‘I am Anna Hazare’, wake up people.

Anna Hazare, the national icon said that “The government is drunk with power and corruption, it is for the people to make it sober” at the premises of his hunger strike. Thousands clapped at Jantar Mantar where they had gathered for his latest address. In cities across India, demonstrations drew larger numbers than ever before. In Mumbai, students wore caps that said, “I Am Anna Hazare.”
Anna Hazare and a group of social activists have two points on their agenda: they want the government to introduce a new law to serve as “an antibiotic against corruption.” And they want representatives of civil society to be part of the committee that drafts the law. The government agreed to that. But who will head the committee, and its legal status remain points of difference.
The government seems to have been surprised that Anna Hazare’s call to action has resonated so loudly with middle class India. Young school children, waving the tricolour, attend his rallies with parents or teachers. Housewives say they are needed more to campaign for the war against corruption than in their homes. On the internet and on the ground, the support for Anna Hazare is surpassed only by anger and mistrust of politicians.
Come on people, wake up and support our own Anna Hazare for a better and non-corrupt INDIA. We are for and with ANNA HAZARE, ARE YOU?

Let us Institutionalize
By terrorizing beaurocrats thru his Red Brigade, Chairman Mao of China wiped out corruption within months.
But corruption returned within a few months of his death – and how !
Today, China is amongst one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Nothing that is centered on an individual survives for long.
This is why Anna Hazare wants a stringent Jan Lokpal bill so that his anti-corruption crusade gets institutionalized.
Let us further mandate that all mobile phones already sold / to be sold in India, has following built-in “ Speed Dialing “ to connect to local authorities as follows:
# 7……………….. Police
# 8…………………Consumer Protection Cell
# 9………………..Lok-Ayukt
That will enable 780 million mobile owners to knock at the doors of justice within seconds.
[ Sush Jaitly- makesplash.com, suggests making these numbers toll free. ]
Youth of India ! You must take the lead with some out-of-the-box thinking / action.
