Thoughts provoked

The youth participating in the Candle March from India Gate to Jantar Mantar, New Delhi! " What's in it for me? Why should I have been there? " was what people asked!! [I am sure the politicians literally relied on "THIS" genre of the country and would have been confident about the failure of the movement!! ] A movement - which no one thought would truly inspire and involve the youth of India to such an extent! Supporting  Anna Hazare  ji to pass lokpal bill against corrupt politicians in INDIA! There was a mixed response on the movement in the beginning... Lot of skepticism - people not knowing "what they wanted" and taking it as just another  aamaran anshan or bhook hartal !! Some called it convenient patriotism !! Some compared it to Rang De Basanti, some to some to the other movement, but  India Against Corruption has turned out to be a national movement. All over India, enthusiastic youth with special contribution from the YES!+ tea

desh bhakti ki koi bhasha nahi hoti (there is no language to patriotism) and this is an awesome one with Incredible shots from India A simple English transliteration of the poem is saare jahaan se achcha hindostaan hamaraa hum bul bulain hai is kee, ye gulsitan hamaraa parbat vo sabse unchaa hum saaya aasma kaa vo santaree hamaraa, vo paasbaan hamaraa godee mein khel tee hain is kee hazaaron nadiya gulshan hai jinke dum se, rashke janna hamaraa mazhab nahee sikhataa apas mein bayr rakhnaa hindee hai hum, vatan hai hindostaan hamaraa Translation Better than all the world, is our India We are its nightingales and this is our garden That mountain most high; neighbor to the skies It is our sentinel; it is our protector A thousand rivers play in its lap, Gardens they sustain, the envy of the heavens is ours Faith does not teach us to harbour grudges between us We are all Indians and India is our homeland ~~~~ Happy Republic Day of India !
