The ongoing movement for establishment of a Jan Lokpal created stir throughout India. The institution was supposed to work as a watchdog to deal with corruption in public offices. This movement was led by Anna Hazare who was one of India's highly acclaimed social activists. A former employee in the Indian army, Anna was recognised and appreciated for upgrading the ecology and economy of the drought prone village of Ralegan Siddhi in the State of Maharashtra. With his initiatives such as adoption of unique water conservation methods, the one-time barren village was transformed into a unique model of rural development. Gradually, Anna’s name became synonymous with rural development. Apart from rural development initiatives, the Gandhian-styled social activist also vowed to remove corruption from the country and empower citizens with the Right to Information. He staged a number of protests and observed several fasts to spread the awareness among the masses. The Anna frenzy caught the nation like wildfire, bringing all Indians under one platform, a phenomenon very rarely witnessed in the history of independent India. Although he did not hold any public office, his referent power and charisma exerted deep influence over the masses. This movement not only got the support of the general public, but also received criticism from several quarters. It was supported on the basis that passing the Bill could benefit the deserving people and punish those who exploited and misused their powers. Through his movement, Anna suggested tips to the small-sized entrepreneurs, so that they could learn some lessons and follow the right path towards success. At the same time, it was criticised on the grounds that creation of the Jan Lokpal could bypass and destabilise the powers of the democratic Government. In the light of these, the case study shall be an attempt to present the pros and cons of the movement, the lessons to be learnt by entrepreneurs and the entire political system as well as viability of Anna’s visions in times to come.
