If Motivation is like Fire, Complacency is Water that puts it out

I was reading a forwarded mail containing an eyewitness account of the Ramlila grounds episode against corruption. It is sad that even such a momentum and public sentiment gathered over the years could not achieve its goal against corruption. Someday, hopefully, it will. Punishing a handful and passing a "weak" lokpal bill is a good beginning, but hardly matches the magnitude of the problem or the movement against it. What is even more deplorable are the efforts to curb people's voice. Let's see who finally wins in a land where the common man eventually prevailed whenever the question really raised its head.
