I cannot deny that the article makes insighful points, which perhaves never occured to most Indians binging over Anna Hazare's 97 hour fast.
I am not so much for the conspiracy theories, and Baba Ramdev being replaced suddenly out of the blue by Anna is not my primiary concern. The later part of the article is more relevant ... what is this Lokpal bill? What does it propose? Who will be the Lokpal's who gets all these powers?
For me when the Swami Agnivesh is in the helm of affairs, it cannot be a movement with good intents.

The End Result
The truth is simple and direct. Anna Hazare has replaced Baba Ramdev as the central figure in the nation’s war against corruption in exactly the same way that Gandhi replaced Tilak and Aurobindo within the Indian National Congress; ..............
Breaking his thunderous ‘fast-unto-death’ in just 97 hours, the first thing that Anna Hazare said was, “The most significant thing about this movement was that it had no religion”. What Sonia Gandhi and her NGO industry speaking through Hazare actually meant was Baba Ramdev and by extension all Hindus had been effectively de-fanged and marginalized. This was now Sonia’s show all the way.
