1. “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

2. 18th December 3,500kms 7th April
Kanyakumari to Rajghat, Delhi
WE SET OUT with a dream to build an Honest Nation built on the Honesty of
its citizens. To understand & lead honest lives ourselves & inspire fellow Indians
to do the same. To institute a day called ZERO CORRUPTION DAY.
Carrying forward the spirit of
Mahatma Gandhiji and the
ideals he stood for.
A day where we pledge to not indulge in any corrupt practice , not limited to bribery alone, & does not even always
involve money. It includes an endless list of practices like ragging & cheating in colleges, Dowry, Piracy,
Passive citizenship, racial and religious discrimination, irresponsible driving etc.

3. WE TRAVELLED across cities, towns & villages, traversing through
states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh.
MET FELLOW INDIANS;
Farmers,slum dwellers, College students,
village heads, tribals, laborers, working
professionals, elders, Government
servants,
urban &
rural; men
& women.
Experienced INDIA!

4. WALKED WITH OVER
10,000 FELLOW
INDIANS
Walk on! Bangalore Walk on! Pune
Walk on! Kozhikode Walk on! Mumbai Walk on! Hyderabad

5. W HAT WE ’ VE LEARNT
Our learning about India & Indians flowed from the innumerable conversations
we had with fellow citizens around their perception of Honesty, Corruption in
India & their role as citizens.
 Personal Vs Social – Our actions that build our personal lives also build
our society. Thus reiterating our message that ‘Building an Honest self is a
more meaningful and sustainable way to build an Honest Nation.’
 Need for increased Understanding – Views on Corruption are largely
limited to bribery thus creating a need for increased awareness & action.
 Existence of Duality –
There are strongly held beliefs
against change & yet there is
a willingness to strive for it if
there is committed leadership
& direction thus creating a
need to shift these beliefs for
empowered action.
