Why Is Anna Hazare Fuelling Wal-Mart Politics?
Wal-Mart, which symbolise
capitalistic enslavement for the Indians, seems to be dividing India, world’s
largest democracy, in the middle even as the Indian government is bravely defending
its decision to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
in Retail, a reform which opens a market worth billions of dollars the world’s
major chains are desperate to enter.
The controversy is based on the
perceived pros of the move, strongly supported by the government in need of
urgent foreign investment to cover its budget deficit and maintain the growth
rate of the country and the cons, put forth by an opportunistic and motley combine of communists, communal
parties and the women
chief ministers of three states with over 30% of India’s population, who have
no clue of the complexities of the issue or particular reason other than their
bloated egos to object the move, claiming the government is only fooling
people.
"To
give an impression that FDI in retail will solve all problems like inflation,
price rise and unemployment... whosoever is saying this is fooling people that
FDI will get millions of jobs. It cannot happen."
Chandi Baba - The Polititician Saint Of India.
For millenniums, India
Mr Oommen Chandy,
who installed a webcam
in his office for transparency of his administration, will no doubt abhor being
called Oommen Swamy or Chandi Baba like an Indian saint, because he is only an
elected Chief Minister of the tiny state of Kerala in India US
The reason is Mr Candy is determined to
take his power as a Chief Minister, bestowed upon him by ordinary people
through a democratic election, to the very people, cutting through the red
tapes, to order immediate and on the spot resolutions to their problems.
In fact Mr Chandy and his
Government with its
efforts to run a transparent and corruption free administration is already
a role model for other Indian States and his own office fitted with a round the
clock webcam has attracted world attention.
Why Mr Chandy may be fast acquiring
the status of a Indian Guru of modern politics is his unique approach to
solving people’s problems. Unlike the
world leaders who struggle to somehow disperse the masses of a generation,
brought by their individual problems and hardship to the Occupy
Wall Street
The entire administration is
moved to the spot, ready to process and dispense fiscal and legal succour
allowed by government rules and existing law, but denied to the applicant by
the web of red tape and corruption. People are invited and encouraged to
register with their complaints and paperwork which are processed ahead of the
programme, ready for an on the spot decision by the CM. Those who can’t can
present on the day and still get answers.
However what makes Mr Chandy
endearing to masses is his true desire to be amongst the masses, his patience
to hear them out and his genuine concern to solve their issues. It is really
amazing to see how he stands and moves around a milling crowd of all kinds of
people listening, making his notes on the petitions, giving orders of urgent
medical help and issuing cheques till the wee hours, without food or rest. His
promise is to meet the last applicant and he keeps it no matter how late in to
the night!
All leaders are popular but some
are more popular because of their saintly nature!

Meet Oommen Chandy, the politician 'saint' from India, who may have something to
teach world leaders confronted with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Anna Hazare – An Indian Hitler Or Don Quixote?
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.
