Why Anna Hazare is wrong

Why I feel Anna Hazare is wrong!

I am no Magsaysay award winner like Kejriwal or Aruna Roy. My opinions may not be given any importance because of that or because I am not a popular figure. However, I would like to place a few of my inner feelings in front of all those who care. I don’t want to be popular because many people read my views and start talking about me. It is enough if everyone understands me and correct themselves!

  1. Every Human being, from the time he (She) has come in to this world is brought up to become corrupt – from bribing chocolates/eatables to keep from crying, promising to present something if he(she) does well in school and all such things. They automatically gives the feeling that to do something you get something and this becomes a habit.
  2. Anna ji is trying to do the same thing – he wants the government to pay him the bribe of “Jan Lokpal Bill” to end his fast. Now before you say that he is doing it for the others – the bill will help the common people from giving bribe  - he is doing for himself – to get the name “Brother of the country” etched in everybody’s mind! Otherwise, why he should accept the help of some selected people who have come into this hungama for their own benefit – of getting their name in the media!
  3. On what basis he has accepted these people who are close to him in his so called sojourn to help the common people? What are his measuring sticks used in assessing them and who has approved those?
  4. When everything is relative – some are more corrupt from others and we want to bring those who are the most corrupt first, (because the judiciary has not the capacity try everyone and those in the judiciary are no less corrupt) – how this bill is going to help?
  5. He should have started a “campaign to stop bribing” rather than catching those who ask for bribes! If people are not willing to bribe then how can those who take bribes grow big!
  6. We see only sporadic incidences of people getting caught red handed while taking bribe. Not everybody who takes bribes gets caught because – a) person giving bribe gives it so that his work is done without any sweat; b) he does not want to make a big fuss about it because tomorrow he cannot go to the same fellow for the same work again; c) may be the  person taking bribe has support of rowdy elements and he is worried about his life. Only when everybody refuses to yield to such corrupt elements can we expect better life for everybody.
  7. Even when USSR was in existence, and communism was strong, corruption was rampant. So communism, democracy, are equal in building corrupted empire
