Students and stars, retired judges and rights activists, corporates and canny politicians... In a rare consonance of idea and ideal, thousands of Indians joined the chorus for a more stringent law against corruption, a rapidly snowballing movement propelled by reformer Anna Hazare whose fast-unto-death entered day two here Wednesday.
In what has become one of the biggest mass movements in recent times, 72-year-old Hazare's fast at Jantar Mantar in the Indian capital found resonance across the country with thousands more coming forward to join the crusade against corruption - and a stronger, more comprehensive Lokpal (ombudsman) bill to fight corruption in public life.
