Victory of people

There are times when citizens of a nation rise above the individual conviction, it becomes a collective consciousness, a mass sentiment, a universal perception in driving the human solidarity for a mission towards creating the history. This time it's the crusade against corruption. And the people of India from all sections of society have proved that the state supremacy defined by a wagon of selective elites of this country can't downplay the sovereign power of people in a democratic setup. Finally, the people of the largest democratic country have won a war against corruption by initiating a starting point by shaking the government to bow down to the public pressure that the so called Lok Pal bill which was first initiated during 1966 and put in the Parliament in 1968 for approval, but for some reasons it was not passed then and even by successive governments in last 42 years, has finally taking a historic move with an unprecedented decision in democratic governance. A history is created. And the entire credit goes to those people across the country who overwhelmingly supported Anna Hazare in this incredible journey to support the crusade against corruption. It's the single biggest victory of people after Independence. Undoubtedly, India has witnessed the power of revolution, a revolution that can even bend the toughest power block, as we have seen here, specifically in this fight against corruption, which erupted from a decision by Anna Hazare's fasting unto death, and eventually the people of India joined the movement to take it forward. If it's a historic call by Anna Hazare, the people of India have responded to it overwhelming. This is a triumph of Anna Hazare, and this is a victory of people. Long live the spirit of citizens.
