India Against System ? 
Since the last year number of NGO's gather under the banner of India Against Corruption to fight against scams and scandals happening in country mostly by political leaders. The last year in 2011 when India won the world cup after that there was empty space in media at the same time there was campaign by this group of NGO's started in Jantar Mantar to amend Lokpal Bill. Delhi based news channels give exclusive and wide coverage to their protest , surprisingly after the ,media exposure supporters drastically increased and the movement went become mass movement ,there are some more points to look out 
1) Electronic Media's helping hand - 
After the media exclusive coverage and time to time update about the movement it became "event" were some people came just to get opportunity to screen on TV, there were food stalls ,people came in freedom fighter's attire, celebrity turning up on the stage shouting slogans against corruption , By seeing this drama many people posted this video on social networking sites ,discussing started over it this all happened because of electronic media's attention.
2)Anti Politician Attitude 
Generally we are told in India politics is last stop of all gunda's so many people just hate politics and politicians , they dont vote and completely negative approach towards he system unfortunately that class is middle class and upper middle class .IAC put forwards this thought only in different tone of Lokpal and asking government to change the system
3)Organizers’ failure 
The movement did not have clear cut ideology or program to give to their supporters .The only demand was for Lokpal bill and to punish corrupt politicians but movement did not talk about corruption in the other fields may be to secure their funds .Failure of these resulted in violence against media who showed faults of the movement from the battle ground ,many considered shouting slogan or candle march will work to amend lokpal and to punish the corrupt politicians but it did not worked . Organisers and leaders were only busy in gathering more and more people and gaining media attention and to remain in lime light , they fail to give ideological , long lasting structural base to the movement which will keep the spirit even if movement stops.
4)Political Party
After constant criticism on the system by the agitators , many asked them to come in the system and change then gave them challenge and it was necessary after the point when IAC was possessing extreme cynicism about the system .Many of the leaders want to work as a pressure group which will not join politics but look after the politics and take center stage to guide the common people and raised voice as a watchdog or whistle blower. Mostly senior members like anna , justice hedge , kiran bedi were not ready for electoral politics.The young blood in the organisation want to challenge established politicians by bringing so called common man in electoral politics , Kejrial by that time became important leader of the IAC .Many of political activist advised him instead of working as mere pressure group they need to join politics and give their supporters option in election in order to bring reform they want to. Forming political was never on the agenda of the movement agenda was amending lokpal to reduce corruption .
5)future
However kejriwal cant go in Indian Public with India Against Corruption name , they are working on the name till date.Kejriwal started his by party without announcing its name how strange it sounds !Kejriwal is now putting corruption charges on dominant and influential leaders in many parties.The name decides border for their party that is party will only to fight corruption its has not spoken its take on other matter such as social and religious issues .Only grabbing media attention can give them eyeballs not strong base , ideology ,structure to run a party
