You will see that Chandra Jains message WAS posted to this group about
10 hours before your message
It seems that you have no respect for the moderation abilities of the
management of this group or their honesty and integrity.
It seems that you have more faith in a bunch of communal and corrupt
people who are doing their best to fragment our country.
I note that you have evaded replying to my point on the status of all
the other laws on corruption. At the end of the day even the LokPal
Act will only be just another law to be implemented. Certainly every
order made under it will be subject to appeal in a High Court or the
Supreme Court. Is LokPal Bill going to magically clean up the mess in
these Courts ? Today I have a Contempt matter I filed in SC listed
( in MC Mehta pollution matter). The Court is taking it up as a "New
PIL" along with a similar clutch from 2005-2006 after a delay of 6
years - and that too only after I sent an email last month to the
Registrar General of the Court complaining of the pervasive corruption
in the SC Registry. I m certain the bench will wring its hands in mock
anguish and dispose of the matter as infructuous now that all the
contemnors have retired. If the SC has no respect for contempt against
itself, then should citizens believe in law and justice, or should
they take up arms to defend the state ?
I reiterate that the majority of Indians are simple decent people who
should not concern themselves with high level corruption. Tackling
such high level corruption is not going to be solved with laws, laws
and more laws. They can only be solved with a bloody violent
revolution to safeguard democracy and the values enshrined in our
Constitution. Indians today are soft weak and lazy. We need new
Indians not new laws

Or is it a case of 'severe heartburn & nothing else' as mentioned by Mr. Chandra K Jain in his message, the message which did not find place on the group message board or conveniently removed.

The existing legislations have proved to be ineffective and have been misused, exploited or taken for a spin by our hardcore politicians and bureaucrats. Again and again. And you are certainly aware of the same. Our laws have been changed with the changing times. And that is required to keep pace with the dynamics & laws of motion. Several of the acts have been amended and several have been repealed and some have been superseded. If Lok Pal Bill can supersede any other weaker laws what is wrong in it ?

> You are questioning the fairness in the constitution of the draft committee from the civil society side just because it does not include a Muslim, a Christian, a Parsi or a Adi Dharmi. I do not know your community but you state that you represent a ten million strong community. It is sad this is coming from you, of all the people. Now you want the committee to be divided and formed on religion lines. Mayawati already raised that the committee does not contain someone from dalit community. And she wants the committee to be divided and formed on caste lines. Some one else will stand out and would demand that each state should have a member in the committee (what prevents ?). And every political party would seek representation in the committee. After all this is democracy. The people who are opposing the committee and dividing the same on caste and communal lines are the people who do not want such a bill taking a shape, leave alone getting it passed in the legislature. All their efforts are pointing towards derailing the entire process. And these are the same people who have brought us to this sorry state of affairs today.

> Anna Hazare never claimed he was a war hero. He was a driver in the army and was a partaker in the 1967 war. And Anna is reported to be using his piece of land (gifted to him by the govt.) for the welfare of the community. And Anna has earned his respect for the deeds he has done for the community. The govt. relented and is in the process of making a Lok Pal draft bill all because of Anna's involvement. Any other person would not have made such an impact on the government.
