Anti-Corruption

  • In the latest round of confrontations between India's government and the country's five-month-old anti-corruption movement led by activist Anna Hazare, the ruling party's most seasoned politicians found themselves grossly out-maneuvered.
  • azare, whose arrest a day earlier sparked protests across the country, rejected the government's offer for his release, choosing to remain in prison until he is permitted to go on a hunger strike in a park in New Delhi. Tihar Jail, where he is likely to remain overnight, quickly became an epicenter for demonstrations, with thousands thronging its gates, demanding Hazare's right to peaceful protest. They chanted slogans, wore white caps reminiscent of India's freedom struggle, sang nationalistic songs, organized sit-ins and peaceful marches, and raised banners of “India against corruption” into the night.
