Abstract
The objective of the study is to look at the trend in resistance
to change during a social movement and specifically Anna
Hazare’s movement. The most striking feature of this nation-wide
movement is that all forms of mass protests, demonstrations,
and hunger strikes throughout the movement were absolutely
non-violent. Anna was able to get support of millions across the
country but throughout the movement Anna had to face different
forms of resistances. In this paper we are exploring the trend
explaining the different forms of resistances that Anna came across
during his movement. Though the results of the study are case
specific, still we get an insight of the various factors that contribute
to resistance to change in a democratic setup. We are trying to
explain resistance to change during the movement both
analytically and methodologically.
