Anna Hazare is a prominent Indian social activist known for leading movements to promote rural development, increase government transparency, and curb corruption in India. He began a hunger strike in 2011 to pressure the Indian government to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, a strong anti-corruption bill. The movement gained widespread support among Indians frustrated by high-profile corruption scandals. While many supported stronger anti-corruption measures, some critics argued the proposed bill could undermine the Indian constitution and enable authoritarianism. It remains unclear if the bill's passage would effectively curb corruption in the long run.
