ANNA HAZARE vs IROM SHARMILA.

The difference is corruption is burning issue, which is efftecting whole India in day to day life is the reason why ANNAJI got massive Support.

IROM SHARMILA plead for the Indian government was the repeal of the AFSPA, which allowed soldiers to indefinitely detain any citizen on suspicion of being a rebel The act has been blamed by opposition and human rights groups for permitting torture, forced disappearances, and extrajudicial executions in north eastern States.As it is not a burning issue when it considered in mass.BUT ONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FACT THE LADY IS FIGHTING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CORRUPTION.WHEN HUMANS ARE TREATED LIKE INSECTS AND KILLED FOR NO MISTAKE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE SAME IS APPLICABLE FOR US.AS A HUMANS WITH HUMANITY SUPPORT THIS GREAT LADY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SALUTE HER FOR HER GREATER RESPECT TOWARDS HUMANITY.IN TODAYS WORLD PEOPLE WILL FIGHT FOR SOMEONE MAY BE FOR DAYS,MONTHS AND A YEAR NOT FOR 11YRS......................IF WE R HUMANS,IF WE RESPECT HUMANITY WE WILL SURELY SUPPORT THE GREAT LADY.

I would like to start a blog on Sharmilla. Will my friends on toostep help me. 

Sharmilla is a true Gandhian. And our society is not even as responsive to her as the imperialist Great Britain was to the Maatma. Truly I salute her. 

The issue with Manipur and the north-east is that they do not have a good leader. Irom Sharmila is using a gandhian method called "fasting/satyagraha". Anna is using the same method because there are lot of other organizations backing Anna who are able to bring people to the streets. Irom Sharmila is not able to do that. Instead, what the people in the north-east should do is to create a tough and rough leader who can spit venom and violence to achieve the goal. If the whole India were to blame this leader for venom and violence then point your finger at Bal Thackray, Narendra Modi, Vinay Katiyar and Pramod Mutalik. You should pose the question, "Why are these(Thackray,Modi,Mutalik and Katiyar) people allowed to use violence to achieve what they want?". Today, without violence you cannot achieve anything in India.

I agree with all of you. Justice is not being done to Ms. Sharmila.

What has Ms Sharmilla got to give the media if it backs her. A minuscule amount of TRPs in the N-E. Annaji will not get this media coverage if goes fast in Sikkim or Manipal. So why should he? 

But why is not the citizens of the country not waking up to her demands. Are we hypocrites. We got excess time for A - team, which has agenda except hold the government to ransom. Are we as a  nation that stupid?

It is hard to believe a person can survive 11 years without food. 

The only difference between Anna Hazare and Irom Sharmila is Anna is able to galvanize public support through various means and supporters across the globe for a cause.  Most importantly, he could get a media glare to reach the mass at a rapid pace, whereas Irom's battle is so silent and confined to Manipur.  Government looks for how many tow with you for a cause to arrive at a solution.  In the absence of people voice, unfortunately she failed to garner, the government took her as a weak contender and did not bother to address the issue in war-footing.  The Congress Government in Assam under the leadership of Tarun Gogoi, if pressurised, can take up Manipur's cause easily, as he enjoys good rapport with the senior leadership in Congress.  Its the political will that is stopping the entire issue.  Thanks Jayanta for sharing this very pertinent issue when the whole country is boiling in agitation mood.  As per some media inputs, Anna Hazare had be apprised about the plight and he would step up the pressure with Irom to get a speedy outcome!  

"...Is there any different policy for the North-east India? then why they imposed such Act to north-east area?..."

If north-east want to have a voice, want to get its share of respect, then do the following:

a). Educate your current generation and the next. Example: Kerala. This state is surviving in the Indian Union ONLY for the reason that it is able to export educated people, it does not have anything else as a major .... 

b). Create a strong manufacturing sector. Example: States like Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Once you do the above, states in the North-East will become self-sufficient and rich, AND then you will have a voice in the Indian Union.

Warning: Keep away from Hindutva, Marxist and Chinese.

What is democracy? Is there any different policy for the North-east India? then why they imposed such Act to north-east area? if not then we should get the same right..! Sister Irom Sharmila, struggling for our own Human right as a citizen of India, since 11 years. And Indian people doesn't knows who she is and why is doing protest, but  oversea organization know him.
we support ANNA HAZARE, Anti-corruption. However, firstly need our own right of citizen from central Government. They didnot recognize us as Indian citizen. the problem is this. thanks for ur page..!

anna doing a bit round the corner for and issue addressed many a times at different levels however sharmila crusading a lone solitary war against aginst waht we felt in humane during the times of british rule in india. IS THAT A LEGACY WE ARE TI FOLLOW THAT THE INHUMAN COLONIAL RULER HAD GIVEN TO THE GLORIOUS HUMNAN HISTORY OF INDIA???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Jayanta you are right in your observation. I think medically no body can stay alive for 11 years without food. May be I am wrong.

Manipulation.

Thanks Jayanta for the information! really i dont know that!

Thank you for the post, Jayanta. If not the national media, people who know about it should post it on internet and blogs like these. We know the incompetency of our system in handling the situation there. We need more stories from the north-east about the the life of people there.
