Such a strong statement Ravindra on the ills of society that sadly, affect most nations all over the world. There are always ssome who advance themselves on the backs of those who can least handle it. I wish you strength in his purpose for freedom! Luv, Elizabeth

Anna sounds like a blessing to the people of India, Ravindra. I hope she carries that "torch" high and brings about positive changes both environmentally and economically for your country. We could use more "bold soldiers" like her in all nations. What a terrific tribute! Love, Carolyn

A well touching piece. Yes even with eyes wide open, some people failed to see what is going on in their society but there will come a time when people will no longer ignore but takes on action.
