It's Anna Hazare versus the Indian government yet again.
The 74-year-old Gandhian activist is going on his third fast this year, demanding the government pass his version of a strong anti-corruption law. This, by the current session of parliament, which officially ends today.
But the government is under pressure and that session has now been extended for three days from December 27-29.
Still, many say that it is not enough time to deliberate a historic legislation that could change the contours of corruption in this country.

I've been covering Hazare's fast since April this year. And while I've seen scores of ordinary Indians coming out on the streets in his support, the numbers increasingly swelling in his favour and rattling the government - the debate has also shifted against him.
