In India itself, we have witnessed many movements beginning from the struggle for independence to the current Anna Hazare’s Anti Corruption Movement. Media’s inevitable role in success of a campaign is well established and plays a vital role to make any campaign a success. The definition of media in today’s world has changed and it has turned into an integrated platform that deals with different modes of communication to make it more effective. In context of Hazare’s campaign; Television, Newspaper, Magazine, Internet & Social Media sites have been abuzz with articles/messages showing support for Anna Hazare’s fight against corruption and his plea to pass Jan Lokpal Bill. For example–Facebook now has over 100 pages dedicated to Anna Hazare and his campaign. New media being a most popular media among the youth is giving new dimensions. Mass media is a broad term in media studies and newspaper being most credible in mindset of Indian people it strengthen the movement and mobilise common man in fighting for corruption. Same as, Television news set the propaganda for Anna Hazare’s movement and Especially, new media holds out a possibility of on-demand access to content anytime, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive user feedback, creative participation and community formation around the media content. Another important promise of new media is the “democratization” of the creation, publishing, distribution and consumption of media content. Facebook is an example on the social media model, in which most users are also participants. Present paper is an attempt to demystify the role of media (mass media) as a tool to increase reach of mass movements. For the purpose of study data was collected from various news websites, articles,books,pages of social networking sites and analyzed on the basis of set parameters. A textual analysis is done in order to come out with the exact and in depth role of media in civil revolution. Result of the study has interesting story about the media as well as mass movement and both are complementing each other. 9 1.Introduction 1.1 What is civil revolution:- Civil revolution in a country is an anger of common man towards a government. Civil society emerge as a whistle blower and watchdog of the democratic government. Civil revolution in India brought the middle class drawing room discussions onto the streets protesting against corruption and malpractices and fighting for justice. 1.2 Evolution of civil revolution ( in context of Anna Hazare Movement India Against Corruption) Anna Hazare Kisan Baburao Hazare (born 15 June 1937), popularly known as Anna Hazare is an Indian social activist who led movements to promote rural development, increase government transparency, and investigate and punish official corruption. In addition to organizing and encouraging grassroots movements, Hazare frequently conducted hunger strikes to further his causes—a tactic reminiscent, to many, of the work of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Hazare also contributed to the development and structuring of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan—the third-highest civilian award—by the Government of India in 1992 for his efforts in establishing this village as a model for others. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Hazare) 1.2.1 Anna Hazare's Movement Against Corruption Anna Hazare has emerged as this Government's nemesis. The mild-mannered Gandhian has captured the imagination of an entire nation with his crusade against corruption. As an Indian Army jawan, he dodged a bullet during the 1965 war with Pakistan. The 74-year-old is in the midst of a battle once again. Hazare first launched his campaign against corruption in 1991. His organisation, Bhrashtachar Virodhi Jan Andolan, exposed a scam where 42 forest officers had duped the Maharashtra government of crores of rupees. Hazare submitted evidence to the state Congress government in 1991. When the government did not take action against the accused since a minister was also involved, he returned his Padma Shri and went on indefinite fast at Alandi in Pune district. Finally, the state government suspended the accused officials and six Maharashtra Cabinet ministers were forced to resign the same year. Hazare belongs to Ralegan Siddhi village, in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra. Inspired by the Indo-China war of 1962, he joined the Indian Army in 1963. The violence frustrated him and he even thought of ending his life. But a book by Swami Vivekananda changed his outlook. "I realised that striving for the betterment of common people is equivalent to offering a prayer to God," he says. He took voluntary retirement from the Army in 1977 and returned to his drought-prone village. At that time almost 80 per cent of Ralegan Siddhi depended on other villages for food and water. Inspired by the water management model of social worker Vilasrao Salunkhe, Hazare implemented it in his village. This increased the ground-water level. He built schools, hostels, grain banks, a dairy, and formed a cooperative society and self-help groups. Today, Ralegan Siddhi has become a tourist spot. In 1997, Hazare launched a movement for the implementation of RTI and went on a fast-unto-death at Azad Maidan in Mumbai in July 2003. After 12 days, the president signed the draft of the RTI Act and the state implemented it with effect from 2002. The same draft served as the base for national RTI Act in 2005. Hazare gathered many supporters in his campaign but most of his earlier supporters have left him. Former bureaucrat Avinash Dharmadhikari and social activist Baba Adhav parted ways saying Hazare does not stick to his stand for long. Hazare's association with the rss, which supports the Jan Lokpal Bill, is not new. He had strong backing from the organisation before the bjp-Shiv Sena came to power in Maharashtra in 1995. However, 10 after Hazare targeted two ministers-BJP's Mahadev Shivankar and Shiv Sena's Shashikant Sutar- for corruption, his association with the rss came to an end. Hazare's agitation for the Jan Lokpal Bill started in November 2009 at a public meeting at Parel in Mumbai. He announced he would launch a campaign for the bill and go on an indefinite fast if his demand was not met. Declaring December 9 as anti-corruption day, he started gathering support from other organisations. The agitation gained momentum on January 30 this year when a rally against corruption was held in 60 cities. At a rally in New Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on February 27, Hazare announced another fast from April 5. He gave a memorandum to President Pratibha Patil demanding a draft on Jan Lokpal Bill. Manmohan Singh invited Hazare for talks with the Government on May 7.

