While rumours and whispers regarding the movement have been floating around on Twitter since the morning of 8 September 2016, it was the Prime Minister's speech at 8 pm on Tuesday evening, that really fired up the Twitterati to come out in full swing.
The subject peaked at 11.30 PM last night with 2,000 tweets being generated per minute. Hashtag, #IndiaFightsCorruption #ModiFightsCorruption went viral instantly creating a digital community.
The unique facet of this mass Twitter conversation, was that the magnitude of this milestone development was such that it saw both celebrities as well as the 'common man' fall under the same umbrella, tweeting out under similar hashtags and echoing similar sentiments.
What could have possibly spurred the popularity of the topic on hand was its endorsement by Twitter heavyweights such as yoga gurus Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Baba Ramdev, celebrities from the world of Bollywood, politicos like Rajnath Singh and the Prime Minister himself.
