Anna Vs IPL

The most amazing campaign against corruption started by Anna Hajare has to face its biggest nemesis yet. Anna is running a game changing campaign against corruption where he is proposing his version of the lok pal bill. The cynics are asking whether it is like giving power to the common man to control the juggernaut of the corrupt or creating another layer in the multi layered corrupt system. Either ways it is a campaign that is fired by the social networks and going by what has happened in Egypt and Libya, the social network seems to have in to prevail and succeed.

After starting with so much hype, the campaign now has to encounter the IPL. With the success of the ICC WC 2011, the cricket mania may take the viewers away from an old fasting individual to a more entertaining Dhoni or a Yuvraj. Anna has to face a big challenge in the form of IPL, a phenomenon that kills bollywood and TV serials.

The lack of focus and forgiving/forgetting nature of the indian public is what allows the corrupt to thrive in India. Can the IPL take away our attention or the 73 year old keep us engaged to wash away the dirt?

We will know soon..........
