The demand was for a strong Lokpal (Ombudsman). That movement has split. <br /><br />The underlying issue of Public Anger is Bad Governance and Corruption. This protest did not have any leader and that's what I liked about it. India is a young country and people are fed up about a few blocking the way of the others. <br /><br />Today 9 Metro Stations near India Gate were closed. The reason given was security due to the visit of the Russian Premier Putin. There were some govt. Ministers sort of pleading people not to give a wrong impression when a Foreign Head of State is visiting India. However, the anger would be tough for those in the Power to contain. I would be happy if next time the protesters march inside inside the Houses of Power and do what should be rightfully done - similar thing may have materialized last year.

I'll see what I can find from non-bourgeois media. <br /><br />Do you feel that this incident has triggered a popular "overreaction" because people is already very angry against the government for other reasons?Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068633250101025716.post-86090958089222648072012-12-23T19:30:33.698+01:002012-12-23T19:30:33.698+01:00There was a brutal gang rape in New Delhi recently...There was a brutal gang rape in New Delhi recently and spontaneous protests erupted near the seat of power a couple of days ago.
