Anna Hazare – An Indian Hitler Or Don Quixote?
If Cervantes, the Spanish author who
created Don Quixote four
hundred years ago visits India
today, he would be amused to see the ruckus
being created by Anna Hazare. However, he will be aghast how his character
could go out of control and create the current mass hysteria sweeping the
Indian continent, unless he digs up why Adolph Hitler could whip up something
similar in the pre war 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 ,
has heard of him.
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 ’s
nouveau rich techie and urban community is “Sancho Panza”, his equally
daft squire, who is promised the utopia of corruption free India .
The rural India
which constitutes ninety percent of the Indian population is his lady love, “Dulcinea del Toboso”, who he
tries to save from a corrupt government but she knows nothing about this.
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.
