Anna & Boys

While the intellectual class celebrates a long weekend in the sprawling RamLila in the name of crusade against corruption, teenage boys are being groomed in the north of Srinagar in the name of the crusade against oppression.
The boys in all possibility dont know what they are doing but are more ill-advised to spoil their life in the name of god or freedom, the hero of India at the moment Anna is more than ill-advised in the hope that he is going to see a spring during the winter of his life.
The boys in Srinagar who hardly had been to proper schools neither understand the UN resolution nor the history of Kashmir but have been brain washed. Anna and his educated group in all possibility does not understand the nuances/impact of the bill they are forcing.

The boys have been told that they go direct to the heaven once their task is completed. May be Anna is advised that he will go directly across Raisina Hill once his task is accomplished.

Both the boys and Anna create maximum damage for the society by threatening supreme sacrifice. While boys could create maximum physical damage, Anna and his group are threatening to maximise the impact across the breath of India by utter disregard for the Constituent Assembly that foresaw all these. Both the boys and Anna have utter disregard for dissent agains them. Even LTTE at its peak did not bounce at dissent like what the crusaders against corruption are doing now.

While Anna's current theatrics will finish before Ganesh Chathurthi making him another hero, the boys will continue their protest and there would be no stopping in it. At least the boys are doing it without any knowledge. They are ill-advised , misguided possibly by even their parents. But the coterie around Anna if they succeed in their war is the biggest danger to India and free speech. It is the imposition of right wing ideology without wearing a saffron.
