The India Against Corruption Jan Andolan (IAC) is a collective organised synergistic People's Movement formed to ensure a corruption free India. The apolitical movement has spawned a non-affiliated political party the Aam Aadmi Party {{citation}}: Empty citation (help) after a fractious split.

Objectives of the movement

IAC's current objective, as stated on its website, is for direct participatory democracy of citizens (without caring about leaders or big names) to rid the Greater Indian nation of corruption wherever it is found by whatever means necessary. Accordingly, IAC offers and manages a series of platforms and tools to empower individuals who share a common dream that someday (soon) corruption will be eliminated in India.

IAC split

Formation of a political party

In September 2012 Arvind Kejriwal was blamed for announcing his decision to leave IAC to form a political party and accused of wrecking the anti-corruption campaign because of his political ambitions and confirmation the movement has split due to politics..

Cyber-War incidents

In October 2012, a series of cyber/hacking incidents between IAC HQ and the "Arvind faction" resulted in a "coup" for control over the IAC database for benefit of all supporters of IAC movement not only those aligned to the political faction.

Kejriwal withdraws

On 10.Nov.2012 Kejriwal said he would not use the name of India Against Corruption after 26.Nov.2012 .

IAC++ mailing list relaunched

The next day 11.Nov.2012, the IAC's mailing list is re-launched by the apolitical faction, stating The IAC is an apolitical people's social movement to "cause" change in society.
