There's currently a big thing going on in India with some anti-corruption protests led by some Yogi. I think they're trying to express solidarity.
He is an opportunistic god peddler who wants to turn this circus in to an attempt at politics and further power play. Some people can see through his shell game, but in the end this wouldnt have solved anything for the country.
But I'm inclined to think some action is better than no action, when it comes to fixing things.
So, as a (presumably) professional coder, you believe this? I'm inclined to STRONGLY disagree. There's a time for decisiveness of action , sure, but it usually follows once you've established a strategy. "Some act is better than no act" is false without lots of caveats.
B) politics != programming
C) Think you could write out the caveats for me? If you do it quick I can still edit them into my original post. Thanks.
A guy who believes he can uproot a government because he has "the power of the people" and "220 million".
I dont think thats the face you want on the front of an anti-corruption crusade. Anna Hazare on the other hand is much more believable and ethical.
I am not apologizing for anyone. I dont think the Prime Minister is corrupt, but everything below is scarred by corruption.
But there was a country wide agitation a while back demanding for an Ombudsman bill (against corruption) which is now being worked out by a joint committee. It will most likely get passed in the parliament within two months. If it happens it'll be the first major step taken against corruption in the independent India.
