India Against Corruption

India Against Corruption (IAC) is the present avatar of the Hindustan Republican Association, which was founded on 3 October,1924 at Kanpur by Sachindra Nath Sanyal and other freedom fighters but was banned as a terrorist organization by the Government of British India. The people's movement (jan andolan) was revived twice after Indian Independence as a collective expression of the Indian people, fed up with the Congress Party misrule and corruption, on 17 April 1973 by Raj Narain and again on 26 February 2007 by Sarbajit Roy IAC's current National Convenor.

The organisers of the present movement brought millions of people onto the streets in 2011 protesting perceived widespread corruption and the illegal system requiring bribes at every level of governance to get things done where democratically elected governments are so beholden to special interests that they can no longer deliver reform.
