In the mid-1970s, a former Indian Army soldier declared war on illicit distilling and gambling in his village, Ralegaon Siddhi, in Maharashtra. Some liquor shops complied with Kishan Baburao Hazare's orders but for the rest, it was business as usual. Hazare decided to get tough when three drunkards from another village thrashed a local man.
He caught the three men when next they entered the village, had them tied to a pillar and flogged them with his army belt till they sobered up and promised to go on the wagon. Soon enough, all the liquor vends in the area vanished.
"It's not easy to bring change. If you really want to do some good, it's sometimes necessary to be tough," recalls Hazare with a smile.|||Thank you sir for sharing this incident with us.
The poor man resorted to non-violent protest; he was arrested prematurely by the police( on orders from the govt) If he flogs the corrupt with an army belt, which would be an offense resembling murder; he would be send to a hangman or guillotined to death.|||Agree with Mastermind. Anna and his movement will have sympathy only as long as it concentrates on the main purpose and does not become violent. Anyone taking law into his own hands is liable to the rule of law. Anna should ensure now the unsocial elements do not hijack his movement.|||well i am not aware of this
