The two are studying Hindi at Delhi University and have been in India for two years.

“We have been victims of corruption ourselves and truly support Hazare’s movement,” said Wickes. However, they feel such a movement would never have succeeded in the United Kingdom (UK).

“The government as well as the common man would have ignored the protesters. No doubt there is corruption in the UK as well but it is concealed very well. Here everyone knows about it and they are tired of it,” Chadwick-Dobson said.
