Pondering over Anna Hazare's agitation
All the hyperventilating leftists in India who are going ga-ga over Anna Hazare's fast is enough to make me very queazy and suspicious.
A few random thoughts:
A few random thoughts:
- Is the Lokpal going to supersede the courts with its own police force?
- What's to stop the Lokpal and its powers from being misused especially if it has its own police force?
- All institutions can be corrupted as its the individuals who are corrupt. What's to ensure that the Lokpal is an exception?
- Why should we not be suspicious of unelected NGO chaps and santcimonius individuals like Anna Hazare who insist on being involved in framing laws now?
- Instead of having a new institution like a Lokpal, why cant Anna Hazare and his fellow agitators improve the existing law and order machinery?
- Why cant all Indians give comments on issues like Lokpal or for that matter any other law? Why should we be subject to the whims and fancies of these agitators?
- Why cant these people realise that we are not ruled by the british and freedom-movement like andolans are passe. I must admit that i am a little ambivalent on this point as the indian government by its very nature is brutal and ignores citizens unless they indulge in violence!
- Is this another agitation hijacked by the english media and the yuppies who like nothing better than an excuse to be on talk shows and light candles !
