"Gandhigiri" The public face of the movement, Anna Hazare, illustrates himself as a Gandhian. His social movements, centered in Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra, hark back to Gandhiji's Phoenix ranch and Sabarmati ashram. Understanding this neo-Gandhian activism, "Gandhigiri" is a key to understanding the Anna Hazare movement. For more than two decades, Anna Hazare has been heroically fighting corruption through peaceful agitation and starvation strikes, following the model of Mahatma Gandhi.
