India Against Corruption

India Against Corruption ("IAC") is a people's organisation affiliated to the Hindustan Republican Association which was founded on 3 October,1924 at Kanpur (United Provinces) 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.

An anti-corruption campaign commissioned by the IAC movement in September 2010 was supported by numerous activist organisations all working under the banner of India Against Corruption and brought millions of protestors onto the streets in January 2011. The IAC campaign fanned popular anger against 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.

The IAC movement today is an apolitical, secular, socialist, Republican, conservative, revolutionary, Hindutva movement.
(NB: Hindutva is an ancient inclusive way of life inherently capable of harmoniously accommodating all faiths, religions and beliefs or non-beliefs).

As per IAC's ideology, "Hinduism is pre-eminently tolerant to all other religions and believes that each man will attain salvation if he follows his own religion" - Acharya RajNarayan Basu, 1873, Pradhanacharya Rammohun Roy, 1829 [1]
