Ana Hazare growing popular among youngs


Anna Hazare's campaign against corruption may be rooted in Gandhian values, but it's
 getting much support from modern communication tools.

Mobile movement 
Just like in the West Asian and African prodemocracy
 movements, modern telephony has greatly helped spread
the message of Anna's resolve to go on an indefinite fast.

Organisers had sent group SMSes at random, asking people to give missed call on a certain number to express their solidarity.
The organisers had sent
 group SMSes at random, asking people to give
 missed call on a certain number to express their solidarity.
 And, the result was astonishing. More than 7 lakh such missed calls were registered.
FB portal flooded 
Hazare
The number of members in India Against Corruption Facebook page have swelled from 5 lakh to a staggering 12 lakh in two days flat.
Talking of technology, the internet revolution cannot be ignored. Not the least by India Against Corruption. A 
country anguished by the stupendous rise in corruption 
has chosen the organisation's Facebook portal to give 
vent to its feelings. Else, the number of its FB members wouldn't  have swelled from 5 lakh to a staggering
 12 lakh in two days flat. Better still, the count is growing
every minute and so are the number of its followers on 
Twitter.
Anna Hazare's campaign in numbers
40,106 is the number of people who 'like' Hazare's '
India Against Corruption' page on Facebook, called
'Indiacor'.
400 locations across world are seeing similar protests, including Montreal, San Jose, Minneapolis
 & Amsterdam. 7 lakh people have expressed solidarity with the movement by giving a missed call on 022-61550789.
Please repost on FB and tweet "Social activist #Anna #Hazare fasts unto death against corruption in India.
 Whole nation fasts on April 9. Pls re-tweet even if not Indian!"
