It is important for every individual to understand that he/she should take unwanted advantage of the authority or power given to him especially the government officials. People who are rich and have contacts with the government officials can very easily get their problems solved. They can easily kill any one and roam freely around the world.

He fought against corruption and was to some extent successful in doing so. Anna was not the only person who fasted, there were people all over the country who were supporting him and were on hunger strike along with him. He was the only man who took the initiative against the wrong that was being done to the public. (TOI, 2011)
