Don't ask me!
Should Indian Cricket Team be brought under the purview of the Lokpal/Jana Lokpal?
Dont ask me!
Should the Indian cricket team be 'impeached' for ruthlessly breaking the hearts of a billion plus Indians?

Some Film Personalities & Drive Against Corruption
A number of film personalities have come out in favour of Anna Hazare's crusade against corruption.
Good, No?
And would it therefore be correct to argue that it means that these film personalities have never taken 'black money' or atleast hence forth would not take 'black money'? Or have always paid full Income-Tax or atleast hence forth would pay full Income Tax?
One hopes so.

Ah, these candle light protests!
There are innumerable houses in the remote tribal areas of the country which have not yet been electrified. The inhabitants are poor and can ill afford the scarce kerosene oil. And we the city dwellers burn thousands and thousands of candles to show our protest/indignation etc. on various issues (So much for energy conservation!).
Is it possible to think of another way of expressing our emotions and try to divert these candles to the needy tribal areas?

'Second War of Independence"?
"... ...Hazare's ultimatum to the government to either accept his version of the Lokpal Bill or brace itself for his fast-unto-death, and escaating protests across the country, smack of blackmail.
The fact is that Civil Society's draft anti-corruption bill is unlikely to be the panacea for India's problem's.
As it is, only Parliament has the power to make laws in India (And, to its credit, the Government has accepted many of Hazare's recommendations)
Finally, Hazare's campaign against corruption is decidedly not the 'second war of independence'........"
