the most relevant part of AK's interview is the political path to be adopted. this cannot be overlooked. the quickest and longlasting route is for Team Anna to back 200-250 candidates (or more) -after thorough screening- in the 2014 elections, urging people to go out and vote in these constituencies, ensure polling is in the region of 75-80% as it used to be in the 70's. and we have a game on hand!
as a run up to this, electoral reforms that Anna is talking about is a wonderful starting point.
(Response to previous question. AK: Today there is no platform through which I can express that this is what I need. The decisions are taken completely in a very remote place and those decisions are forced upon us.)
RD: If that changed, there'd be less corruption too.
AK: We thought corruption was a problem and corruption is to be solved
but now we feel that corruption is actually the symptom. The real
disease is in the lack of complete political empowerment of the
people. People are politically disempowered. They have absolutely no
say.
Jai Hind!

Reader's Digest
Some people have been criticising Arvind Kejriwal for defaulting from
the IRS. Kejriwal did not leave the IRS for any selfish motive. He
left to become a social activist, to fight for you and I. To fight
for the people of India. He has sacrificed his own money, time and
effort for the common cause.
Kindly read below an interview with Reader's Digest. India NEEDS
people like Arvind Kejriwal. He needs our full support, apprecia tion
and gratitude, NOT CRICISM.
Jai Hind

Arvind Kejriwal's Quest for Change
If you've been following the news, you're unlikely to have missed the
passionate voice of Arvind Kejriwal, the 42-year-old Haryana-born
activist, who is determined to tackle corruption and help change the
way India is governed.
.
When Reader's Digest interviewed Kejriwal in Delhi, it was early
March, a whole month before Anna Hazare's momentous fast, when the
model Jan Lokpal Bill—aimed essentially at empowering citizens and
fighting corruption—became the kind of news that eclipsed even the
start of cricket's IPL-4.
