ANNA HAJARE


Anna Hazare is known as a second Gandhi today. He is a driving force in initiating the anti-corruption campainge in the country. What was that which forced Anna to do this? After all, who is Anna Hazare?

Anna Hazare is a common Indian, though possesses equal importance as a celebrity does in India. Anna was frustrated. He wanted to end his life. He was without the answer of the purpose of human existence. One day, at the New Delhi Railway Station, by chance he saw one book with Swami Vivekananda's photograph and that book turned his life. He got the answer, the purpose of life. The answer he got is: Life is for the service of mankind, fellow humans.

As we are all aware how Anna influence is influencing Indians. He lighted and initiated the terrific war against corruption. And lakhs of indians are in support. From common persons to the high profile personalities have joined the AUGUST KRANTI.

Anna Hazare started a hunger strike on 5 April 2011 to exert pressure on the Indian government to enact a strict anti-corruption law as envisaged in the Jan Lokpal Bill.

At 74, he is fighting with the positive spirit and that has touched the Indians and took them out from their homes and offices to Ramlila Maiden, New Delhi. Anna said to media: "I have made the decision of my life. It is up to the government to pass the (Jan Lokpal) bill. If it is not passed in this session, I will continue my fast till my last breath."

Kisan Baburao Hazare, popularly known as Anna Hazare is a social activist from Bhingar, a small village near the city of Hinganghat, in Maharashtra. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award—by the Government of India in 1992 for his efforts in establishing Ralegan Siddhi, a village as a model for others.
