THE incandescent
halo of Anna Hazare has dimmed like the smouldering ashes of a fire that has
long gone cold. The heady feeling of his agitation among supporters seems like
a bad hangover on a smog-choked Delhi morning. The draft of the draconian Jan
Lokpal Bill is gathering dust in the corridors of power. And, the Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) that was born out of the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement
stands reduced to a sad caricature of its promise of delivering an alternative
politics that made it such a tour de force in India’s clamorous democracy.
