Baba Ramdev to go on fast ..

I t was very heartening to see Baba Ramdev too on the common fight of the people against corruption in high places.

On one front we have the Anna  Hazare and team fighting corruption in judiciary, polity, real estate, giving more teeth to the Lokpal bill and the like while on the second front we have Baba Ramdev fighting financial corruption of black money and swiss accounts.
