Just when the heat against corruption was hot the team Anna and other civil rights groups lauched an combined effort to bow down the government. People from the middle class after long gap came on the street to support the cause. Most of the youngsters were pitting for the 75 year old Anna saheb for the leading them who was equating this as fight for the second freedom.
All this has now part of history, the bill would be back in parliament, if MPs unite, the citizens are now left to see the fate of Lokpal bill are in hands of government in power. The street which was packed by 'I am Anna' supports are now filled with ravellers of Ganapati and Ramzan. Do we all would be able to take the fight till end. We all had doubts yet hope lingers on the somewhere else, the typical urban middle class have not connected them selves with rural India and also with the civic issues arising in their own cities. The ' egg shell' like their houses refuses to come out on the streets and still believes that someone like Anna would fight, fast and die for their cause.
Parliament which were supposed to be addressing these issues is again would be busy in putting things into back burners with many legislation waiting to be passed. The Lokpal would take ample time in come to force in near future. The issue of corruption might have been prime time episode for most of us, but it has failed to raise the national consensus for social reform in supporting the cause.
