Anna Hajare 's fast 2.0

Indian social reformer Anna Hajare returned to Delhi's Jantar Mantar ground once again yesterday for a symbolic one day fast. This one day fast might be considered as a continuation of his old marathon fast or a totally new effort. This fast carried out in presence of the leaders of the opposition part leaders on the same platform was bound to be a sore point for the ruling party and they reacted angrily as expected. Yet, this fast proved once again that no one can beat Anna Hajare in playing strategic political moves.

When Anna Hajare had earlier made an announcement of this symbolic fast, many people, including me, were very skeptical about the purpose, objective and what could be achieved by such a fast? However as things turned out, I understand now, how much thinking and planning Anna Hajare must have done to successfully carry out this fast and achieve his objectives.
