The RTI movement made people realise that access to information is critical to getting basic rights . The struggle for RTI has been a people's campaign. What began as poor villagers questioning about wages in public works developed into a huge campaign with multiple questions from multiple geographic areas on a spectrum of issues. The act of questioning itself was viewed as an offence before RTI came into effect. Authorities at all levels have become responsive. The constitutional definition of the sovereign has got a practical shape through the act of questioning this has been a public perception of RTI. The RTI movement demonstrated the power of grassroots activism in sustaining democratic processes . Given today's political and socal scenario it has become challenging which makes it all more important for all the citizens of the country to uphold constitutional values and principles. It allows us to check any arbitrary use of power. RTI has given every concerned citizens an opportunity to engage in public action. Any effort to subvert RTI has to be challenged tooth and nail as it is the gateway to democratic rights .
