Anna Hazare
Comparing Hazare's crusade to America's 'Boston Tea Party', Dilip Bobb, columnist at The Indian Express writes that the "India's Tea party is largely an urban phenomenon, populated by the middle class which finds real resonance with the call for a corruption-free world. The problem is that those who sit in Parliament, the politicians, are perhaps enjoying their lowest level of credibility and the issue itself, corruption, has aroused such powerful anti-establishment sentiments that the Hazare movement has taken on a life of its own with very little knowledge of where it will end."
