Anna Hazare & the Retarded masses - The Death of Logic

With the Hisar bypoll result out - Kuldeep Bishnoi emerges victorious and thanks the voters for supporting his ‘development policies’. The fact is, the only person that deserves his gratitude is Anna Hazare.

Anna Hazare’s movement stems out of the near fatal corruption level that exists in our system, however his recommendations – approach and ideology regarding the Lokpal Bill are full of flaws and destined for a failure, if implemented.

I have no reservations about colluding with Anna on the primary reason, that’s daily corruption which makes a reasonable lifestyle an extremely challenging proposition in this part of the world. However, it is the ideological difference and execution of draft where I see myself pitched against him.

Anna Hazare is a semi literate senior citizen, who is socially unaware of the pace at which the world is changing. His exposure to the world is limited and his experience with the finer things in life is limited (Since he never married and had any wives/children). I do not blame him for his judgment skills and view on issues – since it’s his situation ( or rather lack of being in situations) puts him in a frame of mind with outdated ideas and unrealistic milestones.

The problem of corruption in India is not as simple as ‘Remove Politicians- Punish Government officials’. The public is as guilty as the politicians and the idiots in the Indian masses are following Anna blindly.

The lack of a admirable public figure (also lack of sex & entertainment) ensured that people started wearing Anna caps. 90% of the people wore Anna caps and orchestrated mob demonstrations without even reading the Jan Lokpal bill in detail. For some, it was a plain fashion fad and an opportunity to do something cool or probably have new pictures for a Facebook album. ( Kinda reminds me of MS Dhoni trying to save the tiger online,haha, click on ‘save tiger’ on Facebook and feel good about it while REAL tigers still get poached in Jungles).


Anna Hazare is not the solution to India's problem, he will only make things worse.


We take pride in being the largest democracy in the world and he wants to change that by undermining the respect a Prime Minister's office commands.

As it turns out now, he has sympathies from the right wing parties in India ( The BJP & RSS). He has banned English, Meat & Tobacco and Cable television in his native village and a common punishment is public flogging for violating these. It is ironic he calls himself a modern day Gandhi! That is as progressive as it gets.


His solution asks for Lokayukts (kind of like Law Marshals) in every state that would take up corruption cases ranging from a constable to the Prime Minister. For India about a million of these super cops would be required and considering there would be untouchable by law, corruption is bound to creep into the system. What happens when the untouchable become corrupt? No one answers that.

If he is allowed to have his way, this will be the start of right wing activists forcing their way into tearing a democratic system. This is how Taliban came into power, claiming they will rid the system of corruption (and they did to quite an extent but at other costs).

India has one of the dumbest voter clan and governments get toppled here on issues like onion prices and people blindly follow anyone in these desperate times. Anna Hazare situation is no exception.

It’s not the laws we need, its more educated and sensible people - For example we have Sec 498 (anti dowry law)..The intent is malicious in almost 70% cases, while only about 30% are genuine cases. The law is misused by women to harass and falsely frame the groom's family. Before adopting & enforcing a law like Lokpal ( and imagine a million untouchable Lokpal officers)- we need to realize the possible threat that will emerge from its misuse – It is human nature, power rattles the human brain and this Lokpal Bill does not take that situation into consideration. Remember the time people were being arrested for no reason under TADA?

What about people who steal electricity and we face power cuts because WE pay the bills and THEY don't. I am sick of the power cuts because of these thieves that live among us, more than corruption - the power cuts at night affect my life ! And yeah, the Jan Lokpal Bill does not include corruption of these sorts that is deep rooted in Indian masses; we just love blaming politicians for everything.
Include the public as chargeable/one of the guilty parties in the Lokpal - Someone trying to PAY bribe gets the same punishment as the government official - then it makes sense.

EXAMPLE - If a traffic cop pulls you over, writes you a 1000 Rupee ticket for using mobile while driving (honestly does his job), would you quietly pay 1000 or *think* if something can be arranged for 300 ? The problem lies inside our own heads.

If corruption is a problem, STOP voting on the basis of caste/race and religion. We ourselves, choose to vote these ministers to power and then claim there is corruption, the answer lies in voting the right people - not rooting for Anna.

Don’t vote for Congress if you don’t like the candidate. But don’t vote against congress just because Anna Says so ! You are indirectly helping another corrupt candidate come into power. Anna is stupid, you don’t have to be.
