Independence Day! What Next ??

My mobile watch showed 00:01PM, the day has changed and it was 15th August. I was sitting on the sofa and thinking what to do after turning off television and I saw lifeless "Times Life" lying beside me and the first line I read was "We have only got the freedom to breathe. We can’t talk, we can’t demand. It is a very selective democracy" and I thought how true it is?
Today when government is facing so many scams, question of corruption, black money, nepotism, biased behavior and what we are doing? or what government is doing when we try to demand something?
Government proclaimed Anna Hazare to be "TOTALLY CORRUPT FROM HEAD TO TOE"(?), they kicked away Baba Ramdev and now Baba Ramdev is forgotten name. When BJP decided to attack it, government suddenly opened Karnatak Lokayukta Report" genie but BJP didn't take backseat and took some brave step( sacking CM Yeddyurappa) so government took hasty decision of jumping in the gujarat politics and backing IPS officers who has been suspended recently by Gujarat government and projected it as an injustice but no one even tried to know why he has been suspended. He has been suspended for not reporting on the job got 10month and as media says what government wants it to say, it also hyped the scene.
Today, Anna Hazare Team has been finally denied the permission for the venue for the fast and more over delhi police imposed section #144. And still government is defending itself and justifying the action.
I just wonder what kind of government is this?
Which tried to procrastinate preceding of 2G Scam, Adarsh Building Scam, Commonwealth Scam and many more and now when few aware citizens of country wants government to take precautions that similar scams don't happen, government is saying "We can't do what you want, we will do what we desire".
They labeled Anna and team with "Anarchists, Black mailers, hypocrites" etc but my simple question to government  is Why these people had to come and protest? Doesnt is show lack proper management? lack of law or lack of willingness to provide justice? and when someone tries to tell you what you are suppose to do you just try whatever you can to shut them up.

I firmly believe this is just a starting of the big dirty game that will unfold it tomorrow(oops day changed "today"). or as Srivatsa Krishna just tweeted it will be "Rebirth of emergency of 1975, 36 yrs later"
what we can do it just speculate and do what is right for our country or atleast help those are trying to do what is right for the country.

"Lokpal" Bill

 So, candles have been lit slogans have been shouted, Anna Hazare Ji has started eating (and will gain weight, he has lost). In last few days u might had been part of  crowd to support Anna Hazare, you might have lit candles, tweeted a lot of messages, posted hell lot of links on facebook, forwarded messages, send mails to every one in your network to support "Satyagrah" that AnnaJI has started.

So what now???
How about few questions???

1) Who is anna hazare?
2) For what he is famous for? (don't tell me for his work for Ralegan Sidhi village, I want detailed answer)
3) What is Lok Pal Bill?
4) How Lokpal will be selected?(or will he/she be elected or selected?)
5) Have you read lokpal bill?
6) How lokpal bill will bring reform (read revolution)?

Take 5 minutes to think and construct your answers,

Now, if you fumbled while answering most the questions and you are clueless and don't know anything worth answering then please don't curse yourself. You need to neither call yourself outright dumb or total moron because you are just like other >70% of the mass who didn't know anything about Anna Hazare or Lokpal bill but still went on road with banners, burnt candles and did all the things I mentioned before.

No, I don't want to call your emotions or thing you did, total dumb and sense less but I am just wondering how can you support something if you don't know what it is ? Now you will argue that you want corruption free India and I appreciate your feelings but without knowing how lokpal will remove corruption or how it will function how can you know that it will work towards corruption free India? Just because news channels are giving exaggerating coverage or you heard few celebrities supporting it, you started supporting it?  I don't want to hurt your feelings but what I want to convey is that how can you fight for something about which you don't know?

On a closing note, ask yourself was it really your love for country or love for money which you have to spend every time you have to get some work done. You supported Anna Hazare for public good or just to save your money when you get some work do be done?

P.S :
1) Any one thought about the Perfect timing of this whole movement and dramatic coverage and publicity it got?
2) Any one gave any thought to "India Against Corruption" title ???
3) Any one still waiting for Poonam Pandey's Show or am I the only one? :P
