It's Not About Anna

No respected Anna Hazareji, it’s not about you

.

And neither is it about India’s favourite Olympian Suresh Kalmadi.

It’s not about Raja-ji and 2G.

 It’s not about ‘Q’ and his kickbacks (let’s give to him, at least the guns fired when needed).

It’s not about the housing scheme run by our government for the really needy.

It’s not about how ‘adarsh’ our politicians are. 

It’s not about a certain gentleman who ate up all the ‘chara’ meant for cattle.

It’s not about ‘a-safe-heaven-to-stash-away-all-the-black-money’ being labeled as ‘bank account’. (I would rather prefer chocolates and a certain tennis player from that country though.)

It’s not about how someone used ‘tel-ghee’ to print stamp-papers instead of official government ink.

It’s also not about the fact that our parliament is no more a place to debate and implement say a primary health care policy, but a place where cash is traded for votes.

It’s about the ‘thug’ lurking in each one of us.

It’s time we stopped heeding to him every time it tries to hoodwink us by saying ‘chalta hai’ and ‘is desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta’.

It’s time we ostracized him.

It’s about the state of the world that we are going to hand over to our children.

It’s not about Anna.

It’s about US.
