The stomach is weak
By projecting fasting as what Gandhi did to win Independence for India is a poor comparison as India’s independence which was not one Gandhi’s efforts; there were also Subash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, and many others, whose efforts are now in fine print in history books. Everything is projected as a Gandhi or Nehru achievement. The rest are subdued or not propagated. So too with the current fast done by Anna and Ramdev is fakery and mockery to the thousands of Indians dying of hunger.
Why can’t there be a fast till the result is achieved? Are there no takers? Is it just a fan fare for hidden agendas and demonstrations are just a medium to keep these personalities in the news? If just being in the news is the criteria they can very well hire the services of Rakhi Sawant, who would do a better job for them and they don’t need to starve at least. Since she has anyway indicated her desire to marry Ramdev, why not marry their media crazy intentions? How come we never hear of a Kiran Bedi or a Kejriwal or the other members of Anna and Ramdev not fast too?
Every time a fast is called, it reminds one of a remix version of songs. The same agenda is taken is spun all over again. Corruption is drummed every time and with different names of corrupt guys giving the fast (farce) a different tune. This time it is the Prime Minister is dragged for some scam. The P(uppet)rime Minister comes with a statement that if he is proven guilty he will up public life. When there is not much of his physical life left wondering what public life can he contribute now too? Manmohan Singh was nothing but a Bharat who was fanning the shoes of Rahul kept on the PM’s chair, awaiting him to be the PM one day. Atleast in the Ramayan we had a Ram whose return to the throne as King was awaited with eagerness pride.
The latest is Sharad Pawar now backing Ramdeo in his pursuit to get black money back into India. Could there be a better joke than this. Just google ‘India’s most corrupt politician’ and you will see this joker feature in that list of dignitaries. Sharad Pawar chewed so much of the nation’s wealth that even his mouth is disfigured in the process of biting more than he can chew. Soon Anna and his team will backed by A. Raja, Mayawati, Robert Vadra, etc, in the support of getting black money back into India, that it would be ‘The pot calling the Kettle black’.
The guys who themselves are the perpetrators of the crime are the ones now wanting to team up with A Company (Anna Company) to get black money back to India. The crowds that once used to swell on the name of Anna Hazare are thinning every time a fast is called for. Maybe it’s time for Anna and Company change fast longer instead of fasting in intervals. Why not fast to death….
………or is it that the heart is willing and the stomach is weak?
