The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
-Che Guevara
We wanted to show our support to this movement which had spread like wild fire throughout the country. To the man who went on a hunger strike to ensure that the country gets what is deserved. It was nice to see people of all ages come together in solidarity. The march was organised by Dr. R. Balasubrahmaniam, founder of Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement. It began at Crawford hall at 10:00 A.M, holding out placards and shouting slogans. We went past Marimallappa's school, towards the exhibition grounds and the march culminated at Gandhi Square, where we took an oath to not give or take bribes and be an example of honesty for others.
It was a satisfying Sunday, to be a part of this movement :) Not to mention the priority you get when you have a camera slung around your neck:) (a couple of people asked if I am from the press, well) .Hoping that the bill will be passed and things work out as planned. Imagine, if the country is posting a growth rate of 8% per annum with such rampant corruption, how would things be if we rooted out all the corruption and made sure that the money which me and you pay as taxes reaches where it ought to? Its a giddy thought, is it not?!
Hasta la Victoria Siempre/ Until victory always!
