There are two type of person right and wrong so only support of nos of people can decide which is true.
Support of number of people is tested in elections and not on streets. Mobocracy is not democracy.
Please read the link to see Arundhati's views. In matters of intellect, the views of intellectuals, eminent personalities, authors are very significant. These cannot be subject to vote. For example, how a patient is to be treated will be decided by expert doctors and not by people on street collecting as mob.
I did not read whole article but after reading all you are right gulshan I am wrong but I am with Anna ji.
We are all with anna as regards anti corruption. But let us not be part of crowd and follow anyone blindly. we must consider all view points. even reading Arundhati does not mean that we follow her blindly.
Arundhati Roy has presented some interesting views here.
I'm still wondering what got so many people onto the streets in support of Anna?
Anna himself or the cause he was fighting for?
I feel, the fact that all our tolerance limits have been exceeded as far as corruption is concerned, was the major driving force for this movement.

Anna Hazare has led a very big movement against corruption in this country and government's flip-flop on this issue has vindicated his stand!! While Anna Hazare has demonstrated his conviction in the cause he has championed ,the government led by Dr. Singh has no conviction in what it is doing!

Crowd management is an art. Kejriwal managed this by group SMS and community sites like facebook and his own website "India against corruption'. If you manage ten thousand people in street, further unconnected people are automatically attracted. Moreovers, patriotic songs and slogans also attracted people. That is what Arundhati Roy has stated. The entire movement is nothing but Bharat mata Ki Jai, Vande Mataram etc. The environment was generated as if anyone who is not with team anna is unpatriotic and corrupt. But the cat remains that most corrupt and communal sections of society were in the gathering of anna.
