On Sunday, thousands of people across New Delhi showed their support for social activist Anna Hazare, as he starts an indefinite hunger strike against corruption until the government agrees to his demands for a stringent anti-graft bill known as the Jan Lokpal. Mr. Hazare held a 12-day fast in August.

Indian activist Anna Hazare, who galvanised the country last year with his hunger strikes against corruption, began a new fast Sunday to press demands for a crackdown on official graft. Hazare and his supporters want parliament to strengthen a pending anti-corruption bill.
