India’s Parliament voted to adopt anticorruption legislation Saturday, following two weeks of protests that brought hundreds of thousands into the streets in support of their leader, anticorruption activist Anna Hazare. After a day of debate, the Indian Parliament ceded to Hazare’s demands, which called for a central, independent anticorruption agency to monitor the government.
