A detailed discussion on this subject GRAFT will lead to cross-firings on political affliations which we have been keeping away even in this dense- electioneering time.
However there are certain factors which were of interest to me ::
1. We get an opportunity to see the glimpse of Sathyagraha - in the form of Ahimsa and still IT WORKS !!
2. The very Portrait of BHARATHAMATHA brought me back the pleasant memories of having read THIAGA BHOOMI by Amarar Kalki.. The combination of Gandhi kulla ( symbol of Gandhianism ) with portrait of Bharathamath has generated such an enthusiasm and support from Bollywood - including Khans too !! And in an IPL Season !! With Regional Polity dictating terms - this is a very good sign giving comfort that under current of NATIONAL INTEGRATION still prevails.
3. Recall our Dear Venkat's view :: It is the British Rule which created the concept of UNITED - INDIA !! Prior to that there were Princely States only.. Very True. Anna Hazare, by contrast has inducted that feel of UNITED - INDIA ..
4. Was the support to Hazare in TN was just luke warm ?
WE are not exhibitionists .. WE weigh our views..
GRAFT reflects in both the sides of the Coin. Giving and Taking.. In we ponder, we know we have to work between less graft and more graft... Hazare and Kiranbediji acknowledged the Media more for their support. In TN media exposure was a bit subdued - for obvious reasons.. we are simple and contended lot. We do not over react unless personally we are driven to that point..
Sorry if my point, please do correct where necessary - after preparing a lot on the upsc topics, and also hearing in classes that the south is a bit safer place. as such all the wrath of war and everything happens only in the north. they are the ones who face right in front of their eyes, and that's y they are bold n energetic to react to things faster than us. after the northies get us a hint only v react n that to in a sober way. may be v dnt exhibit!!! - but only if 1 knock the door it would be open - what as such the talk is like will wait for someone to knock the door n open it for ---, unless until some mad dog or wild animal is at the back...
