Team Anna: Hazare remains hungry and defiant   http://www.dailymail.co.uk

Their failing health notwithstanding, Team Anna members remained defiant as ever as their indefinite hunger strike entered the eighth day, refusing to be hospitalised and warning of 'retribution' should the police try to force them out of Jantar Mantar.

The Delhi Police on Wednesday wrote to Team Anna's Neeraj Kumar, advising that fellow activists Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai - fasting for the past eight days and who doctors say needed immediate medical attention - be admitted to a hospital as soon as possible. 

'You are advised to follow the doctors' recommendation and take steps for immediate hospitalisation of Arvind Kejriwal, Gopal Rai and Manish Sisodia to prevent harm to their lives, failing which you would be squarely responsible for any untoward incident,' additional commissioner of police (New Delhi) K.C. Dwivedi said in the letter.

Anna has re-enacted what it is to be a Gandhian and reaffirmed my own faith in Mathma Gandhi and his non-violent ways of movement. Anna's movement with all those millions of supporters, was totally peaceful and in the end it reached at least certain goal post! Where as we remember Gujjar movement and other movements that did cost state thousands of crores in damage! Gandhian way rules, Anna has proven it. Thank you Anna ji :-) - Madhava Turumella

Scams of India - A Summary Of Scams from 1947 to 2010

Corruption in India

It really happened to me! Last month I flew down from Malaysia and landed in New Delhi (Capital of India) in the middle of the night. Avis Self-driving rent-a-car driver gave me the car keys and left. I was driving on my way to the guest house and a Police Inspector stopped me. He questioned me 'Where is your Pollution certificate'. And he wanted me to give him Rs.1000 to let me go. I refused and told him I support Anna Hazare he had let me go! I consider it a victory to Anna Hazare.   - Madhava Turumella

" A battle we must not lose " - By Pritish Nandy

Forget Anna Hazare. The Jan Lokpal movement can go to hell for all I care. Let us just look at the issues over which the battle between the Government and us citizens is being fought. And then let’s decide where we want to stand, each one of us, on the issue of corruption. The first question is: Do corruption and bribery hurt you? If they do, do you want a solution? If your answer is yes to both, do you think such a solution lies with an independent authority? Or do you think a corrupt Government can fight corruption on its own, and within its own ranks? If your answer is no to that, then we need to create an independent institution to fight corruption. Right? Well, that’s precisely what Anna is asking for. He is asking for a Lokpal that the Government cannot influence nor manipulate. This is the first battle. The second battle is over four things. One: Should the Prime Minister come under the purview of the Lokpal? Almost everyone I know thinks he should. A honest Prime Minister wouldn’t care. A dishonest one must be supervised. Or else, we will have cases like Bofors that will never ever be resolved. Two: Should Members of Parliament come under the Lokpal? I have not met a single person till date who thinks that our MPs are so honest that they need not be supervised. My guess is if a referendum is ever taken, Anna will get a 100% yes to this question, given what people think of our politicians and the standards of probity in public life. The third question is even more obvious: Do all public servants need to come under the Lokpal? My guess is India’s answer will be yes, yes, yes. Every day, in every area of our life and work, we are constantly harassed, intimidated and extorted by corrupt Government officers. The poorer you are, the worse is the torture. So yes, every public servant, every Government officer must come under the Lokpal. Question four: Who should give permission to file an FIR against a corrupt judge? If the Lokpal can look into corruption charges against the PM, the MPs and Government servants, isn’t it only logical to expect it to do the same against judges? The third and final battle is over an even simpler thing: The Citizen’s Charter. Should every Government office have such a Charter which will clearly state which officer will do what work and in how much time? And should an officer who refuses to do his work in time or asks for a bribe to move a file be punished? The Government says a charter a fine but Government servants must not be penalised if they don’t do their work! Anna believes that officers not doing their work in time amounts to corruption and must face the same treatment. Isn’t it rather obvious what India thinks about this? Do we really need a referendum on these simple, basic issues? I seriously doubt it. Every Indian will endorse the idea of a Lokpal as Anna and his team have envisioned it, with the help of thousands of Indians who have contributed online to the process of drafting the bill. Yes, there are genuine fears that we should not create yet another monster out there, who will make life more difficult for us than it already is. But even that has been addressed rather adroitly by Anna’s team. It is a complex process, true but it also ensures that the choice is wisely made. And what if there are charges against the Lokpal? Well, there’s a provision there too. You can go straight to the Supreme Court and seek justice out there. So why are we arguing so much over this Bill? Why is the Government digging its heels in and refusing to listen to us citizens? Why must Anna go on a hunger strike all over again to press home the point that corruption must be fought back? I guess it’s a question of both ego and fear. No one likes to give up the power they have, and certainly not the Government. In fact, it’s always trying to interfere more and more in our lives, grab more and more authority, more and more space. And fear? Well, I guess we all know the answer to that. This is possibly the most corrupt Government we have ever had. It has good reason to be scared. IF YOU LIKE THIS POST, PLEASE FORWARD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.
