Dont get me started on him. The guy has about 300 million in networth which are all charitable donations. Are you telling me that HE cares about corruption? He is an opportunistic god peddler who wants to turn this circus in to an attempt at politics and further power play. Some people can see through his shell game, but in the end this wouldnt have solved anything for the country.

I'm not local and the depth of my knowledge on the situation is "some Yogi". But I'm inclined to think some action is better than no action, when it comes to fixing things.

  "some action is better than no action, when it comes to fixing things" So, as a (presumably) professional coder, you believe this? I'm inclined to STRONGLY disagree. There's a time for decisiveness of action , sure, but it usually follows once you've established a strategy. "Some act is better than no act" is false without lots of caveats.

    A) "inclined to think" B) politics != programming C) Think you could write out the caveats for me? If you do it quick I can still edit them into my original post. Thanks.

Whats wrong with his protest. He is anyway better than the corrupt politicians of India....People supporting cause he raised and they will support these causes even if a corrupt politician raises it... it is not individuals but causes which are supported... I agree he is doing all to gain political gains, but the cause must be supported IMO

@Cherian_Abraham, So what's wrong with it? All those assets are accountable. Not stashed away in an anonymous bank in Switzerland. I am more interested to know how much cut did ruling party president and prime minister got in 2G scam and Commonwealth Games scam.

  A guy who claims he can cure AIDS and Cancer through Yoga and breathing exercises. A guy who believes he can uproot a government because he has "the power of the people" and "220 million". I dont think thats the face you want on the front of an anti-corruption crusade. Anna Hazare on the other hand is much more believable and ethical. I am not apologizing for anyone. I dont think the Prime Minister is corrupt, but everything below is scarred by corruption.
