Indian anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare offers prayers at a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi in Mumbai, India, Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011. The activist began a three-day hunger strike Tuesday even as the country's Parliament prepared to debate legislation to create an anti-corruption watchdog. Hazare, who claims inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi has called his protest against corruption the second freedom struggle and has fasted three times already to garner support for his demands.
