Anna Hazare has saved India! By disawoing Baba Ramdev's call to arms, he has in one stroke saved the struggle against corruption and the non-violent nature of the protest.
Baba Ramdev had some relevance in the fight against corruption as long as he kept within the limits of the law and his methods did not threaten the fabric of the country and society. However, after Ramdev talked about setting up a militia, Anna Hazare wisely realized the perils of Ramdev's path stayed away from the yoga guru.
The country needs change and an end to corruption. And it is lucky to have someone like Anna Hazare who understands the importance of non-violence to achieve those aims.
Baba Ramdev has marginalized himself and Hazare has saved the anti-corruption struggle from being snuffed out by the guru's looniness.
From here on there is no looking back for the fight against corruption. Anna Hazare has made it into a juggernaut and in the process showed himself to be a statesman par excellence.
