The Baba, and the blacksheep

Baba Ramdev may indeed be a charlatan.
But not any more than the ministers, the babus ,the businessmen, and the media bhadralok.
After all, the issues he raises, post-Anna Hazare, are major ; and that the Song of Trivialization by the Conqueror of the World (Dik+Vijay -- a common sandhi in Indian grammars), the dismissive inclination of the Brains (I utter Phatkar with an English plosive and syllable stress as Phatkaar in Hindi), and the TV anchor's misplaced anxiety about a democratic government under unconstitutional threat ,are ludicrous, must be obvious to every member of the aam janataa. These people whom the business representatives and the media-men see as gullible and in need of protection from the Baba, are supporting him and Anna Hazare not as 'leaders' but as emblems which indicate the path of a new democracy ( if India is to survive as one) ,against the terrible odds of corruption which will soon smother the country if not tackled now. In less than three decades 64 crores (Bofors--Win Chaddha) has risen exponentially to thousands of crores which Kalmadi, Koda, Kanimozhi, Maran and Raja have swindled with such remarkable ease. If successive governments see no urgency to act NOW, Why do we need these governments at all?. The moment petro prices internationally, Indian administration will burden with another Rs. 5/= the people's bent spines; but when the spines try to recover a bit of their spring and shape, governments backed by business and media cry foul about blackmail tactics?!
If Anna and a hazaar Babas come out demanding a semblance of honesty, and a measure of welfare and a couple of lakhs of people support them, surely they deserve some appreciation.
AND if governments quake, surely they have plenty of reasons to.The blacksheep must answer the people if not the Babas ,
