India's Tehrir Square moment was online
By Saurav Sen
NEW DELHI: A frail 72-year-old Anna Saheb Hazare may have gifted India its first-ever Tehrir Square moment at Jantar Mantar on April 9, 2011, but for a nation of 1.2 billion people, the first battle against corruption has been won elsewhere. On the internet.
For the uninitiated, the Jantar Mantar monument and its adjoining lawns have long lost its archaeological luster on tourism itineraries and been virtually relegated to being the capital's primary venue for protests from innocuous labor agitations to political sit-ins by disgruntled ticket-seekers, or dissidents.
