UPDATE: Less than a week after Hindu yoga guru Swami Baba Ramdev began a fast against corruption and was violently removed from New Delhi, Hindus in Houston say it’s time for Ramdev to end his fast. He was placed in intensive care today due to his physical condition from not eating. Locals joined Indian Americans from 15 other American cities to send a statement to Ramdev’s offices. It reads in part:
Swami Ji, Indians and Indian Americans have been touched by your sacrifice. Millions have answered your call and joined you in fasting against corruption in India. The response of Indian government has been barbaric but Indian people have been awakened and they need your leadership to take this fight to its rightful conclusion. Swami Ji, we need you, Indians need you, India needs you to end this menace of corruption that is destroying millions of lives and taking away future of a whole generation of Indians. From actions of the government we understand that its promises to enact laws and enforce them were not genuine. This fight will therefore be prolonged.
We beg you to conserve your energy so you can give us strength and guidance to fight peacefully and protest truthfully for an end to corruption.

We need Swamiji alive to give us courage and guidance that he has given all these years. We will need him even after the battle is won. There is a great deal of work to be done once the laws ahve been passed. When the millions £$£$£$ are brought back the money will have to be spent on projects for the poor. This will be an absolutely mega project of development all over India. We will need Swamiji guidance on roads and housing projects etc.
