Anna, we are the youths who have great hope from your satyagrah, Who went on vigils at Tihar, Ramlila Maidan, India Gate and Jantar Mantar. We still have our support for you...
However, we are deeply hurt by your team being accommodating political tricks of reservations and secularism. And I think you must clear it first, if you differentiate corruption charges based on caste and religion. If you don't differentiate, why there is a need to caste quota and ullema quota in your team.
I have great respect for Arvind Bhai, have been detained by Delhi police on several accounts together... Be it RTI movement or 'cash-for-vote' issue. However, the recent development withing the protest team to be explained.
Four years ago, when 40-50 thousand youths gathered in Delhi demanding equal treatment in education, they were treated with water cannon and tear gas bombs. No one from 'civil' society or political parties raised their issue... Not even you Anna! The problem of corruption lies in root cause of caste, creed and religion being manifested in bureaucracy, politics and public life. You tell me, if I score 90% and get denied of admission despite my economic adversaries and those who are rich and score just about 30% get admission - What is the logic, can you control corruption without treating everyone equal?
Those who cry about social justice through reservations, must note that stop fooling the common man. Reservations are there only to leverage caste sentiments. There are only few thousands of seats in IITs, IIMs and central universities. Few hundreds in state and central civil services. To get benefits of these facilities there are millions of rich families from each and every caste. In several accounts thousands of them taking it since generations.
If Shastri ji had born today, despite his hard work, being a poor unreserved candidate he could not have made it anywhere. It was just a single example how misuse of caste, creed and religion taking place... And they know it all.
Anna, tired of all bullshit I along with my thousands of friends come to you in August 2011. But what we got today... If you don't clarify and rectify your fight on political accusations, I see no hope. Even if your Lokpal come, things will be same.
My heart is not broken by this chameleon behaviour of your team, I had already done my national movements and protests. Country today needs Azad and Bhagat, else a Gandhi along with several Nehrus and Ambedkars will divide this nation again.

Only economically sound people are able to harp the benefits of reservation.
I just don't understand, why should an IAS' son get quata in IIT/IIM/jobs? On what grounds should he/she be treated as oppressed & backward??
The purpose of this article is that - we are not fools, neither deaf, everything else is already told!
I will not go a doc for treatment just because he is of a particulr caste or relligion. I will look out only for one who will provide solution.
It should be the same. After the initial stages, all should be treated equal and the best should move forward.
Respect for your + many other youth who have sacrifice their carrier but participated in such agitation...As you said in the beginning Anna Ji's Respect will be for ever...but what Cast has to do with Corruption :( Why Arvind Ji need to appease certain sector of the society ...why ?? so many Question..one can say stay focus ....Cause is bigger agree..but why Team is diverting from Cause.
Still as a common man support Strong Anti Corruption Law but not with rider...We need your support...We do not need your support..
Regards: Girish
split people but end of day without setting up this correctly we can't curb corruption and dirty politics on caste
if govt after independent worked hard to give education to all with help of motivated swatantra senani s n also focused on eradication of castism . we can get rid of reservation policy which is totally against merit n hurting us as nation.
The question is this - many have allowed the moment of change to pass them by. Will that time ever return............... ?
AS is right to question the issues above but it is these questions in the minds of many that may have caused lethargy...... the question is - how do you combat it?
Probably you have not read about Ambedkar well. Read this:
'There is not one instance, not one single, solitary instance in which Ambedkar participated in any activity connected with that struggle to free the country'
