| Why Are the Real Victims of India's Corrupt System Not Enthusiastic About Anna’s Movement? | |
By Bhanwar Megwanshi
(Translated from Hindi by Yoginder Sikand, NewAgeIslam.com)
Anna Hazare’s ‘anti-corruption’ has received considerable support across the country. The ‘mainstream’ media is awash with stories about Anna and his fast. It is as if there is nothing else happening in India that is worth reporting about.
But, at the same time as the media is busy projecting Anna and his movement, a vast section of India’s population—the country’s Dalits, Adivasis and religious minorities, who are at the bottom of India’s social pyramid and who suffer the most at the hands of the corrupt system that Anna and his supporters are supposedly denouncing—have maintained a studied distance from this movement.
