Shankar Sharma of First Global, once persecuted for being a financial backer of Tehelka, offered a frank summing up on ET Now of the Anna movement, highly unusual for a businessman. He said it was dadagiri not Gandhigiri, and that those seriously affected by corruption in India were the really poor and the rich who needed licenses etc. Not the middle classes, and certainly not the students making up numbers in Anna's crowd.
