Anna Hazare's fast unto death against corruption in India... Kiran Bedi also seen with him
Anna's historic crusade was for the introduction of the Right to Information (RTI) Act
in Maharashtra. Anna felt that the Official Secrets Act
of 1923 imposed by the British was used to loot the country. He led a protest to force the government for removing the Official Secrets Act and replace the same with transparency 
in the government that would have been possible by introducing the Right to information act.

He led a protest to force the government for removing the Official Secrets Act and replace the same with transparency in the government that would have been possible by introducing the Right to information act. In order to seek rights to know as to what goes on in government offices and ministries, he undertook a fast unto death at Azad Maidan, Mumbai in 2003. This protest 
resulted into implementation of state RTI Act. Nevertheless, the legislation 
passed by the Maharashtra Government was ineffective because of any loopholes in it. Subsequently, he resumed the campaign 
and succeeded in setting up an expert citizens' committee
to strengthen the toothless law. Eventually, this act became the main theme of the national Right to Information RTI Act that came into force on 12 October 2005.
