The second attempt by team Anna has invoked very strong response from the voters. The first campaign had support of the economically weakened sections of the society and Baba Rammed supporters. Those are the people who normally go out, brave the elements and vote. However, this time around, the supporters include sections of the society who would not step out of their comfort zones to vote. This also includes the younger population who are too cool to be bothered by the state of the nation. It is precisely because of lack of response from this class that parties like SP, BSP or even Congress get empowered. Now the same class of non voters is realizing the implication of inaction.
What we are now seeing is that people involved in the movement are a much better representation of the society. That is why; even the detractors of this movement are hard-pressed to question its legitimacy and seriousness. We now have celebrities (non famous ones), a couple of sitting judges, IIT graduates who boycotted convocations presided by Manmohan Singh. On a trip from Delhi to Agra, I saw a number of processions by school children. In short, I have not seen this kind of passion in my life time. Of course I do not remember JP’s campaign against Indira Gandhi regime. A passionate and peaceful gathering of Indians has not been seen outside of cricket stadiums. Good things come out of such events.
Of course you would expect some jackass to ruin the party. The Jama Masjid Imam has said that the Muslims should stay away from the anti corruption movement because it’s rallying cries include Vande Mataram and Bharat Mata Ki Jai. For this moron, corruption that the Muslims are facing is less important thing than facing calls of Vande Mataram. Muslims can attend the movement and support Anna without saying the offensive “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. So when the Royal Family of Awadh (20,000 members) announced that they will not celebrate Eid as a mark of their protest, it was a major slap in the face of the Imam. On top of this, the national president of All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board, Shaista Amber has decided to come out in the support of Anna. She along with her supporters came to the Ramlila ground in her burqa along with the other members. I say, god bless this woman. She went to say that “Bukhari’s statement is illogical and everyone has a right to freedom of speech and expression”. She also accused the Congress government of insulting and exploiting the Muslim Community. Wow! This woman has more guts than most men out there. God bless her. We at this blog have always held that Islam will be brought forth into the modern times by its female followers. Well for that matter, every backward community in Hindus could use the help of their girls and women.
It is a proud moment for the country when her citizens rise and speak in unison against common evil in a peaceful way. That is the hallmark of a proud civilization which is sure of itself.
