To me there are distinct echoes of Mahatma Gandhi's civil disobedience protests in the actions of Anna Hazare.
Jailing him obviously caused a public furore, and now he is going to fast for 15 days --in public-- in Ram Lila Maidan park, in Delhi, to protest his imprisonment and to bolster and pursue his anti-corruption stance.
I would not necessarily say that the Indian Government has yet lost the trust of the people, but of course this is a dangerous time and we shall see if further riots are sparked or not.
