Strike a chord again?

To tackle graft in a country soaked in corruption needs humongous mass support (“Anna Hazare on hunger strike again”, March 24). Indians are either corrupt or conditioned to accept corruption. Ours is a society that is systemically corrupt, with corruption embedded in every transaction, big or small. We believe that even entitlements do not come without illegal gratification. That being the case, it is a million-dollar question as to what extent fair-minded people will support Mr. Hazare this time even as they are prepared to take the bull by the horns.

Last time, the idea was novel and captured the imagination of the masses. But the initial wave of support fizzled out.
