Corruption certainly may have become endemic, especially after Indira Gandhi took over reins of the nation. But did the current government came to power in the very wake of Anna Hazare revolution against corruption And yet, have there been any electoral funding reforms No. A functioning and powerful Local No. Has the quality of parliamentary declamation or even attendance improved No.? Have our experiences in the land registration offices or dealing with local governments say while building a house or setting up a business improved No. arena Indians continuing to put down Indians even today, exactly as we did a hundred years ago Yes. It surely cannot be a good sign if a diatribe of a century ago against the then political and socio economic situation still sounds so contemporary. And yet we carry on, happy in our slavish fatalism. I reproduce exhortations of some leader in a rally. Was it the rally cry of Anna Hazare, in his fasting against the forces of corruption in 2011 Or a leader of anti CAA protests in 2020 21 Or It is on your shoulders that this huge country rests. You are the masters of these great arm iesand highly placed government servants. And yet you starve and submit to injustice. Why Because you are not aware of your own strengths. You must understand that one who cannot defend oneself would always be the victim of the selfish and the unjust. Today, agreat man is staking his life for you. Thousands of young men are prepared to sacrifice themselves to end your miseries. How would those who think that you are helpless and rob you dry to see you get out of their clutches They inflict cruelty on your shoulders when lathe charges happen on the mochas. But you must think of how you can help us. Will you come out like men and save yourself from injustice or will you continue to sit back like cowards and curse your fate An opportunity like this may never come again? You will always regret it.