  • Anti-Corruption Movement: a Story of the Making of the Aam Admi Party and the Interplay of Political Representation in India
    Politics and Governance (ISSN: 2183–2463) 2019, Volume 7, Issue 3, Pages 189–198 DOI: 10.17645/pag.v7i3.2155 Article Anti-Corruption Movement: A Story of the Making of the Aam Admi Party and the Interplay of Political Representation in India Aheli Chowdhury Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, 11001 Delhi, India; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 30 March 2019 | Accepted: 26 July 2019 | Published: 24 September 2019 Abstract The Aam Admi Party (AAP; Party of the Common Man) was founded as the political outcome of an anti-corruption move- ment in India that lasted for 18 months between 2010–2012. The anti-corruption movement, better known as the India Against Corruption Movement (IAC), demanded the passage of the Janlokpal Act, an Ombudsman body. The movement mobilized public opinion against corruption and the need for the passage of a law to address its rising incidence. The claim to eradicate corruption captured the imagination of the middle class, and threw up several questions of representation. The movement prompted public and media debates over who represented civil society, who could claim to represent the ‘people’, and asked whether parliamentary democracy was a more authentic representative of the people’s wishes vis-à-vis a people’s democracy where people expressed their opinion through direct action. This article traces various ideas of po- litical representation within the IAC that preceded the formation of the AAP to reveal the emergence of populist repre- sentative democracy in India. It reveals the dynamic relationship forged by the movement with the media, which created a political field that challenged liberal democratic principles and legitimized popular public perception and opinion over laws and institutions.

  • 'India Against Corruption'
    Frontier Vol. 44, No. 9, September 11-17, 2011 THE ANNA MOMENT ‘India Against Corruption’ Satya Sagar TO CALL ANNA HAZARE'S crusade against corruption a 'second freedom movement' may be hyperbole but in recent times there has been no mass upsurge for a purely public cause, that has captured the imagination of so many. For an Indian public long tolerant of the misdeeds of its political servants turned quasi-mafia bosses this show of strength was a much-needed one. In any democracy while elected governments, the executive and the judiciary are supposed to balance each other's powers, ultimately it is the people who are the real masters and it is time the so-called 'rulers' understand this clearly. Politicians, who constantly hide behind their stolen or manipulated electoral victories, should beware the wrath of a vocal citizenry that is not going to be fooled forever and demands transparent, accountable and participatory governance. The legitimacy conferred upon elected politicians is valid only as long as they play by the rules of the Indian Constitution, the laws of the land and established democratic norms. If these rules are violated the legitimacy of being 'elected' should be taken away just as a bad driver loses his driving license or a football player is shown the red card for repeated fouls. The problem people face in India is clearly that there are no honest 'umpires' left to hand out these red cards anymore and this is not just the problem of a corrupt government or bureaucracy but of the falling values of Indian society itself.

  • An Indian Summer: Corruption, Class, and the Lokpal Protests
    Article Journal of Consumer Culture 2015, Vol. 15(2) 221–247 ! The Author(s) 2013 An Indian summer: Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav Corruption, class, and DOI: 10.1177/1469540513498614 the Lokpal protests joc.sagepub.com Aalok Khandekar Department of Technology and Society Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University, The Netherlands Deepa S Reddy Anthropology and Cross-Cultural Studies, University of Houston-Clear Lake, USA and Human Factors International Abstract In the summer of 2011, in the wake of some of India’s worst corruption scandals, a civil society group calling itself India Against Corruption was mobilizing unprecedented nation- wide support for the passage of a strong Jan Lokpal (Citizen’s Ombudsman) Bill by the Indian Parliament. The movement was, on its face, unusual: its figurehead, the 75-year- old Gandhian, Anna Hazare, was apparently rallying urban, middle-class professionals and youth in great numbers—a group otherwise notorious for its political apathy. The scale of the protests, of the scandals spurring them, and the intensity of media attention generated nothing short of a spectacle: the sense, if not the reality, of a united India Against Corruption. Against this background, we ask: what shared imagination of cor- ruption and political dysfunction, and what political ends are projected in the Lokpal protests? What are the class practices gathered under the ‘‘middle-class’’ rubric, and how do these characterize the unusual politics of summer 2011? Wholly permeated by routine habits of consumption, we argue that the Lokpal protests are fundamentally structured by the impulse to remake social relations in the image of products and ‘‘India’’ itself into a trusted brand.

  • Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 4158–4180 1932–8036/20170005 Fragile Hegemony: Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India SUBIR SINHA1 School of Oriental and African Studies, London, UK Direct and unmediated communication between the leader and the people defines and constitutes populism. I examine how social media, and communicative practices typical to it, function as sites and modes for constituting competing models of the leader, the people, and their relationship in contemporary Indian politics. Social media was mobilized for creating a parliamentary majority for Narendra Modi, who dominated this terrain and whose campaign mastered the use of different platforms to access and enroll diverse social groups into a winning coalition behind his claims to a “developmental sovereignty” ratified by “the people.” Following his victory, other parties and political formations have established substantial presence on these platforms. I examine emerging strategies of using social media to criticize and satirize Modi and offering alternative leader-people relations, thus democratizing social media. Practices of critique and its dissemination suggest the outlines of possible “counterpeople” available for enrollment in populism’s future forms. I conclude with remarks about the connection between activated citizens on social media and the fragility of hegemony in the domain of politics more generally. Keywords: Modi, populism, Twitter, WhatsApp, social media On January 24, 2017, India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), proudly tweeted that Narendra Modi, its iconic prime minister of India, had become “the world’s most followed leader on social media” (see Figure 1). Modi’s management of—and dominance over—media and social media was a key factor contributing to his convincing win in the 2014 general election, when he led his party to a parliamentary majority, winning 31% of the votes cast.

  • From India Against Corruption to the Aam Aadmi Party: Social Movements, Political Parties and Citizen Engagement in India
    Chapter 2 Prashant SHARMA From India Against Corruption to the Aam Aadmi Party: Social Movements, Political Parties and Citizen Engagement in India Introduction Anna Hazare, a well-known social activist, began a hunger strike in New Delhi in April 2011 to pressure the Indian Government to enact a strong and effective Lokpal (Federal Ombudsman) Act in order to root out corruption from the country, in response to the exposure of XQSUHFHGHQWHGÀQDQFLDOVFDPVDQGFRUUXSWLRQ1 3XEOLFWUXVWLQWKHJRYHUQPHQWVSHFLÀFDOO\DQGWKHSROLWLFDOFODVV LQ general seemed to be at an all-time low, which drew an impassioned response to Hazare’s fast, prompting the largest popular protest in India in recent memory. Thousands descended on the site of the fast in New Delhi in his support, leading some to call it ‘India’s Tahrir Square’ (Rajalakshmi 2011). Social media facilitated a huge outpouring of support for Hazare’s cause, the dominant tone of which was an anguished tirade against corruption. According to an editorial in The Indian Express: By now, it’s been compared to Tahrir, to 1968, even to Woodstock. For those who have never experienced the energy of a mass movement, the Anna Hazare-led movement over the Lokpal bill feels like catharsis, like revolution, a tidal wave that will sweep away the entire venal political class and replace it with those who feel their pain. What connects this crowd of ex-servicemen, yoga enthusiasts, auto-rickshaw unions, candle-light vigilantes, actors and corporate big shots and students? That they all feel let down, in different ways, by the political apparatus, and they are mad as hell (2011).

  • Lokpal and the Role of Media in Propping up Anti Corruption Movement in India
    International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research__________________________________ ISSN 2277 3630 IJSSIR, Vol. 2 (3), MARCH (2013) Online available at indianresearchjournals.com LOKPAL AND THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN PROPPING UP ANTI CORRUPTION MOVEMENT IN INDIA DR. ATANU MOHAPATRA HOD, FACULTY OF MEDIA STUDIES MANAV RACHNA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY FARIDABAD ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The existing devices for checks on elected and administrative officials have not been effective as the growing instances of corruption cases suggest. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is designed to inquire into allegations of corruption by administrative officials only but cannot punish the guilty The CBI, the premier investigating agency of the country, functions under the supervision of the Ministry of Personnel, public grievances and pensions (under the Prime Minister) and is therefore not immune from political pressure during investigation it can be said, ―the CVC is independent but does not have powers while CBI has power but is not independent‖. As a result the first cannot punish while the latter cannot investigate fairly. All these have necessitated the creation of an independent and high powered Lokpal with its own investigation team. Unfortunately for last four decades, no effective act or institution was developed. As a result, a nation-wide movement could take place with the leadership of a Gandhian social activist. Most importantly, this was the time when the nation witnessed many corruption cases at various level and the intervention of media has helped in taking to its heights and made it a national movement. Hence, while analyzing the historical perspectives of Lokpal, this study would attempt to answer the most pertinent question whether the mainstream media or social media helped in giving shape for a huge movement.
