As much is said about Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement, which takes you back to the basic information that could be lost in all the frantic action.
Anna who?
Most middle class Indians had not heard of Anna Hazare until he became the face of the anti-corruption. The real name of Kisan Baburao Hazare is Anna, and that comes from Maharashtra. He worked for a time as a pilot in the army. He was suicidal when he went to pick up a book by Swami Vivekananda, he was inspired by the social service. He returned to his impoverished, drought-prone town. His efforts to conserve water earned him praise and support. The Guardian gives a quick overview of his life, following his ascension from the controller discouraged the popular campaign against corruption.
What have you done so far?
His philosophy consists of Gandhi's ideals of truth, nonviolence and empowerment of the people. Wikipedia gives us an idea of the projects he took on his people. They cover the ban, education, sanitation, production of grain and milk, water conservation, elimination of untouchability, and collective marriages. He has also campaigned against corruption before. In 1995-96, the His attire is also Gandhi.
Why is the news?
He heads a movement to demand stricter laws against corruption. His main campaign team consists of Arvind Kejriwal, a former tax commissioner, Kiran Bedi, former police commissioner, and Santosh Hegde, Lokayukta former. The government had proposed a bill Lokpal in cold storage for decades. Anna team pressure forced the government to draft and pass the bill in July this year. Anna Hazare and his team found the new law weak to deal with the problem of corruption and are demanding that the prime minister and the judiciary are also included in the preview.
Why do some people otherwise?
Politicians feel that is undermining the authority of Parliament, whose members are elected by citizens, and the placement of "civil society", which means the new mechanism to fight corruption, to a height unfair. Others feel their demands, if accepted, will create more chaos and confusion in a country burdened with too many procedures. They are institutions exist to deal with corrupt politicians and officials, and a new one is useless. Anna argument is that institutions like the CBI are controlled by politicians, and unable to perform his duties impartially.
What are critics saying?
Manu Joseph, editor of Open magazine, writes in The New York Times that India's middle class is hypocritical, and points fingers at the politicians, not looking inward at their own venality. Bijoy Venugopal collects opinions that require a more nuanced discussion of the law against corruption.
