हजारे के साथ हजारों .....

When Anna Hazare tried to raise his voice against corruption the government tried to forcefully stop him by counter attacking and at last sent him to the jail .But the homework done by Anna and his team made the Indians realized that the old man is fighting for their cause and lakhs of people came out and protested seeing this the government have to reverse the arrest orders .

The USP of this movement in my opinion is that there is no political party  involved and this shows how Aam aadmi is keen to remove corruption which is said to be destroying the country as cancer does to the human body.Anna owes a great deal to his detainees the labels like 'second freedom struggle' and 'murder of democracy' ,Indeed ,after the government was foolish enough to chain the messiah of public morality.Mr. Hazare  is the potent symbol of public rage and frustration.

It is strongly believe that corruption is the root cause of inadequate development .The entire political class ,including the opposition ,is responsible for the public's cynicism .How can the class which takes money/bribe for simply asking a question in Parliament ,give us a lok pal the country deserve?Most of the citizen adore this corrupt system because of there laziness and coltish nature .

The government machinery and think tanks who would have used the time and energy in discussions how to make jan lokpal properly implemented are now forced to waste time in how to stop the agitation and save their face.

Main bhi Anna, tu bhi Anna, ab toh saara desh hai Anna.

                                                        


Anna Hazare and middle class India are synonym now .Any word uttered against the crusader Mr Hazare will be taken as statement against 50 million and fastest growing middle class of India who are now showing there power to the world by protesting peacefully in India .Countries like Japan and UK also had protests in favour of Anti corruption crusader.


Kisan Baburao Hazare is an activist who has been recognised for his work in developing and structuring his village Ralegan Siddhi.The government of India honoured the activist in 1992 by awarding him a Padma Bhushan award, but nine years later, the population of India has termed Hazare ‘Desh Ka Naya Gandhi’ for his successful campaign against corruption and his demand for a Lokpal Bill.


Today, tiffins will not be delivered to more than two lakh offices in Mumbai and Udaipur is also witnessing Bandh. Anna Hazare previously had to struggle for 11 years continuously against government for giving rights to citizens by making legislation for Right to Information, More Rights for the Gram Sabha, Regulating Transfers of the Government Officers, Prohibition and against Red Tapism.
Hazare staged a 98-hour hunger strike in April that led to UPA government allowing him and his supporters to help draft the new anti-corruption law, called the "Lokpal" bill.The proposed Lokpal bill creates a new ombudsman tasked with investigating and prosecuting politicians and bureaucrats, but Hazare wants the prime minister and higher judiciary to come under scrutiny.US State Departmentsaid last week that Washington counted on India "to exercise appropriate democratic restraint" when handling of anti-graft protests.


The crowds gathered to support Anna Hazare are spiritual, and there have been no incidents of violence so far in the country where political rallies turn violent easily.Supporters expressed happiness over the 73-year-old Gandhian's decision to come out from the prison complex following rounds of negotiations with the police and authorities to decide on agitation venue to undertake hunger strike.We will go with Anna and sit at Ramlila Maidan for as many days we can. We want Jan Lokpal Bill to kill this corruption "says most of the Middle class and even the Upper class along with the Uneducated who are hit proportionately with corruption .

अन्ना की वानर सेना

हम बरसो से सुनते आये है की जब जब इस धरती पर पाप बढ़ता है तब तब महापुरुष जन्म लेते है | आज लगता है वो घडी आगई है जहा हर देशवासी को लंका मे जिस तरह वनरो ने श्री राम का साथ दिया उसी प्रकार हर देशवासी अन्ना हजारे का इस आन्दोलन मे साथ दे कर अपना जीवन सार्थक करे |

ये लोग जिन्हें हमने सत्ता की बागडोर सौपी वो कुर्सी के मद मे चूर होचुके है| कल राज्यसभा मे बहेस के दौरान माननीय सिब्बल साब ने कहा "हम से भूल हो गई जो हमने एक बहार के आदमी से मदद ली आएये अब हम यह निर्नेये ले की अब किसी बहार वाले की मदद न ले" |    मै मंत्री जी से सिर्फ यह जानना चाहता हु की क्या २०१४ में वैसे हो सकता है इससे पहले ही ,चुनाव के वक़्त भी वो संसद के ५५२ लोगो से काम चला लेगे क्या तब लोगो से वोट मांगने नहीं आएगे | बहार का कौन है ,कौन भारत माँ को लूट कर विदेशो मे धन जमा जर रहा है ये आज भी आम कही जाने वाली वो जनता जान चुकी है |

अन्ना आज देश की आवाज है आम इंसान जो सदीओ से भरा हुआ था उसे गाधी जी के बाद यदि किसी ने एकजुट किया तो वो अन्ना हजारे है | देश आज अपना हक लेने के लिए उठ खड़ा हुआ है |लाठी का बल दिखा कर लोकतंत्र की हत्या हुई है | सरकार का कोई विभाग सुनवाई नहीं कर रहा क्योकि शायद घुसखोर सरकारी तंत्र बिना रिश्वत के कोई काम नहीं कर पाती है और हम अन्ना की वानर सेना के पास अब देने को सिर्फ टक्कर ही है |

Anna ki aandhi !

Democracy at a threat ! A men mobilized the nation within hours to protest against the national cause of fighting against corruption .The government tried its level best to demotivate the citizens but as everyone knew no political party is attached to the cause so a huge number of people supported the cause and took the government to feats .The government after the Ramdev episode had long rounds of discussions but all in vain .They arrested Anna in early morning hoping to resist people but almost whole India came out on streets and supported their own cause.


