Looking at the yesterday's event of burning of the copies of the Lokpal bill by social activist Anna Hazare and other civil society members, it is deeply hurtful to see the way this protest has turned out to be. Although my respect for them has not diminished because their cause is genuine. Burning copies of the bill is an inappropriate way of protesting, especially in a nation where paper is equated with knowledge and wisdom. Millions of trees are cut every year to meet the requirements of paper consumption. The fact that it was used for burning is quite saddening.
