Fight the Corruption : Gandhian Way

A Letter to All Indians -

Whole of Indian masses and their mentalities are suffering under corrupt practices of politicians and administrators. Against this, various individuals and organizations are struggling in their own ways. As an initiative of this type, 87 year old and a father figure to all of us has declared his 'fast unto death' at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi from 5th April 2011. His demand is that the government immediately enact a legislation to punish corrupt person within 3 months of the case coming to light and confiscate all his/her ill-gotten wealth.

Some organizations and modern leaders are busy in shining their leadership at the cost of life of the octogenarian. I have requested them to come forward in large number to fast unto death in place of the fast by Shri Anna Hazare. But this went unheeded by them. Therefore, I have decided to go on fast unto death at Jantar Mantar from 5th April 2011 with the same demand and accordingly informed the President and the Prime Minister of India. Along with this, I have requested Shri Anna Hazare not to go on his proposed fast but be present at the site as an inspiration to the self-sacrificing persons like me.

With this, I request you all -

1. Present yourself for fast unto death at Jantar Mantar. New Delhi along with me with advance intimation to the President and Prime Minister of India.
2. Who are unable to go on fast unto death, be present at the site and fast in accordance with their individual capacities and be part of the struggle.
3. Who are unable to follow the above request for their far-away locations, they organize mass hunger strikes in their respective villages, towns and cities from 5th April 2011 with advance intimations to their respective District Magistrates.
4. Inspire all your friends and relations to do any of the things given above.

Friends, I took fast on last Friday at home to myself to signify my heart is with these Gandhians for a cause and it is inline with my principles.

I Hope all the Gandhians love me irrespective of anything that goes wrong politically or socially.

I also hope that that love would transform in to a great energy that would add more power to fight against the evil and seek for justice.

I finally hope that even if the government does not show love to Gandhian efforts, let it think in terms of intellectual and other practical means whatever it claims that it exist for.

While I certainly admire the dedication here, I thought  Gandhi's approach to fasts was that one only fast on those who love you. That does not seem to be the case here.
