Abstract: Perhaps the most important global event of the period during which I conducted my research for the PhD thesis was the Purple Revolution, which started in, but was not limited to, the Middle East.The revolution was as much about democracy as about corruption and injustice.The Purple Revolution had its fair share of influence around the world -India was no exception.As political scams and scandals broke one after the other in India during the period, a major mass movement soon emerged, led by a platform which came to be known as India Against Corruption, with corruption as the single point agenda.This process of social churning was an interesting backdrop and provided much of the critical thoughts and questions that shaped my research for the thesis.
