Artha VijnanaSummary: Lobbying is a well-established practice though it operates in a largely opaque environment in India. Eventhough there are no regulations on lobbying, it is not illegal. The presence of professional lobbyists, including those dealing with public interest matters, has been evident in public spheres, their forms and processes are varying. It is hypothesized in this paper that social lobbying through social setting including pressurising the governments through public protests in India is more effective in causing legislators to take positions that are requested by the interest groups lobbyists. The aforesaid hypothesis is examined in respect of creating conducive environment leading to the setting of a transparency law, the Right to Information (RTI) Act and the Jan Lokpal (Anti-Corruption Law) in India.- Reproduced
