In the past decades, several grassroots movement organisations across the world have tackled the issue of corruption with the aim of mobilising knowledge on this widespread problem. In our paper, we look at three bottom-up civil society organisations and collective actors fighting for greater transparency and curbing of corruption in Indian society, highlighting how they employ visuals to debate on these issues and to communicate their mission to their audiences. The focus is on how the initiatives employed visuals to discuss a particular anti-corruption policy of the central government. In particular, our paper sheds light on the dynamics between the three initiatives and the government especially at a time when democratic credentials of the country are in decline. Inspired by Rodriguez and Dimitrova’s four levels of visual framing, we propose a revised schema for visual framing analysis, taking into account contextual dimensions, in our study of visuals as tools enhancing public debates on corruption and anti-corruption practices.

在过去的几十年里，世界各地的几个草根运动组织都在解决腐败问题，目的是动员人们对这一普遍问题的认识。在我们的论文中，我们研究了三个自下而上的民间社会组织和集体行动者，他们为提高印度社会的透明度​​和遏制腐败而奋斗，强调他们如何利用视觉效果来辩论这些问题并向观众传达他们的使命。重点是这些倡议如何利用视觉来讨论中央政府的特定反腐败政策。特别是，我们的论文揭示了这三项倡议与政府之间的动态，特别是在该国民主信誉下降的时期。受到 Rodriguez 和 Dimitrova 的四个层次的视觉框架的启发，
