      Thanks to Anna Hazare, who sparked the anti- corruption activists in India, India is now setting for all- party meeting on anti- corruption bill. The corruption in India has led to billions of dollars in India. Hazare has threatened to go on huger strike if the bill is not passed during this parliament session, and his 12-days fast and other supporters are the main factors that made this meeting possible. The activists and opposition parties’ demand for this bill is to include everyone in the government, if prime minister to lover level bureaucracy. his bill will hopefully lead to more justice in the country than now. The Indian government is now drafting a anti- corruption bill, some still believes that the bill is too weak and should be enforced even more.

      I think this is a good lesson that everyone can learn from, if you believe in something than instead of just complaining, one should put it in to action. The actions of the activists and Hazare did for corruptions that are present in the country can be one of many examples. People complain about not having the chance to change thing, but the truth is the chances are everywhere. Just last month there was a chance for everyone in senior school, we the chance to change to school system to get rid of exam that everyone complained about. Surprisingly not many students went stand up for what they believed in, yet they still complained about the exam. Unfortunately, one of the students that complained yet did not go to the peace garden to make a change was me. Though I could give many reasons like I had Hindi work to do, and other homework, but I will be honest, I thought it would not make a change in our school and that no teachers would listen to us. Now, after reading his article I will try to make a change in the world though I don’t know how yet.
