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.

ReplyDeleteoh man.. i dnt have words to express.. m speechless.. hats off to you.. main to teri fan bann gai .. lol
ReplyDeletegreat attempt .. and all the conditions are appropriate.. i agree to u totally.. proud of u <3
Bhaai... kaafi alag blog likha hai. Liked it.
ReplyDeleteClarification: the bill is about putting politicians to test their wrong doing (if any); its to check if judiciary system has a time frame within which scruplous politicos can also face actions (timely); its about the next gen who can learn from their leaders.
ReplyDeleteLet's ask here: do anyone here like any of your political leaders; do you follow them; do you want to become them
Add: is it that a common man who's done any of the above in the post not been tested; at least some have. That's the point, its not about people's corruption; its about politicians' corruption
Views accepted Rishab, but have a closer look at the 2 bills that have been drafted. The bigger matter is: how will the implementation work?
You can reply to me on Twitter: @THATlittleJOKE
@THATlittleJoke, the bill is not a weapon against politicians against corruption, but it is a law against corruption, no matter he is a politician or a common man.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have had a closer look at both the bills, both have flaws, Janlokpal is not practical and is actually the demands are un-necessary and undemocratic, on the other hand Draft's Bill is not that strong and needs to cover more points like to keep a check on Govt officers below grade A level
