So the Ramdev drama has ended. Sri Sri Ravishankar and numerous others helped the yoga guru out of the convoluted political pose he got himself into!
Ramdev's jumping into the anti-corruption protest and the drama that followed almost took attention away from this important issue. And the way he conducted his protest showed up his amateurishness as a political leader.
Now that the yoga guru has ended his fast, he should try to stick to what he knows best -- teach yoga -- and let the fight against corruption be led by Anna Hazare.
Also the general public would be interested in all those allegations that flew around about Baba Ramdev's business empire and the content of his popular medications.
Meanwhile, whether the prime minister or certain others officials and ministers are involved in the ambit of the Lok Pal Bill may not be very important for the fight against corruption.
What is more important is that corruption that is eating into every day transactions like cancer be put an end to. That law-abiding citizens should be able to get their work done without worrying about greasing palms.
Every honest Indian is looking to Anna Hazare to see if he can pull this one off. The future of the country depends on this.
