Details on the two children who helped Anna break his fast.

Ikrah (8) and Simran took centrestage at the Ramlila Maidan today when they gave a glass of tender coconut water to Anna Hazare for ending his
fast after 12 days. 

Ikrah, a fourth standard student in a local school in Daryaganj, sat with Anna for nearly an hour. Shy as she was facing TV cameras for the first time, Ikrah tried to repeatedly hide behind her uncle and father who accompanied her to the dais.

It was her uncle who held her and made her speak to people who posed a volley of questions to the child. "Annnaji told me to study well," she mumbled to her uncle Ahmed who repeated it before the cameras. 

The kid's father Shakimullah and the uncle have been with Hazare since he began his first fast in April demanding a strong Lokpal. Shakimullah said he was told only in the morning by Team Anna that his daughter would be among the two kids who would give Anna coconut water to end his hunger strike.
