2014 Azadi march

The 2014 Azadi March, also known as the Azaadi March, was a significant political demonstration in India, spearheaded by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal. The march commenced on August 15, 2014, marking India's Independence Day, and aimed to raise awareness about corruption and demand greater transparency in governance. Protesters congregated in various cities across the country, with a substantial presence in Delhi, where they called for systemic reforms and the establishment of a 'Jan Lokpal' (citizens' ombudsman) to combat corruption. The movement garnered widespread attention, symbolizing the public's discontent with entrenched political practices, and played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse on governmental accountability in contemporary India.
