The Summer of Discontent: How the ‘India Against Corruption’ Movement Unfolded; Case C: History Repeats Itself

Abstract

Case C case follows IAC’s quest to incorporate the non-binding ‘sense of the house’ resolution into the final version of the Lokpal Bill. Though the bill was cleared by the lower house of parliament, it failed to pass through the upper house of parliament – and thus could not be enacted.
