Anna Hazare’s 12-day fast has resulted in the victory of the jan and jantantra (people and democracy) and reiterates the supremacy of the people and Parliament’s authority (“Parliament bows to aam aadmi,” August 28). It is the defeat of cynics who saw the current youth of India as the MTV generation that is completely disconnected with the country’s ethos, issues and problems. The Lok Pal Bill is not the last nail in the coffin of corruption; it is just the first.
