[Reader-list] Debate on Anna Hazare and Draft Jan Lokpal Bill on Kafila.org

[Shuddhabrata Sengupta]

Dear All, 

Far from the din of Television, there has been an interesting (and real) debate over the weekend on the 'Anna Hazare + Draft Jan Lokpal Bill Phenomenon'' on Kafila.Org. Here are links to 3 posts, in chronological order, by me, Bobby Kunhu and Aditya Nigam. 

I am not posting the entire texts, as that would take up too much space in the body of a single message, but the links are easy to get to. Hope this is of interest to some reader on this list. Apologies for cross posting from Kafila.org

best

Shuddha
