I hope that you all aware about the word “LOKPAL BILL”, and what really it is, what it’s mean and what it’s object? Since few days it is blowing rapidly in the Indian masses and it has create a revolution and it is also going to change in Indian Political system this is not new word it is invented before 40years ago, I am not trying to say what it is and what it’s object what I am trying to explain is that Whose movement and Bii(lokpal) is this ?. If you go through the news channel or any news paper or internet they all producing one and only news about the agitation against corruption going at ramlila maidan Led by social activist Anna hazare and his team in the capital of our country, all media and many scholar saying that this is a movement of civil society or people’s movement. Now another question raise in my mind who and what civil society is?, if the people who are supporting to this movement are from the civil society then What about the others who are not supporting this movement Are they not a member of civil society?. I think 2 or 3% people of total population supporting this movement what about the others? I also found that the 70% people who are supporting this movement are from urban middle class, why this number is big? What about the rural people are they supporting this movement? Or how many from them know about this movement? If numerous people are not supporting this movement then how can we say that it is people’s movement? If it is people’s movement then what about the people who have elected their representative I think this number is larger than these supporters, what about them? Any one has tried to know their views? Then how can we say that it is people’s movement? The rest 30% is filled by bureaucrats, sport person, models and film stars. The Indian cricket team has also support to the movement you know the reason why, the reason is that they lost all four test match series against England, so they supporting this movement and drawn the attention of people towards it. The another question is also striking in my mind that Why leading capitalists of our country not supporting this movement? After going through this movement and discussing with my friends i still confuse and did not get the satisfied answer of the questions (Whose movement and bill is this?), if you have let me know.

Caste,cricket and Politics
Just 4% of population but 7 Brahmins in Indian XI?
Does caste play a role in Indian cricket?
Yes,It is often herd that caste play effective role in politics but you ever heard about that caste also play an important role in Indian cricket .I am not talking about only national team, test match teams alone, but
also State teams and local teams and club teams.
From the 1960s to the 1990s, the Indian team averaged six Brahmins, sometimes even nine, despite Brahmins comprising just a little over four per cent of the population.Even today in Indian team there are more than 5 Brahimn players.In the Sydney Test Indian XI, there are 7 Brahmins (Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, V.V.S. Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, R.P. Singh, Ishant Sharma),one Jat (Yuvraj Singh), one Rajput (M.S. Dhoni), one Muslim (Wasim Jaffer), and one Sikh (Harbhajan Singh).In other words, nine Hindus (seven of them upper-caste) and two non-Hindus.
Of course they(Brahimns) are good players no doubt about it,i don't want to critise them,but i want to saw that caste system is still pratice in India today.Not only in cricket but also in every sector like higher posts in police,judges,professor of higher education and so on.We can take the example of politics we can see that eight of India’s 14 prime ministers have been Brahmin, with just 10 out of India’s 60 year post-Independence existence being under the yoke of Brahmins.
It is talk about India that there is not inequality in India,many politician says that we are success to fall down inequality,but I think that which type of equality is this?.
What are you thinking about this?.
