Well everybody is writing, talking, fighting, tweeting, blogging, facebooking and whatever it might be thats the latest fad about Anna Hazare's fast.
There are people who belive that holding the goivernment ransom by fasting is wrong. Probably it is, but there isn't a better way. So let it go on
There are people who argue that the bill is draconian and will lead to a group of vested interestes getting hold of it just as today the political process is subverted. Probably, but well yuou can't not try!
Overall, its a tough call to take sides and I am sceptical of what will happen. I don't feel all that rgeat about the bill and its implications.
I find this piece by Niranjan Rajadakhsya a much more elgenat solution. Please go on with the Lok Pal bill but ensure that economic reforms go on so that every little guy does not have to go to a big guy to get things done (thats when corruption begins). Yes it is a slow painful process, not as "fame providing" or liberating as the outburst on corruption but probably more effective. Until we realize this is an option like (anantha Nageswaran mentions here) we will not make great progress.
Well thats just me !
