Anna Hazare

India in the recent past had witnessed an extraordinary or a very rare sight of a Gandhian way of peoples movement and to many young Indian it was first experience of such peoples movement. An unknown face till the movement began was Anna hazare, who was relatively an unknown person to most parts of India. He did not deliver a great speech nor did he request support from the rest of the country. He on his own started his movement against a weak lokpal bill. The government took a firm stand and did what ever it could do to defend the weak lokpal bill. The firm stand of the government helped the movement and anna to gain support from the rest of  India. Most citizen are  Frustrated with the level of corruption in India but very less had the courage and determination to fight against corruption, those who worked against the corruption also  remained mostly unorganised, this movement helped them to get organised. Courageous and a patriotic  Indians supported and took the movement to the streets of India. eventually government was forced to accept the demands of the civil society. Anna became the symbol of fight against corruption.
