Could the RTI be a means of forcing the state to respond to the people of India? Elaborate.

The RTI ACT 2005 is a law enacted by the Parliament of India. This Act gives Indians (except those in the state of J&K who have their own special law) access to Government records.
Under the terms of RTI Act, any person may request information from 'a public authority' (a body of Government or instrumentality of state) which is expected to reply as soon as possible or within 30 days.

The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to proactively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally.

The Right to Information Act specifies that citizens have a right to inspect documents, works & records on public issues.
