The question now on everyone's mind now is ‘what next'?
“A law or bill is all very well. While Anna Hazare has made his contribution, it's time we made ours. We have held banners and shouted slogans, but to really end corruption, we'll have to fight at a direct level,” says Dhruv, a 20-year-old student of Delhi University.
There's a danger of this wave of protest and activism dying down post-victory, and it is important that the impetus that Anna Hazare's fast gave the youth of the nation be carried forward. Hazare himself thanked the youngsters for supporting the cause, adding that ‘the support of the youth is a symbol of hope'.
“We are restless for change, and we can all see how corruption has become a problem at every step. This is a nation ripe for a mass movement to end corruption.
But we can't sit back and let men like Hazare do all the work. We have to carry it forward, take the matter into out own hands,” says Subhashree Das, a 24-year-old from a reputed advertising agency.
