Same War, Different Heroes!

Some noteworthy differences between Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev and why i don't like Ramdev :-(

- Anna Hazare does not own a trust worth crores of Rupees unlike Baba Ramdev. So while Ramdev has a 'set' business and is doing whatever he is doing for quick publicity, Anna is selfless and righteous.
- Anna Hazare does the right thing (fight against corruption) and gets support from followers. Ramdev on the other hand has to ask and coax his supporters to join him and later save him from the police. Many of the so called supporters are hurt and roughed up while Ramdev crossdresses and fleds to Haridwar !
- Anna Hazare talks less and does more, Ramdev does nothing but talks and talks (remember his viewpoint on gays and item girls. how can such a pervert fight for the democracy and the people?)
- Anna Hazare doesn't affiliate to any political party and does selfless service for the betterment of the countrymen. Ramdev on the other hand supports & seeks support from political groups like RSS and BJP.
- Anna Hazare does not run from his fast site and certainly does not need an 'army' to achieve what he has started on. Ramdev runs sheepishly (come on, the most police could have done was to arrest him for an hour and then let him go! Why so much hullabo about that?) and wants to build an army to fight the government. how is that different from a Maoist?
- Ramdev does not support Anna Hazare when the latter is on a fast. Anna, in spite of the fighting tactics of  Ramdev supports him and assured him, he will join him.
- The government respects (and probably is a little fearful of) Anna Hazare, but do not care much about Ramdev.
