Thank God We are Still Alive

 Just a months back I was thinking that we are only seem alive but actually we are dead, because for last several  years I never felt the sense of active democracy that was demonstrated by people of India in last week during protest for JANLOKPAL led by Anna Hazare and his team.
In my life I have never seen such a big public mobilization for a good cause, I have seen several political gathering  but most of the crowed in political rallies are hired these days , keeping this fact in mind it seem that Indian democracy is now taking a U turn and now soon it will not listen old song played by politician.
I visited the protest ground (RAMLEELA Ground) four time and every time I realized some new aspect of public sentiments. There are something I will never forgot and would be happy to share

Friction Less Movement :- unlike any other movement this protest was   very much self managed I never witnessed any such event of rush, most of the people were stick to honor  interpersonal distances particularly in cases of female   protesters.

Fear less protest  :-In my life this is first such are big public mobilization in which people was not afraid of miss-happening, that`s why people turned-up  it with their families. There was a good trust between people and law enforcement authorities(Police) and most of the policeman were bare hand. Though there was very minor events of clash but definitely they were not part of  protester they were ill minded  peoples who tries  to create a bad face of this protest but they failed in absolute term.

No Loss of National Property :- Another best part of this moment didn’t causes even single loss of property. In the past we have several agitations that has caused a lot of damage to national property. Thanks to all protester this time.

Nation Wide Protest : - Another positive side of this protest was that it was not limited to metro cities only, even very small cities participate as well though there was no camera their
Record Barking Turnaround:- This agitation setup a new bench  mark of public turnaround , at an average more than one Lakh turn around per day with peak gathering reaching to 1.3 Lakh.

Self funded and Self Motivated: This agitation was fully self funded , you can`t believe that people were donating of their own will. Surprising was that , after a week of agitation organizer stops taking donation and told to the public that there is no shortage of fund, this also indicates the level of transparency in the entire agitation. Surprising is all the food stall were fully organized by volunteers.

Political Outcome:- Best part of this  movement was what we saw in parliament, first time in history all the politician start singing the same song otherwise we have always felt that our parliament is turning like subji mandi . 
Moral of the entire story is that when we will start asking question to our politician they will be force to think about the country instead of Party.
