Anna and Kejriwal Part Ways

Lenin once said ""You don't stand on Marxist positions, you sit on them, even loll on them."

It was a decade after he said this Lenin formed the Marxist Government in Russia. Its the same for all ideologies and ideals .Big ideologies or small, good or bad ones, need sacrifice of far greater and sustained period.

I never supported the struggle for Lokpal coz it was so ideologically bankrupt and useless piece of legislation .I never imagined the end would be such a big damn farce .Its ok to have a fast with 300 people after seeing the crowd of a hundred thousand but then great people stand together in times of utter defeat.

Marx and Engels married to each other’s ideology and remained friends till death , the ever so young Che Guevera and the now so old Fidel Castro always appear on Cuban posters together (Anna doesnt want to be on the same poster as Arvind ) ,Even Hitler and Gobbels lived, killed and commited suicide together , Nehru and Gandhi never agreed ideologically and had very different plans for independent India but then stood together and between them stayed over 20 years in Jail  but remained together for , even lesser mortals like Vajpayee and Advani stood together for 5 decades.

It’s such a crying shame, after preaching anthems of morality (half-baked from top and fully burnt from bottom), the two foremost self-proclaimed knights of national morality have decided to part ways .

If Anna wanted to wage a social struggle with Arvind leading a political struggle they could have easily done it like Gandhi and Nehru . But Gandhi wasn’t a fake Gandhi . He had a political and ideological vision like none other of his generation . He was outsmarting the likes of Churchill in their own game of self

It is not very honourable to burn the sails of an already sinking ship but I would rather do it than risk the prospect of Baba Ramdev getting the reins of our country, with a  Generation full of a Nazar Surashkha Yantra buying educated professionals, faking as intellectuals, hyper active on television and social media ,with nothing more than flimsy propaganda and rhetoric and ever no naïve about the social landscape of our streets and countryside . This is an era of reckoning for the developing world. It’s now or never .And I am so sad that after being left behind in almost every aspect of human development we will be handing over nation to ultra-orthodox  Religious bigots

Maxim Gorky was a life time friend of Lenin and said this to his friend Lenin when they were thinking of joining the government "'your comrades want to sit in parliament, while we think the working class must prepare for battle.' Aravind Kejriwal and Anna should have taken a leaf out of Maxim Gorky’s ideas.
