When Anna Hazare was able to convince the nation of his earnestness to root out corruption in public life, there was jubilation all around the country. The first few steps taken to reach the negotiating table, for discussing the contents of the proposed 'Lokpal' bill, showed maturity on both the sides and I, for one, thought that we'd soon have a draft that would be universally acceptable.
But alas, the sparring has begun and with the latest CD episode that has surfaced, the ugly side of the confrontation is there for everyone to see. And it's a sad state of affairs!
43 years of dithering and somewhere close to an effective Lokpal bill - the brakes seem to be coming on, yet again. Do we, Indians, want to remain corrupt and ridiculed by others for being so? Surely not, I'm sure we shall overcome!
