Care to explain how the protest is going to help reduce corruption? The way I see it, his demands would centralize power that would only relocate and increase corruption. Secondly what about the corruption nurturing around him. You do realize that protests and protesters of this sort are prime centers for nurturing corruption? Anna's intentions may be genuine, but what about the people around him who take advantage of the situation? How come lakhs or even crores of rupees are spent for a protest whose prime essence is supposed to be fasting? Where does the money come from and where does it go? Easy to sit in arm chair and support every action of so called anti-corruption activists (who happen to have no respect for the law) without ever giving a thought to whether what they are doing is right. Its not easy to exercise thought and judge for yourself.
The main reason India ever came under British rule is because of our lack of individuality, lack of self respect, lack of respect for others and most of all slavish mentalities ready to follow anyone without thinking. Our people tend to follow leaders than ideologies. There is Anna fighting corruption, yeah lets support every damn thing he does because after all he is fighting corruption. There's Baba Ramdev. He get's crore's of rupee's (which he himself admits) which is obviously black money and god knows where it comes from and where it goes. He can barely last a day of fasting despite all his Yog shakti, He doesn't have any respect for the law, he doesn't even have the gut's to stand his ground and face arrest and would rather dress like a women and escape, but he protested a day against corruption, So, yeah lets support his as well. That is all people want to do.
The key to fighting corruption is resisting and fighting it at an individual level, not blindly supporting every thing that some other activist does without even understanding his ideology.
