Can Anna Hazare impact India?

Indians can be terribly Sensitive especially to themselves.If they believe in something,they can not think about that something.
Today's hype is about Anna Hazare.Any hero worshipping has its back lashes and with the support of Indian Media which specialises in trivialising and sensationalism,Anna today is a big Hero. He supposedly brought down the Corrupt Congress Government to issue a Government Order on the Lokpal Bill.Not a mean achievement considering the vested interests Indian Politicians hold.
But,I want to think much against my genetical compulsions as an Indian.
India became a Republic in 1950 meaning that the Sovereignty of Indian Constitution came into place.During the 60 years since enactment of our Constitution,how often has been the Supremacy of our Constitution has been respected.What forced enactment of the n number of amendments to it?Even the preamble has been tampered with by Indira Gandhi with a Poltical motive as she added Socialist to defining India.The challenge is that even the Constitution of India was mutilated to adjust to the Political demands of the time by Politicians whose only aim was to stay in Power so they can misuse Power.
Now to the moot question: Now that the Anti corruption Bill is to be enacted at Anna's instance, can we presume India will not be corrupt anymore.Will Anna Hazare and his vociferous supporters take responsibilty if there is any instance of Corruption in India? Am sure that Anna's supporters will be agitated with me for asking basic questions,but questioning issues is not the prerogative of Anna.It is mine too.
Let us see what happened to Anna's fasts of the past. Pl see Wikipedia :
When dust settles,it will become clearer that Corruption in Maharashtra didnt come down despite Anna's fast unto death that ended on 17th August 2003.Adarsh Scam is just one example and India's finest Corrupticians live in Maharashtra.There are many coincidences apart from the fact that the Fasts lasted exactly 4 days.
Am afraid that apart from pushing Anna Hazare to the National scene,the fast that ended just now will make no impact on the India's corrupt.Because a huge Majority are corrupt and think it is beneath their dignity to respect even traffic laws and stop before the stop line on roads.
The only solution is a cultural renaissance that will shame those without personal discipline.India had it before the British stepped foot.A respect for our Heritage can bring about a sense of respect towards fellow Indians.
I will be happier if am proved wrong and Anna and his followers set examples for respect of Law and in the process lead Honest lives even in private.

Why DMK should go in TamilNadu?

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam,DMK in short was a breakaway faction of E V Ramasamy naicker's Dravida Kazhagam which was built on anti Brahmanism. The Break up took place as its Founder C N Annadurai who later became DMK's first Chief Minister didnt agree to Naicker's second marriage to a girl named Maniyammai younger to him by decades. Naicker with all his tall talk on Women's Equality didnt think twice to wed a girl in her 20s while in his 60s. Annadurai showed that he had Principles...much more than his compatriots in his party.
DMK captured Power in 1967 on the Planks of High Promises on anti Brahminism, Rationalism,Price rise control, etc. Unfortunately Annadurai feel a victim to Cancer and ironically the fresh winds that blew while he was alive died too instateneously.Annadurai made a few Cosmetic touches like renaming Madras State as Tamilnadu,etc. Karunanidhi became Chief Minister after a nasty Power battle with his senior in party Nedunchezhian. He continues DMK's Supremo since then. His Party Treasurer and matinee idiol M G Ramachandran sought accounts for the Madurai DMK Conference and he was summarily dismissed from the Party thereby heralding the achilles heel DMK has had since then: the greed for Money and Power and the vulgar display of Money and Power.
M G Ramachandran became Chief Minister in 1977 and was Chief Minister until his death in 1987. He called his party Anna D M K to proclaim that his party is the true follower of Annadurai. Let us try and get the whole picture on these two Dravidian parties.
MGR was a strong theist and his frequent visits to Mugambigai temple in Karnataka held surprise.Karunanidhi tirades against superstition went hollow as he wore a yellow shawl presumably on the advise of an astrologer.He frequently laments his fate when chips are down there by exposing his feverish mind.Jayalalitha is a believer,if there was any.And surprise of all she is a Brahmin Leader in a Anti Brahmin Movement.
As person with deep contacts in TamilNadu government, am aware that nothing in Government will move without greasing palms of those in authority.Have you ever visited Chennai's Greenways road and checked how many poor men are embraced with open arms by DMK Ministers? The fact is you will see a parade of cars of the rich and the powerful and you will not be allowed to see any Minister if you do not belong to the affluent clan. to think that Karunanidhi repeating that he sees God in the smiles of the Poor is fatal satire.Karunanidhi who says he doesnt believe in God obviously doesnt believe in making the Poor smile.His focus is on the Rich and making his family rich.
The Dravidian parties have outlasted the purpose for which they were founded.It is by repeating old rhetory such as the dravidian and aryan divide they would like to sustain themselves in power.They are just Power hungry and their food is the people of TamilNadu.They will not settle unlessTamilians apply their minds and are able to distinguish between cheese and chalk.
God save TamilNadu!
