Rahul Gandhi Launches Satyagraha Platform to Map Protests
Rahul Gandhi has launched a website called Satyagraha.
It is meant to show protests from across India on one map.
People can add their name, group and the issue they are protesting.
They can also say if they want help.
The map may help people find others who are working on similar problems.
Gandhi said many people are fighting for their rights, sometimes on their own.
He said he may raise some issues in Parliament, write letters or join people at protests.
The articles describe this as a way to connect protest movements and share their stories.
Rahul Gandhi announced Satyagraha, a digital platform intended to map and consolidate protests across India.
Protesters can submit their names, group details and the issue they are raising, and indicate whether they seek assistance.
The map is meant to help people identify others involved in similar struggles and bring separate movements together.
Gandhi cited protests involving students, farmers, Adivasis, Dalits, women, land, education, exams and rising prices.
He said he would try to support causes in Parliament, through letters or by joining people on the ground.
