the people’s lokpal, they are not willing to show their power…they are least bothered about the way how it is brought…they simply want to bring it…

Second issue is, why should people trust Anna and his team ?? Giving full respect to people’s intelligence and their suspicious nature…I am not asking them to trust team Anna !! I am asking them to support for a cause ! Why the people are not able to see forward?? Just consider the end result…a strong lokpal will be in action because of their huge support…no matter who was leading the protest ! If they still has an issue with it, then it means that they have issue with the lokpal itself…in that case they should themselves go through the drafts..And I am sure, there will be no need to make their minds, they will be convinced with that !!

At the end, I am from Maharashtra, and have been witnessing Anna’s work since childhood...There’s no doubt about honesty of this man...Few people if have problem with this man, please consider the CAUSE only, its transparent and exactly the most needed thing...At least the team Anna has all the intelligent heads, who were class 1 officers..You can go through Anna’s work on Wikipedia..And if you think wiki is user edited, then check govt. website regarding history of right to information act !!
So I kindly request every citizen to support the movement (if not Anna) on august 16th, 2011…student’s union has vital role to play …youth of India should take this seriously…jai hind !!
Thanks !!
