2nd Father of Nation

     This is the 2nd time in the history of this great nation called India, that citizens have united for an revolutionary movement which would change the fate of this nation for times to come.

      People of India are basically friendly, loving & peaceful by nature. It is this that our history reflects. India as a nation has never ever invaded any nation for the past 10,000 years. Non-Violence has been an structural element in our psychology.

     Weak transport systems, weak media network, no online social network, more poor & illiterate people, above all ruled by a foreign unjust nation , these were the circumstances through which our father of nation “Mahatma Gandhi” lightened a torch of non-violent protest to free our own nation. A unlimited source of energy & inspiration for humanity to achieve equal rights for living by an non-violent way.

     64 years after freedom India as a nation has gone through little ups and more downs. The torch that our father passed us by has diminished in intensity. Self interest has broken its boundaries creating more wider unequal Indian society. Co-operative societies have been deteriorated & now operated by only a few. Our feeling of unity, equality & responsibility for our nation has been faded. Administrators, politicians, bureaucracy, law and order system & people themselves are moving towards a dark side.

     It was this moment of time that all circumstances conspired for an 2nd greatest revolution which lightened every Indian mind with same old thought of unity, equality, co-operation, social responsibility & above all humanity.
     Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence Anna Hazare was the one who pushed the drafting and sanctioning of RTI (Right To Information) Act. firstly in Maharashtra & then all around the country. This started a feeling of involvement & confidence in every citizen towards fighting injustice.
     It was this beginning that unfolded many scams. It was RTI Act. That uncovered the Adarsh scam. Biggest scams such as 2g, common wealth also were uncovered recently. This made people think for nation. And at this perfect time Anna Hazare has raised against the government to push them for drafting civil society’s lokpal bill.
     People are erupting to support him for his good cause with huge support from media networks, social networks & the Indian youth. This will take us as a nation towards a good new prosperous shore, towards a nation which we all dream of. And if this happens Anna Hazare will surely be our “2nd Father of Nation”.
