If Cervantes, the Spanish author who
created Don Quixote four
hundred years ago visits India Germany
Like Don Quixote, Anna Hazare has
been inspired only in his ripe old age to attain glory and a place in history.
Till the recent up surge against “corruption” no one, at least outside India
It took him seventy four years to
see that there is an enemy “corruption” in the Indian society and it is his
call to eradicate it and thereby achieve eternal glory as his role model Mahatma
Gandhi.
There are a lot of interesting
parallels in the saga of Anna Hazare with that of Don Quixote. One can see Don’s stupid horse "Rocinante" in the bizzaare
group of spiritual and materialistic swamis, police officers and business men
supporting his shows. India India India
Most striking comparison though
is in their adventures. Like Don, who saw in a wind mill a giant monster he
needs to defeat, Anna has identified and is relentlessly attacking the “corrupt”
Indian administration as his arch rival he must bring down.
The reality is, the current
government, politically guided by Sonia Gandhi with her Christian social values
and headed by Dr Man Mohan Singh, respected by the entire world for his
integrity and honesty and assisted by a group of honest congress party
stalwarts and Harvard educated ministers, is the best democratic government India
The problem is, Anna Hazare or
his supporters have no idea about the real causes. The recent and massive
inflows of foreign capital and outsourcing revenues have created a serious imbalance
in the Indian urban society between the private sector employed techies with
disproportionate income, who directly benefit from the foreign inflows and the
public sector workers who do not. This unprecedented buying power percolates down through the route of petty corruption,
including in the education system, which has created a large part of the techie
population, ending as a major cause for inflation
The changes
being demanded by Anna will turn Indian democracy, soundly footed on the principles
of independent elected parliament, judiciary and executive in to an autocratic
and anarchist system where the elected body will become redundant, something no
one has tried before which is probably worse than the autocratic governments other nations
are trying to bring down.
Despite the hysteria which is
sweeping every rung of the Indian urban society it seems there is hope though the only consolation
is that Indian
Intelligentsia has not completely lost their marbles.
