Mass movements..! 1) Promising of glorious future by leaders. 2) Glorification of past and devaluation of present makes followers willing to sacrifice themselves for future goals. 3) People who are frustrated by their current state are soft targets of the persuasive appeals made by leaders of mass movements. 4) Also, people who have flawed self-concept try to escape it thru creation of an imaginary self and joining a collective whole. 5) Accumulation of pent up energy by means of long period of corruption which general public is facing. So this mass support is means of realising d accumulted pent up energy. TOPIC:LEADERSHIP FOR SOCIAL CHANGE--- ABSOLUTE LINK WITH ANNA HAZARE... WHAT ALL IS HE DOING?
