On April 9, 2011 an activist in India named Anne Hazare decided he would end his hunger strike if the Indian government would adopt a new law. The activist had been fasting for four days but agreed to stop once the government called a committee to implement a new anti corruption law. Hazare's strike brought thousands of onlookers to New Delhi to look at the spectacle. The Indian government finally gave in and said they would draft a new law by June 30th. Hazare said of his hunger strike, "Its a victory for the people of India."
