Major
breakthrough within few months of launching organized initiatives.
Mobilizing
masses to convert the initiatives into the experiments with mass appeal.
Achieving
more than the success sought, becoming, thus the voices of millions.
Experimenting
further while spearheading the course further, faltering, but taking up again,
thus up on the way ahead.
Scoring
even greater feat in the next phase with resounding success stories, rewriting
the trends, overwriting the attempted writings, creating thus a history.
People
seeing the history-making elements as opportunities to consolidate grip and
further personal agenda.
Increasing
trend to read the developments leading to the brilliant success stories with
slanted opinions.
Rapid
decline from slanted opinions to public display of vested interests.
Emergence
and further deepening of the fault-lines.
Those
are the premises that make for the stories of the 2011 anti-corruption movement
and the political party that emerged from it, or the political party that was
squeezed out of it, at the cost of the movement.
The
Anna Hazare led movement and the Aam Aadmi Party experiment had a similar
trajectory with similar elements in their respective life-cycles.
The
high moral ground, the sole reason that mobilized the masses to stay with them
to raise voice against corruption, gave way gradually to empty rhetoric.
The
vested interests pushed their natural counterparts thus and the factional feuds
of personal fiefdoms began.
The
movement died afterward.
The
ethics that were put in front to push the political experiment out of the
movement have also died.
And
with it, the political experiment is also dying.
The
big question is - how long will it take before it concludes finally.
Will
the similar predicaments lead to the
similar fate finally?
