Hello everybody....during last few months, India is witnessing turmoil in socio-economic-political milieu..At one hand, country is witnessing increasing crime against women,old age,weaker sections, fake encounter,etc...on the other hand, common people is suffering hugely by increasing prices,inflation,corruption,etc and on the political front, instability, blinking leadership,corruption allegations, Dharnas etc.
I was closely monitoring the recent development specially during Anna Hazare's Satyagraha which was 100% peaceful and on the lines of Gandhian Styagraha...We must appreciate the way the battle against corruption, maladministration and trust deficit between government and civil society is being fought in the context when several countries are undergoing political turmoil, clashes between the ruling and opposition,etc...In our country also, common man is suffering from all malice due to red tapism,corruption and inefficiency but still He has the patience and manner to fight his battle with peaceful means despite myriads of provocation. The credit to this show of peaceful protest must goes to the founding father of the nation, freedom fighters as well as Team Anna headed by Sri Anna Hazare Ji....Anna ji has become a popular ICON....Indian youth has found him as their Ideal after a long time. Country is looking towards him with lots of Hope and aspirations to make this country corruption free and livable place.
I think after JP movement in late seventies, this was the second largest peaceful protest staged across the country despite having any overt political or organisational steering....Civil society voluntarily came forward to carry forward this movement. They all were united behind Anna ji who was preaching non violence method of protest. As a result of JP movement several new leaders came on the political canvass and people of this country blessed them power at the Centre...on the same line, I think Anna ji has done lot of good things to the society and in future also he is going to be an inspiration to numerous paradigm shift in the institutional arrangements in the country. Therefore, I strongly advocate 'Bharat Ratna' award to Sri Anna Hazare Ji...Who else can be a better option to this award ?? This way, Indian citizens will definitely blessed Sri Anna ji in real sense.
Besides, if we see the global context where institutional changes are being carried out through violent means or through BIG BOSS intervention e.g. regime change in Iraq,Egypt or Syria, Indian peaceful protest to change the systemic faults under the leadership of Anna Ji is a beacon to rest of the world. He shows to the world that how a powerful centre can bent before the peaceful protest of millions of citizen of the Country..How a dictatorial attitude of leader can be changed without shedding a drop of blood. In the real sense Anna Ji is a messenger of World Peace.. Therefore, I firmly believe that Sri Anna Hazare ji should be honoured by Nobel Peace Prize...
One may not be agreed by the views expressed above but at some corner of his/her heart must be feeling obliged towards Sri Anna Hazare ji who at the age of 74 yrs fasted for 12 days for common cause.
Now I invite responsible readers of this blog to comment on Should Sri Anna Hazare ji get Bharat Ratna or Nobel Peace Prize Award for his work?....keep on blogging...
