"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mahatma Gandhi
Anna Hazare A Strong Man which is now known as Second Gandhi Of India . Anna Hazare, is the man of the moment - an anti-corruption crusader who is determined to establish the Jan Lokpal Bill that can bring in a strong anti-corruption law in India.This patriot has sculptured himself to fight for the attainment of a peaceful nation.Anna Hazare’s hunger strike, to usher in a corruption-free society - with transparency and accountability as hallmarks, is finding new takers from among the masses every day.The question arises here : does non-violence serve as a mighty tool in the 21st century as well? The evident answer is: sure, it does.
No nation has set a greater symbol like the coercive non-violent protest in India. While the deadliest of weapons might fail to deliver desired results, peaceful non-cooperation from a civilian is known to yield results since the struggle-days of India’s independence. Such quiet yet powerful protests often write new, glorious chapters in the text of history. India’s told and untold experiments with democracy speak loads about the valor of non-violence and Gandhian philosophy.
There’s something so magical about Gandhigiri that though the people who adopt it come from nowhere, they take over the masses with time, cause an emotive storm and simply pull the mighty straight to the ground. Hazare’s call for an unshakeable movement against corruption resonates with various sections of the society.
Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi held the opinion that we may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. Still we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.”
Non violence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding . It is a sword that heals.” Setting an apt example for a world that resorts to conflict and mass destruction to fight for various causes, the Hazare movement is seeking a revolution on the lines of noble reforms and writing a history in which future generations can take pride.
In today’s generation, most of us have not seen Mahatama Gandhi and his way of fighting against the English. However, Anna Hazare has provided us a glimpse of the ‘Freedom Struggle’ through his fight against the ‘Corrupt’ officials of the government including politicians.
Corruption in politics has become a plague across our country, it is draining our resources and demoralizing our nation. This bill would go a long way to deterring those that steal and undermine the public good. India has a proud history of people power overcoming oppression -- today if we all stand with one voice we can fight this corruption that is poisoning our political system.
