Probably, Baba Ramdev has underestimated the brute rule of law and overestimated the popular responses and the political fortunes his fasting would fetch. This certainly was a religious congregation under the guise of Civil Society. If allowed to continue, his fast would have triggered more such fasts, tearing the democratic fabric apart. Suppose tomorrow a few Mullahs, Buddhist Monks, Christian Priests emulate him demanding reasonable or otherwise demands, what will happen to this country? Those who support such ill-advised movements must bear it in mind that we are living in a democracy. Please do not overdo the protests. Everyone is rightly disgusted with corruption and black-money, but this should not encourage us to blindly support those suffering from Lime-light Seeking Syndrome. For this simple reason, the action of the government is justified. So the government can be said to have done well in ordering crack-down against the politically motivated Fast.
