  The Movement in India Is No Longer Just a Student Movement Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/10/blog-post_04.html What is happening in India is a movement against the government that won't end. In 2012, Anna Hazare raised the issue of corruption, and people bought into it, which led to the downfall of the Congress government. Over the last 12 years, no one has been charged. That does not mean corruption did not take place; it simply means contracts were assigned through proper channels and may have been given to selected businesses that the government felt had a better chance of completing those projects.
