Lately, friend of mine texted me to read Arundhati Roy's I'd rather not be Anna article published in The Hindu newspaper. Previously I too blogged on the topic and it once received huge traffic . I always boast myself that Tamil has huge number of authors who can get to depth . Though there are lots of critical views on Anna Hazare issue, the best critic I have read is from Settaikkaran blog  "உண்ணா" ஹஜாரேயும் ஊழல் எதிர்ப்பு நாடகமும் As long as we have such in-depth articles in Tamil, we may not get victimized by TRP mafia of north India.

In recent times, barkhagate scam clearly shows that the Indian media is much corrupt than the politicians. They give unnecessary hype to certain things to get TRP . Ever since Anna has gone compared himself with Gandhi and Shivaji , it was clear that he's trying to draw politicians attention. It was a clean tactic than what Medha Patkar or any maoists couldn't get such hype. The TwitGens [sic] can't really understand how a Lokpal (ombudsman) system can even be corrupt; remember that the author of Savaukku did quit from DVAC (Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption). Economic Times article on this issue shares my views; I don't understand why they couldn't get such views published in Times of India. I think, we can't expect anything good from the media that's vehemently pushing AIADMK. Will Lok Pal be a Super Bureaucrat? Anna Hazare: Was Lok Pal protest compatible with constitutional democracy?

I like the concept of WikiLeaks , the non-profit media organization that leaks "truth". Being anarchist at heart, I strongly believes that WikiLeaks like efforts will erase the borders around the earth. All forms of governments are existing there to add enmity between mankind--in the form nations and borders. The efforts of WikiLeaks must be applauded as it leaks how such intentions are harmful and indecent. Hope, it's a good chance for those nations to repent from their divisive policies. Remember, Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi were anarchists.
