Fasting - A new trend?

Anna Hazare and now Baba Ramdev! They are doing what the media was supposed to do. Check mate the government on critical issues. I suppose the burgeoning Indian middle class has grown over the basic survival instinct and want to have a civilized society to live in. They are so desperate that anyone could voice their thoughts become a hero. I dont understand why this is so difficult to understand for the political Babus. All the Indians expect is a corruption free governance. They dont expect to pay every government employee to just get their basic work done. Anyways, if something remotely good is gonna happen through these fasting events, i can click a "Like" on it! No questions asked.
