Firstly,Who is Anna Hazare,Where he is from,Why is so much buzz going around for him etc etc.....
Let us see "WHO IS ANNA"
He often calls himself a fakir ,a man who has no family, no property and no bank balance. He lives in a 10ft x 10ft spartan room attached to the Yadavbaba temple in Ahmednagar's Ralegan Siddhi village, 110km from Pune and wears only khadi. Anna Hazare is one of well-acclaimed social activists. A former soldier in the Indian army.He was born on January 15, 1940 in Bhingar village of Ahmednagar district to a family of an unskilled labourer who owned five acres of cultivable land. Adverse conditions pushed their family into the grip of poverty and in 1952 Hazare moved into his ancestral home in Ralegan Siddhi. He was brought up by a childless aunt who funded his education in Mumbai but financial instability pushed him into selling flowers for a living and he had to quit studies after Class VII.
But when 71-year-old Kisan Baburao Hazare alias Anna starts an agitation, every leader from Mumbai to Delhi sits up and takes notice. Even his detractors and politicians who hate his guts, grudgingly accept he is the only person who has the power to mobilize common people across the country and shake up a government. His small frail body has taken several blows from the countless agitations, tours and hunger strikes he has undertaken since he came in public life in 1975.
"I am not scared of death. I have no family to cry over me and if I die while doing something for the country I would be happy. We need to start a second freedom movement to get rid of corruption, red tapism, delays in government offices, frequent transfers of honest officials and lack of transparency," he says. Anna lost his mother Laxmibai in 2002 and has two married sisters — one in Mumbai and another in Sangamner who worry everytime their "stubborn brother starts an indefinite hunger strike". However Anna has chosen to firmly stay away from any family ties and never visits his sisters. "I do have a home in Ralegan Siddhi but I have never set foot inside it in the last four decades," he once said.
This August,Anna hazare has ignited the patriotism among nations youth,to fight for a better future,to fight for corruption free nation.For this,anna has asked for a Jan-LokpAl bill,which according to him will not only fight corruption but will demolish it completely.As now the govt. of INDIA has declined to accept this bill,this modern Gandhi has started his Anshan(no food till acceptance and passing of THE JAN-LOKPAL BILL in Parliament).Millions of people came in support of anna,all across the country.NOW,its upto you which side you are............................
