Anna is like Taliban leaders in Afganistan or Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. He is a fascist to the core. His model village is all stupidity in which the backward and down-trodden cannot grow. He is like a demi-God who cannot be questioned. Had he conked off during his pseudo hunger strike (in which he took all vital minerals and vitamins through water) it would have been a good riddance.

Ur from true political class, not only congress, but bjp to have paid. Tearing the bills & shouting in Parliament & Assembly is very much democratic norms. People of political class not like to see Anna style, he hijacked all issues. Next time any one comes for votes, he has to take the Lectures from Voters. Please face the music, as early as possible.

Utter nonsense!!

Right to recall and right to reject are the basic steps we can take in order to be a really Democratic nation.. India is moving fast towards Aristocracy from Democracy and its only these steps along with referendum and pre- legislative pools that can save India...
This all is smear campaign of Congress paid Media .. which don't want India to wake up so that they can easily loot us!!

Are we fool to read this article and react as you wish?
In our contitution first come our duty then come rights.
If we evaluate same yardstick used by you to measure Mahatma, even he will become "Brahminucal,autocrate...so and so forth"
Are not ashamed to publish article like this?

I am all for hindu-muslim unity, but I find people who speak of Brahminism (what the hell is that anyway? Did you just coin a word? Brahminism, I am now supposed to be ashamed that I was born a certain way now?) and cannot criticize the lack of a uniform civil code in the same breath completely biased phonies, as you appear to be Mr. Sikand

Everyone just loves bashing the Hindus, specifically Brahmins. They're the favorite goto scapegoats of everyone. OOOOoooh! Anna Hazare rule with strictness - What a "Brahminical" fascist!
Go head, stumble through the world with a blindfold on your eyes, at least we'll have fun watching you fall in a giant blackhole of your own making.

By "we" I mean Indians (irrespective of religion), and "you" being all the divisive bigots whether they be Congress (Digvijay Singh), BJP (Togadia, NOT Jaitley) or religious fundamentalists like the Syed Bukhari or the Thackerays.
Stop bashing generic classes of people, you ignorant bigoted clowns!

What Anna Hazare's new plans mean for democracy
by Hebbar R on Aug 29, 2011 05:04 PM

The whole Article is just a lot of hot air. If this author refers to some Sharma to say the things he has, he must realise that so many years of study is not required to prove that Indian establishment has become totally corrupt. The whole purpose of this write up seems to be just to malign Hazare and bring in the element of castism into the whole agitation. The aim is clear right from the first few lines where this author seems to suggest of "anti-democratic hindutva ethos".

annna and other democracy
by snidghasinha on Aug 29, 2011 05:03 PM  | Hide replies

People who participate in anna hazare corruption party are more corrupt people. Congress is an open corrupt party not all M.P. But some party are use the ramnam and loot the country. The People of India are not use the RTI not protest the wrong thing what they get from lokpal. If you are corrupt you face the corrupt people if you not must protest it in your own way no need of anna hazara or kiran bedi. Or any media hypie or say now it's an historical win like copy from Egypet and Libyan people. Indian people more copy the egypet and libya then really want to protecst the corruption. some are like to visit lalqualla some are just fun. Bihar and Northern people are most corrupt and they participate the most in this rally. There participate also corrupt the rally in ramlila. Anana hazare is maharati and really honest people. Due Bihari's and Northern People india is corrupt more.

misconcept fascist and paternalism
by zeenat on Aug 29, 2011 05:03 PM  | Hide replies

defn of fascist :- Fascism (/ˈf�ʃɪzəm/) is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] It advocates the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through indoctrination, physical education, and family policy (such as eugenics).[3]

Fascists seek to purge forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration, and to produce their nation's rebirth based on commitment to the national community based on organic unity, in which individuals are bound together by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.[4] Fascists believe that a nation requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[5] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the state

paternalism:-Paternalism refers to an attitude or a policy reminiscent of the hierarchic pattern of a family based on a paternal "CEO".

Now anna neither takes to violence methods to achieve his objective nor his decisions are individual he is pack leader who leads by example so where the hell is fascist and paternalism do some research before writing don't show you know english.

You haven't read it fully I think. "I was poor before and am poor now. We were starving in the past and the situation has not changed for me. I cannot even afford the education of my children. I cannot even open my mouth. Whatever is said in this village, it has to be followed." If this is not as a result of fascism and paternalism, what else is?

Has the writer visited Anna Hazares village or The information posted is taken from a congress party secret survey. It was believing on such fanciful reports that the congress think tank gave the response that resulted in the history that followed. wake up now congress and start thinking about improving the nation instead of trying ro run a smear campain or else the same middle class that voted you to power some years back will vote you out.
