In fact, just posted this link on facebook saying 'this is bad ya' like my high school girl classmates. Why do I disagree? While in the first part Ms Roy accuses Anna of trying to impose a superstructure over the government, another oligarchy, etc., in the latter half she is kind of accusing him of ignoring many other issues which also warrant attention. Isn't this somewhat contradictory? Also, is Anna the authority on all issues, and is Anna responsible for solving all problems in the country? She should be taking up these issues with the government. I think the Roys (including the Aruna one) are jealous in a most natural way, only because none of their protests for any cause have become national the way Anna's has. Roys, blame the media for not paying enough attention to your stuff, please dont blame Anna. Btw, silk, ad hominem allowed on non-silk and public personalities, no? Dinesh > >
