A Letter to Anna Hazare and Medha Padker -Upavas in Delhi-23-March-2013

  A letter

         I have written to Anna Hazare and Medha Padker , when Sri Arvind Kejriwal was doing upavas at Delhi , Both responded very positively , When Medha ji was doing hunger strike in mumbay few days later Arvindji responded immediately. Letter is still relevant -the  Second independence movement has started .Now I am calling you come forward! . Uphold the dignity  of this great nation - Build up the Holly alliance against the unholy nexus of Corporates ,greedy politicians and maroons in higher echelons of power   

 Now letter is Addressed to you, Proud  Indian,----
"
Respected Medhaji,and Most respected Annaji ,

Sub: Bijeli-Paani Antholan started by Sri Arvind Kejriwal- Request for support

As you are well aware of the great Antholan ,Arvindhji has shouldered with your blessings , and the tactic's of total ignorance played by the print and electronic media in perfect harmony with the interest of the Ruling and opposing? political parties together with corporate ,forms a nexus . I need not mention to you the great need for a holy alliance, to counter the unholy nexus .I have quoted the following famous German Holocaust poem “ by Martin Niemöller in a similar letter to my friends in Delhi and else where -Most of them are academicians -students and people adopting different paradigms to fight against corruption in different levels

“First They Came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me !”,..........

Last line omitted since the poem seems to be better with out it !

Translating mutatis mutandis   to Indian context When writing to Great patriots like Medhaji  and Annaji it reads “They came for Narmada-,then Koodamkulam - , Manipure , Small farmers -In Maharastra and elsewhere -Small merchants,Civil Servants and employees , Academicians and researchers - Bijali-Pani users in Delhi and other places “-chronology doesn't matter , ---- how much more we have to suffer - and the common denominator of all their attempts were Mega -Corruptions .

While Annaji and Great Indians like Medhaji represents the soul of the new renaissance movement based on Humanism, Arvindhji rightly trying to build up the spirit and body to the new independence movement – .

He is now in an Antholan –inspired by the great " Anna-Movement " future historians should proudly call it the "Great -Bijali-Pani Antholan in Delhi-2013 " started on 23-March ,a remarkable day in Indian History ,(1931 ) BHAGATH SINGH, RAJGURU and SUKHDEV Sacrificed their life for my country - . You know better than me that Arvind 's life is precious - THE hunger strike is to be brought to its logical end immediately. With a huge rally in Delhi where Annaji , Medha Patker an other similar great souls of India is participating – Yes it is my dream ! I know the  obstacles that the Corrupt Government ' may create . Most probably there will not be Metro or other transport facilities available in the coming days ,They are past masters of their own bad and tragic tricks -I am afraid !!. If we can mobilize a big rally people walking from all corners of Delhi to a common place -India can witness the event and Arvindhji can with draw the Hunger -strike- (Not the Antholan it shall continue ) Amm Admy of India get honored .Even with out huge rally ,we can declare the Hunger strike over this time , exposing the unethical silence of Indian Mass media – Declaration for a free and independent TV channel can be made at the venue -

For the success of any movement we have to create a background where democratic values and freedom of thought and expression -and people of India must get themselves free from fear to express their demands ,needs and anguish related to the disgrace of being the citizens of the most corrupted country .

As the Antholan continues, they should  not pay the water- Electricity bills  Some will reconnect (Civil disobedience) - others can shift  to Solar -Wind and other sustainable alternatives – and generators .Residence associations, dedicated volunteers and N.G.Os can do a lot to implement the scheme . Shop owners can display Antholan banners with no electric power from corrupted agencies - Indians move around with badges and placards .

Parallels in history are "Salt Strike and  Abandoning of Western dress” by MAHATMAJI .

As Respected Adv. Shanthi Bhushan correctly put the historic lesson “This is the last bus to democracy and next is Anarchy “Let us prevent Anarchy for the sake of our future generations.

Please Come out in Support of the Historic Antholan which is the logical continuation of “Anna Movement “"
