ANNA HAZARE: A STORY OF ANTI- CORUPTION WAR
Kisan Baburao Hazare who is known amoung the masses as Anna Hazare, was born on 15 June 1937. His native place, Bhinagar village in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state was a small undeveloped place where everyone struggled with their lives to move on. He too belonged to a labourer family.
Anna Hazare started his career in the Indian army. During those 15 years which he worked as a soldier, Hazare was selected to serve the country in different states. He was posted at the border when Pakistan attacked India in the Year 1965. It was in 1978 that he took voluntary retirement from the army and returned to his native place, Ralegan Siddhi, a drought prone area in the Amedanagar district. They received a poor annual rainfall of 400 to 500 mm.
And it was the misery and trouble of his people to fetch water that led Anna to his first reformation activity. He was inspired by the water shed management project implemented by Vilasrao Salunke at Saswad and he decided to make use of it in his village also.
The result- the groundwater level increased considerably and Ralegan Siddhi became a role model which improved from a worst village to an ideal village.
It is said that once he was tired of living and he couldn’t find a purpose to move on. It was then he accidently came across a book written by Swami Vivekananda. Anna Hazare was deeply influenced by the views and ideologies of Swami Vivekananda and he found out that the purpose of his life was to serve others, to serve his fellow beings who suffer, to make them feel better and improve their lives. This decision was the turning point in his life. He started a social reformation movement called Bhrashtachar Virodhi Jan Andolan (BVJA) and began his war against corruption. He chose hunger strike as his weapon and protested against corrupt officers at every level of administration. Irrespective of the parties he forced every government to take action against the corrupt ministers and officials.
His indefinite hunger strikes brought to light many stories of corruption, and the guilty were punished. Many times he was imprisoned but was released due to enormous public protests. It was he who made the right To Information act (RTI) into reality.
And now at the age of 73, Anna Hazare has again came forward for the rights of his people with the Jan Lok Pal bill. The government didn’t accept the bill proposed by him and became ready to pass the bill with a few changes. But he didn’t retreat from his needs. And we are witnessing another anti- corruption war from this one man army.
