Can Anna Hajarey be called Gandhi of our times?

Dear friends
This is my first writing on any blog. But the situation in India has motivated me to write and share my views.
Everyone has been making a great hue and cry over corruption for the last couple of years, but nothing concrete and solid has been done to combat this devil. History shows that no system has yet been changed without revolution, let alone a political or social system.
As Alfred Lord Tennyson has written in one of his poems:
OLD ORDER  CHANGETH YIELDING PLACE TO NEW
LEST ONE GOOD CUSTOM SHOULD CORRUPT THE WORLD
This applies well to the political situation of India. Democracy is better than aristocracy or monarchy or dictatorship but in the long run, it also goes rotten, if not practiced in the correct lines. The same is with India. Democracy has its upper hand but due to some selfish, usurpous, avaricious natives of India itself, it is not doing justice to the masses and couldn't come up to the expectations of the common people.
The secret reports of Swiss Banks has recently revealed the black money deposited in the names of politicians and bureaucrats of our motherland. Media did its best to expose them but no serious action has been taken against such culprits. So it was call of the hour that the common man should take stand and protest against such malpractices.
So here comes ANNA HAJAREY, once a driver in Indian Military, to fight against corruption with all his soul and mind. He has succeeded in procuring the support of some eminent persons from all the fields. He has the support, although a mental one, a passive one till now, of almost every Indian who wishes this game of corruption should come to an end. He has re[peated the history of Champaran where Gandhiji championed the cause of Indigo Sharecroppers and with the weapon of Civil Disobedience, he forced the British to give judgement in favour of the innocent, exploited Indians.
ANNA did the same. He is on a rampage against corruption prevalent in every nook and corner of India. He is the Gandhi of our times. I dont want to connect the entire thing going on in India with any politics or any political party, but I know that Anna is doing what every Indian should be up and doing.
So come and join the move, strenthen ANNA and prove that his stand is justified. The nation is calling and it is the high time to respond to nation's call.
IT'S NOW OR NEVER.
