AN ANN-SHUN -------SAT PAL

Our country which gave a weapon of non-voilence as conceived and propogated by Mahatma Gandhi has been able to dislodge the world’s the mightiest power. This very methodology received recognition at international level. A number of weapons of non-voilence are being utilized to achieve the objectives of Satyagrah being initiated by a large number of organizations and political and social bodies. Let us discuss various forms of non violent satyagrah which are dharna i.e. sit in, strike i.e. to stop work, demonstration, fast i.e. to stop taking food or anshan or bhookh hartal, indefinite fast and aamaran annshan i.e. fast until death. It is worthwhile to note that the intention behind undertaking the fast must be a noble one and not derogatory to any common cause. There has been incidents of adopting such means to get fulfilled the demands by the authorities. The non –violent agitations were being dealt with mercilessly during the British regime. Under the satyagrah, the agitators are not supposed to retaliate in any form. There has been a long history of the fast un till death. It may be recalled that Sri Prkasham in Andhra Pradesh, Sardar Darshan Singh Pheruman in Panjab and recently Sant Nigmanand in Utrakhand lost their lives during their sit in indefinite hunger strike undertaken by them on different causes.
The recent fasts undertaken by Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare drew attention of one and all. The story of Baba Ramdev has been termed as an unfortunate though Hazare has been able to generate more and more heat out of his well planned gandhian agitation. The pe ople has started using Annagiri as a term after Gandhiri being used after the success of a film starring Sanjay Dutt. Since Anna shifted his field of operation from Maharashtra to New Delhi , all the fasts undertaken by him, including one day fast at Rajghat, have attracted masses and been able to ignite a spirit of nationalism across the country. Despite large crowds, well coined slogans, long marches, peaceful demonstrations and so called discipline shown by the participants, the mere objective of the movement is yet to be disseminated correctly and injected into the hearts and the minds of people who has been following the crowd like BHED CHAL. The showdown between Anna team and the government is bound to reach the peak though both the parties seems to keen on an early settlement as Anna team might be aware that it will be too difficult to hold the crowd in fact for a longer duration and the government will never want it to see it prolonged and might try to end this so called civilized protest as early as possible since Parliament session is on.

The very issue of Jan Lok Pal Bill and Corruption is not so easy to be resolved with a magic wand, it looks , that both the parties have already realized this hard fact and would like to reach some face saving agreement. Any how the youth who came out in support of Anna team has no objective other than being part of a movement which has been converted into a mela and a festival to rejoice together to become the centre of attraction. A sea of Gandhi caps and un dignified display of the Tri colour is not being liked by those intellectuals who take the constitution and freedom movement in high esteem . Any how Ann- shun , i.e. not taking food or Ann by Anna has become the top story in the news world.
