“Honest Differences are often a healthy sign of progress.” – M K Gandhi
In the past 2 weeks we saw a few resolute people standing against the Indian government to bring about a system in place which is expected to provide a fix for corruption in India. This small group of people who call themselves the Civil Society regarded the LokPal bill proposed by the parliament incapable of solving the corruption problem in India. They suggested a Jan-LokPal bill of their own which was proposed to be much more effective. The difference in opinions did not boil down to an open discussion and rather took form of a protest movement which attracted eyes from across the globe as well as the support of millions of Indians. The desperate need of this country to lighten itself from prevailing corruption requires no explanation. This post comments on the effectiveness of the bill and the response of the people associated with it.
