The Wall Shit Journal and I: Sid Harth

The rascals, rats, rogues and ruffians at, guess what, The Wall Shit Journal ensored my legitimate comment. Not the first time either.
"Elsewhere in the field, Vijayshree, a housewife from the Mumbai suburb of Vashi, said she had brought her four-year-old son with her so that it makes an indelible impression on him that graft is wrong."
At the age of four, one cannot distinguish from a graft, a craft and a draft. This boy has attained education, obviously, from his mother, Vijayashri, a housewife by profession. I hate my own mom. She was also a housewife, illiterate and hardly ever left the house we lived in, except to go to a temple in the evening. I insisted on going with her. Mostly, she hated me for this rebelling against her authority and the second, most important reason being, she had to carry me, with all those household clothes to wash. The temple was about two miles away. Going was not bad as we lived on a hill, top of a very steep hill. While coming back, she had to carry all those wet clothes and me, mostly sleeping back home. A job a donkey would not do.
At 4, I was speechless.   ^ The call for determined, but passive resistance that signified the certitude that Gandhi foresaw for the movement is best described by his call to Do or Die, issued on 8 August at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay, Not because of Mahatma Gandhi's speech but I had not learned to speak, as yet.

Old and Young Swell Crowds as Hazare Speaks

In

By Megha Bahree


Megha Bahree/The Wall Street Journal
Supporters of Anna Hazare at the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai, Dec. 27.
MMRDA GROUNDS, Mumbai—As anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare took to the stage to speak in Mumbai, an influx of people to the grounds where he began a three-day protest fast Tuesday began to swell the numbers of attendees.
It’s hard to put an exact figure on the crowd, but it’s probably approaching 10,000 people, double the number earlier in the day. But it’s still a significantly lower turnout than in Delhi earlier this year, when Mr. Hazare’s fast drew tens of thousands of supporters, and below the 50,000 that organizers were expecting.

Megha Bahree/The Wall Street Journal
A supporter sporting a mask of Mr. Hazare at the MMRD grounds, Dec 27.
It’s crucial for Mr. Hazare, a self-described Gandhian who holds no elected office, to draw large crowds in his bid to influence the composition of an anti-graft ombudsman, or Lokpal.
“At some point then, the public will teach the government a lesson,” Mr. Hazare, 74, told the cheering crowd. “The government has not seen what people power is.  It is more powerful than Parliament.”
He even alluded to India’s struggle for independence from Britain in the the first half of the 20th century. “People have to make sacrifices for their country. (Hundreds of thousands) of people made sacrifices for our independence. To protect that freedom, it is time for sacrifice once again. I am not lecturing you. But to serve society and country, that is why we are given life.”
As he spoke, the Lower House of Parliament in Delhi continues to debate the Congress party-led government’s version of the Lokpal bill, which Mr. Hazare has slammed as too soft on corruption.The Bharatiya Janata Party and some other opposition parties, siding with Team Anna, formally proposed earlier Tuesday some 50 amendments to the government’s version of the bill. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee stepped out of Parliament to meet senior government ministers to discuss the amendments.
Back at the MMRDA Grounds, a big public space in the posh western suburb of Bandra, where Mr. Hazare is publicy fasting, some in the crowd said they were stalwarts of Mr. Hazare’s earlier Delhi protests.
Dressed in Gandhian garb, Manohar Anand, 43, a former soldier like Mr. Hazare, waved an Indian flag and danced to patriotic Indian songs before the speeches got underway. He joined Mr Hazare in his protests and fasts this year in Delhi and reached MMRDA grounds last night from his village in Maharashtra state and began fasting again.
As speeches by Team Anna got underway, a group of kids from a Mumbai neighborhood, escorting a young girl on a wheelchair, came up to the front of the crowd.

Megha Bahree/The Wall Street Journal
Manohar Anand, 43, a former soldier waved the Indian tricolour and danced to patriotic Indian songs at the MMDRA grounds in Mumbai.
The apparent spokesperson for the group, Neeta Rajendra Tak, 17, said she had experienced first-hand the corruption that Mr. Hazare was here to fight. She needed a high school leaving certificate, a mandatory document for college applications, but when she applied was told to pay 700 Indian rupees instead of the 25 rupees it should have cost. “I’m fed up of this corruption,” she said.
But the kids with her weren’t always too sure what was going on. Rupali Chandelia, 12, said she had come to support Anna so he could get rid of the “evil people.” Shubham Pradip, 9, couldn’t stop crying because he had a stomach ache and wanted to go back home.
Elsewhere in the field, Vijayshree, a housewife from the Mumbai suburb of Vashi, said she had brought her four-year-old son with her so that it makes an indelible impression on him that graft is wrong. Her husband, who works at the local office of the Japanese financial and industrial conglomerate Nomura Group, had taken the day off to join the crowds.
“I don’t want our children to deal with the sort of corruption that we’ve all dealt with,” she said. Looking at her son who was fidgeting in her lap she said, “What he’s seeing today, he’ll learn from it and he’ll appreciate it.”
