No my blog is not about Anna Hazare. It’s about the revolution Anna has started. It’s about the feel, the youth, the system and most importantly AAM JANTA. I grew up listening to stories about freedom fighters. Love watching patriotic movies. Even Rang De Basanti, fills in me a feeling of Triumph, Euphoria, Sincerity, Pain, Anguish and Heart Stirring Emotions. It makes me think that I too need to get involved and do something.
I always thought how would be the feel if I was born at that time. Would I also be the freedom fighter or what? I always regretted not been born at that time, but not now.
Yesterday when I was coming from Connaught place I felt as if I was in the era of 1942, the time when Bhārat Chhoṛo Āndolan was at its peak. Everything looked different, I mean there was as usual lots of crowd on road but this time the crowd was dipped in the color of freedom. Among them were highly educated, old, the youth, children, women, street vendors and many more, protesting against corruption with flags, posters, masks and badges. They were shouting slogans "Anna Hazare Zindabad" , "Bharat Maata Ki Jai", Bhagat Singh and Inquilab Zindabad. Even those who were in cars waving flags, autos had stickers stuck on their front to show their patriotism and their contribution in this movement against corruption.
Everyone looked so thrilled and enthusiastic, all seemed to be the part of that aazadi that we got centuries back but somehow lost somewhere and now it’s the time of renewal I guess!!!
I feel great. “I feel I am important and more powerful. I feel as if this is the flash back. As if everybody is Sukhdev, and Bhagat Singh, I see a revolution happening. I see thousands of people, a new courage, a lot of hope, a spirit to do something!!What I feel good about this is that I always wanted to be a part of that Aazadi Ki Ladai and now it’s happening in front of my eyes.
No this is not dream, this is not a movie, this is a revolution, a true revolution against Corruption. Thank you Anna Hazare for showing us the way, the same way as you did many years ago during the freedom struggle. Anna has started, it has to go on, not only at Ramlila Maidan but at every level in different places.
Wake up and shake up is needed.