Government was on Tuesday night faced with a piquant situation with Anna Hazare refusing to come out of Tihar Jail despite being offered a release, 15 hours after he was detained and prevented from going on fast demanding a strong Lokpal.Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned over the issue.With opposition parties and activists likening the government action to the emergency imposed in the country in 1975.The arrest sparked off angry, widespread protests with reports of people courting arrests from different parts of the country and opposition parties slamming the move as an attack on democratic and civil rights of citizens.


Murder of democracy,rehearsal of emergency,sad day all the networking sites were flooded with such quotes within seconds and the protest took an unexpected rise and the government's intelligence failure on accessing the movement .Nobody denies that Mr Hazare's movement against corruption has touched a chord among many Indians, who are fed up with corruption and the political class. Nobody denies that corruption is India's biggest threat to growth and all-round prosperity and development. At the same time, many believe that framing the corruption debate only in the terms of the state versus Mr Hazare-led 'civil society' threatens to trivialise the war on corruption and augurs ill for India.

Spark that ignited the Nation

Do you know how Right to Information act came into being?  It all started from a small incidence at a small town in rajasthan named Bheem. In early 90s when rajasthan was facing a severe draught govt launched various draught relief schemes. One of them was providing employment to poor people of rural Rajasthan . In which certain rain water harvesting schemes and rural road development schemes were started .
    Like any other scheme this scheme was also completed successfully on papers . But the reality was something different , not a single penny was invested at the actual site. Seeing this some of the local politicians and villagers protested and demanded the muster rolls to verify that who all worked an what was the actual result. They went from office to  office but in vain !

 The concerned officers refused to provide the relevant documents, say it was an official document and couldn't released to public as they termed it as confidential and can't be handed over to citizens.
 The citizens of Bheem did not gave up they took shelter of the judiciary.
 As the writ was filed at High court ,the court took matter into consideration and ordered investigation into the matter and it was ruled that the actual muster rolls be provided to the public , to improve the transparency in govt works as the money involved and the work done was concerned with public directly.
Later it became a national movement and supreme court ordered the govt to draft a bill to improve the transparency in public affairs. That's how a small movement in a village spread all over India. This shows the power of democracy and bargaining for one's rights.

Independence ?

 In the midst of rising cases of corruption, scams, slowing economic growth and terror, As rain washed out the national capital,the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh addressed the nation on the country's 65th Independence Day and said Corruption is a big obstacle in national transformation
With government facing attack over multiple scams, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, addressing the nation for the eighth consecutive year on the occasion of Independence Day acknowledging that corruption is a big obstacle in national transformation, he said the menace should be discussed in a manner that should not create an atmosphere in which country’s progress comes into question.

At the outset our concern was the stability of the nation but it was proved many a times that the people by intuition and instinct would clear the nation safe from turmoil and disintegration.In the sixth decade of Independence we are witnessing the spectacle of ministers resigning for different reasons and even a minister going to prison. Corruption has become endemic and people clamour for honesty and transparency in governance. Lokpal is the desired redeemer and the day after our celebration of the 65th Independence Day, albeit under unprecedented security, Anna Hazare will begin the second phase of his prolonged agitation for a foolproof machinery to detect corruption and punish the corrupt. After ushering in the information era with the passage of the Right to Information Act, we are striving to reach the golden era of transparency and accountability.

Pushing into the fading memories of history the ravages of colonial rule, India is forging ahead with vigour and confidence. But there is the other side, unlike the earth, always remaining in darkness. We, the people still remain an endearing constitutional prelude but it is not encompassing the entire people. Freedom remains fractured; democracy works for a minority; and the twilight zones expand where the dawn of freedom is indefinitely delayed.
People are angry. They are feeling angry with their elected governments.The claim of India as a sovereign, democratic republic may not remain long unless we are willing to address grave issues. There are many Tottenhams in and around us and warnings aplenty are blowing in the wind. What happened there can happen here. Political space for democratic activity is shrinking and it is occupied by unrepresentative civil society, grabbing the constitutional duty of the elected representatives to legislate.

Terrorism and insurgency are lurking as permanent threats to our freedom. As many as 310 of the country’s 636 districts are currently afflicted by terrorist and insurgent activities. Last year 1,902 persons lost their lives due to acts of terrorism and in insurgent conflicts. This is the state of the nation where we are trying to create a bubble of hallucination out of contradictions. At 65, are we ageing or are we reinventing ourselves?

Part of daily dose .

Why ?.................Why do we all want to blame others for everything which is wrong or not in place and love to take credit for all good and right things ?


It’s totally natural and totally human to want the credit and also the flip-side of that is to not want to be unfairly blamed. And the fact is that dynamics of credit and blame can be unfair.Well It's amazing how many people deflect responsibility for their actions and choices and blame others or circumstances for their problems. While playing the "blame game" is common, too much deflection of responsibility is actually a self-defeating behavior pattern.


an issue with an overly dependent coworker who does not give credit is too common .and the best answer to it may be you should be more concerned about doing your job well than worrying about who gets credit .Well it is difficult  practically !
Taking responsibility doesn't mean that we have total control over our destinies. In reality we all are affected by events beyond our control such as our genetic endowments, and a host of random, environmental factors.perhaps so many of us know someone who maybe, perhaps, might give themselves a little too much credit.And as a result, and out of fear of giving ourselves too much credit, we overcompensate their overcompensation, with under compensation.


Many people think that excuses are the replacement for results. And so if you take away excuses then people start to get results. So from now on whenever you blow it just simply say, "I blew it .
