Who would have thought that after sixty-five years of independence, a common man would shake and awake the country and its political system. The past two years saw millions of people come out on streets to fight against the biggest evil of our country “corruption”. The Janlokpal Movement was a call to all the politicians of India to listen to the common man's plea. Anna Hazare and his team with Arvind Kejriwal tried every single way possible to plead their cause to the government from peac...
