Some of yoga guru Baba Ramdev's demands might have sounded out of sync with the modern world and bordering on the lunatic. But that does not take away from his cause: crackdown on corruption.
What the government is trying to do is divert attention away from the core issue that Ramdev has raised and drown it in a cacophony about BJP/Sangh Parivar support for the agitation.
Also, there is no doubt that whatever reason the Congress government advances in support of its actions, the crackdown on Baba Ramdev's peaceful protest was completely undemocratic.
So why is the government fearful of the agitation and trying to tarnish Ramdev's reputation? Because it is common knowledge that most of the Indian who have stashed away black money in foreign banks are connected to our political class.
If the details of those accounts are made public many heads will roll and the vast network of corruption will be exposed.
It is worthy to remember that it is these same people who direct state agencies at people to harass them over unpaid taxes and other supposed financial irregularities.
If the details of black money in foreign banks is obtained, it would show how laughable is the system we are in.
The simple fact is this: people like Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare are doing a service to the nation, something our elected political leaders have been trying to torpedo for decades.
