Anna Hazare -The Man on the Edge ..!!

Perhaps it was an unusual Thursday evening I was going back home, enroute at Rajiv Chowk metro station where i found something strange and unusual among the crowd .Well it was not that we had won another cricket match or another medal at London Olympic or people wearing Gandhi topi ,shouting slogans in praise of Anna hazare which by the way was something i had been witnessing since the day Anna went on fasting at Jantar Mantar.There was a sense of victory or rather i should say an achievement among the people which could have only puzzled me The only thing i could figure out was  that something went on the unusual way resulting in something which was never meant to happen in a right way ....I know that i am a fool to have think of the fact that the government has bowed down to the Anshan(Fasting) by anna hazare and has agreed to accept the Lokpal bill..but probably that was the only think that came into my mind ...by the time i was in the train ,under curiosity  i took my cell and went on to have a look on the latest news and to my utter amazement it all came up-to me with a surprise that ,Anna has decided to call of the Anshan and has decided to make a political party to finish the corruption from within the gov by being a part of it ....

Well that was something that i could have never thought of in a million years ..It seems that India is nearly impossible to understand and so does the Indians ..At one time the movement which spread in the whole country like a plague, was put to a halt by a conclusion that it is a waste of time and moreover the new direction of the movement was to make a political party and contest for 2014 elections .I do agree the fact that the end result of the movement till now were not significant and that this new decision will surely bring a new hope to the people ,but it has also made us clear that we have to go a long way to achieve what we desire .It took sometime  for the Team Anna Hazare to realize that it is impossible to end corruption by mere fasting or protesting against government .To root corruption out of the system, one has to be part of the
democratic process, and change the nature of the beast from within.

Once the team anna have formed there new party they shall very much be entitled to question the system and take decision but my question is from where shall Team Anna raise funds to contest for the election .As far as the popularity is concerned we cannot deny the fact that this is once such movement which has gained much popularity and audience right from mountainous tips of Kashmir to southern most tip of Kanyakumari .Extending its appeal nation wide is quite tedious ,but it is necessary for longevity and continuity .It was quite a flop when it tried to expand its base in south , but nevertheless  Anna has adherent following in lakhs in northern India .This could possibly be one factor that could help them win but ,political funding is one such thing that determines the political winner .In order to contest fairly which i believe is impossible in India Team Anna requires funds ....From where they shall raise funds.....???   Is it through the wealthy people or through some online donation sort of thing (Well the online donation was a part of Obama fund rasier for campaing his presidential election ) Gaining funds through masses transparently could for sure help them in a great deal

Its a tedious journey which team Anna has embarked upon. Full of obstacles and filth. Urban middle class and young will support to some extent but what about rural and poor population which has majority. Selection of candidates is also very tricky. Existing political sharks," Bahubalis" will exploit the feeble newly born politicians of Team Anna.

I sincerely  pray that the mission on which  Team Anna is set upon  gets success in near future ......
