Such naive thinking is a result of years of pro-State brainwashing in State controlled schools.  I also wonder how many people have actually read the Jan Lokpal Bill before joining Anna Hazare and his movement. If they have not then I strongly advise them to do that first. The bill is suppose to give immense powers to the...
