Jai Ho Anna
Anna Hazare on Sunday warned of an “unprecedented revolution” in the country if the Lokpal Bill is not passed by August 30 and said the government will have to“either get the Bill passed or go.”
Accusing the government of “betraying” the civil society on the Lokpal issue, Mr. Hazare, whose fast entered the sixth day on Sunday, told a large gathering of his supporters at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi that the government is not “honest” in its intent to fight corruption.
“If the government does not get the Lokpal Bill passed by August 30 there would be an unprecedented revolution in the country by the people... The government will have to either get the Bill passed (in Parliament) or go,” he said after a large number of people marched from India Gate to the Maidan expressing solidarity with him.
Calling his campaign against corruption as the beginning of “second struggle for Independence”, the 73-year-old Gandhian asked the youth to keep the “flame of revolution burning whether Anna is alive or not.”

England of top
For the first time in 32 years following a crushing win by an innings and 242 runs over India in the third match at Edgbaston, England claimed the number one rank in the ICC Test championship table.England had started off the series in third position behind South Africa and trailing top-ranked India by eight ratings points.England accomplished its mission in great style, winning the first Test at Lord’s by 196 runs, and then followed it with a convincing 319 runs victory at Trent Bridge before sealing the series.If England wins The Oval Test, it will finish on 125 ratings points while India will drop to third on 117 ratings points.If India wins or draws the Test, it will stay ahead of South Africa in second position.Today we are celebrating the 65th independence day of India. But think despite of the 65 years of independence we are lagging behind day by day. Our neighbor country China is growing rapidly. In 2008, China hosted the Olympic games and secured 1st position in medal tally. But in India we are failed to qualify for the Olympics in our national game Hockey.
The roads which were made by the British empire are living today, but the roads made by the Indian people are lasting for few months only. The railway tracks made by British empire are also living. The buildings which were made by them are now visiting places in India . Even we are fighting, criticizing each other in the room made by them which is 'Parliament' today. So we have to proceed a long long way .......so that the world says yeah this is the Golden India.
