On this thread, an article titled "Does Anna's Civil Society Represent the Nation?" by Madhu Chandra was posted on Goanet. Perhaps the author's main point can be summarized in the last para of the article, namely: "Therefore, I reserve my rights to refrain from this civil society, if Team Anna remains silent spectator on issues of caste, communalism, rights of minorities and the rise of fascism."
I think the society handles multiple issues at any one time. Some people take one issue, while others will take up another. This does not mean that if one takes up a particular issue, he should be asked to take other issues simultaneously. If this is the criteria, then NO issue will be tackled. Corruption is an issue on which the people are extremely agitated more because of surfacing scams after scams. This does not mean that it is the ONLY issue that agitates the society. Best regards, U.
