Anna Hazare, Leader of Indian Corruption Protest, Is Arrested

Anna Hazare, Leader of Indian Corruption Protest, Is Arrested - NYTimes.com:

"Mr. Hazare elicits different reactions in India. His supporters regard him as a rare Gandhian, a simple, principled man in a new, materialistic age. His enemies accuse him of trying to undermine the government at the behest of opposition parties — accusations they reject. Yet many Indians sympathetic to Mr. Hazare’s cause are less enthusiastic about his methods and worry that theatrical demonstrations and hunger strikes undermine democratic values."
