Anna Hazare is unreasonable in his insistence on 100% acceding of his demands by the government.In a democratic system opinions of all segments are to be considered.Investing the Lok Pal with unrestricted powers will lead to LokPal over reach and will stifle the growth of democratic institutions.Certainly Anna has brought to the forefront the problem of corruption and let him now leave it to the people's reps.

The same people's representatives who are corrupt?
40% of elected representatives in india have court cases pending against them some of which are of serious nature such as murder, raoe, extortion and dacoity.

You recommend the Government to give him Bharat Ratna on 15.08.2011 and see the result of his agitation on 16.08.2011.
SO called CIVIL Society is misleading the people.What we need is KANOONPAL who will ensure people are taking to task if any agency is not working properly

The people who have to perform that task have let the country down, including the PM. There has been no administrative reform, police reform, judicial reform even though it was part of Congress manifesto and PM promised it will be done in 100 days if Congress came to power.
You want to talk about theories. Give some practical solutions.
first anna shud have done referendum with missed calls to his cell from those who support then asked for MP's to give in writing their support
those who do not shud have been socially boycotted and asked to resign as they cannot call themselves ppl rep anymore.
Those who oppose shud be pelted with rotten tomatoes and eggs and gobar ....to protest but no stones or hard objects to be used as that can result in serious injury and case of assault.
use election commission to conduct referendum for jan lok pal bill
then nobody like sibal could have questioned lokpal bill

Agreed. In that case do something. Stand up and be counted. Let the government understand that things have changed and it is no longer "business as usual".
