Would someone, who has ways to contact a member of "Team Anna", communicate this?
We are in the midst of an interesting time. A frenzy has been created over anti-corruption bill. Unless this frenzy is converted into a positive force, it would only become a tool in the hands of corrupt politicians. Both honest citizens and honest politicians would be left in the lurch.
Gandhi-ji thought about what we are going to do with "swaraj", much before he started the struggle for independence. He raised the issue "are we ready for it?". He asked himself how a mass movement (that would start for "swaraj") can be channelized to uproot evils (untouchability, corruption, poverty etc) in the society?
There appears to be some kind of adoration for Mr Anna Hazare. Can someone request Anna to make some simple statements to channelize this movement, this adoration and frenzy to a positive force. This should be the final outcome of this fantastic and spontaneous movement that has started in India.
Would someone please request Mr Anna Hazare to
1. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would do not give bribes.
2. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would not jump the Q anywhere.
3. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would not allow suddenly new temples to arise from no where on the middle of roads
4. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would not allow religion to dictate their voting preferences
5. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would not spit/urinate in public places.
6. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would obey traffic rules.
7. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would respect women and do not make obscene remarks/comments
8. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would pay taxes promptly.
9. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would pay registration fees as per the actual purchase value of properties.
10. Request all citizens young and old to pledge that they would reduce carbon emission and save water.
College students appear to be more excited about this movement. Can someone request Anna to make some simple statements for college students.
1. Request all students to pledge that they will not involve in any kind of malpractices in examinations.
2. Request all students to pledge that they will not give proxy attendance.
3. Request all students to pledge that they will shun violence and make next generation violence-free.
4. Request all students to pledge that they will respect their female-classmates and make their lives comfortable and enjoyable during their studies.
5. Request all students to pledge that they will excel in whatever the career they take up and they contribute to the growth of the society by honest and hard work.

Times They Are A Changing
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin'
- Bob Dylan
This song is around 3 decades old, by one of my favorite musicians Bob Dylan, he was the one talked about revolution in USA.
Here in India, our Motherland the times are changing for sure. This Anti-Corruption revolution is an example. But is this really a revolution which is going on a right path? Why do we 'the people of India' need someone to wake us up that look around there is corruption everywhere and you are the one suffering? I mean who doesnt know that corruption is bad, everyone knows that, we were taught to be honest when we were small kids, it was the first lesson which we learned, our parents taught us, our teachers taught us not to lie to be honest. Then from where this corruption entered our mind? or we entered the vicious circle of corruption? the answer is simple and everyone knows that, we just need to be honest to our-self first to realize, to know the answer. The moment we will realize that, the real revolution will start.
I am not against anyone, I am just supporting the thing which I think is right. People think just because I am not supporting Anna Hazare I am not against corruption. But that is wrong, I didnt liked few points in Janlokpal so why should I support it? atleast I know what lokpal is, I know what is the difference between both the bills there are people who dun even have any idea what Anna is fighting for but are supporting him blindly, are they part of this revolution? I dont think so. Following someone blindly is not revolution, Mahatma Gandhi said 'be the change you want to bring in the world' and that will be the revolution.
Are you the change?
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin'
