Anna Hazare "The Black mailer"

Black mailing is something that implies coercing someone to get something! that something is rather a personal favor (selfish) than social favor or favor for others (noble cause). when this others is a billion plus people of India and any action done for the interest of this huge people , that too for a noble cause (anti-corruption) it would never fit into a word called black mail. rather we should use the term white mailing or something else?
whatever black mail though exciting will not fit for something done for good!
lets get into the details:

1st government ignored him until they realised that anna is becoming a phenomenon( within 3-4 days), then they hastily approached him and convinced him that they ll work on it though initially claiming that what anna asking was meaning less, unconstitutional etc. when assured by the top most official (prime minister) in India, anna broke his fast. but he was soon cheated. politicians like kapil cibal and digvijay singh were released upon anna! anna's team was hounded by them in all the possible ways and are still being hounded...etc....which is not at all blackmail or something ugly to these intellectuals who call anna hazare as blackmailer. its all clean for them but, anna is the villain for them.

ok, let us agree that anna is coercing the govt that: look if you do not pass this bill i will fast till death, my death will bring trouble to you and the govt is scared but no other choice. would the govt respond to fasting till death threats by everybody like this no! why ?
anna hazare not only represented his own anger but of the near billion of Indians! They realised it very fast! thats why they responded to him though they initially ignored anna! the point is that if people have not responded to anna govt would not have worried about him ! govt is responding to people's concern , anger or whatever through anna hazare's fasting/movement... so govt is not responding to anna's blackmailing but indirectly to people"s blackmailing (if you are bent on using the word black mailing). or better say like in maths anna's black mailing = people's demands...

in democracy people have a right to demand! right?
dude public demand is never a black mail at least in democracy. ( here public means both the meanings: 1. people 2.open)

so the fact that's is surprising is that anna had become an emotional bridge between people and govt! anna is conveying the emotion/urge/demand of the public regarding corruption to the govt with most efficacy...unfortunately for the government Anna is conveying the anger/frustration of the common man to govt. that is why govt is not happy with anna hazare!
we all who love democracy should hail anna hazare who made something impossible: common man's emotions/urge/concerns/demands (regarding corruption) are attended by the government? goverenment is listening to the people....
wow this is democracy...
Anna is the best thing that ever happened to Indian democracy!

for cancer no treatment is a bad treatment as long as it works or if it could possibly work...!
