Now that Mr. Hazare has finally broken his fast, the net is full of people commenting on whether Om Puri and Kiran Bedi were right or not. I didn't see what Om Puri did though I read his comments. None of us is in a position to determine whether he was right or not unless we do a survey on how many uneducated leaders are honest and doing the work that they were elected to do as against the educated ones who are being corrupt and lazy. The point is that we cannot generalize these things. Uneducated does not necessarily mean bad and corrupt. And if you think a bit more, we are ourselves to be blamed if we are electing people who don't deserve to be there.

But I felt sad when I saw Ms. Bedi waving the Tricolor like a protagonist from some Hindi patriotic movie. The action seemed clearly for the benefit of the cameras that were rolling. And here I was thinking that this woman was made of better stuff :-(
