corruption in india
Corruption exists in many forms throughout various levels of Indian society, including in government, schools, police, and politics. The document outlines several high-profile corruption scandals in India that prompted citizen outrage and protests led by activist Anna Hazare calling for stricter anti-corruption laws. Hazare began fasting in 2011 to push for passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill, which proposed an independent body with power to investigate and prosecute bureaucrats and politicians for corruption. Large protests and hunger strikes erupted across India both supporting and opposing the bill.
