인도 활동가, 모디 정부에 맞서 단식 시작

Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you would give up eating to make your point? That is what happened in India recently.

Young people across India organized a huge protest movement. They wanted to speak against their prime minister and his government. The protest became so big and so loud that people started calling it the "cockroach" movement. This was one of the largest shows of disagreement against the government in many years.

One brave activist went on a hunger strike. This means he stopped eating food for a long period of time. He did this to show how much he cared about the protest and to make others pay attention. Hunger strikes are a powerful way to tell the world: "This problem is very serious."

When the BBC asked this activist about what happened, he said the youth protests had made the prime minister weaker. He meant that the leader's power and support had become smaller. The government had to listen because so many people were speaking together.

The protests showed something important. Young people can make change happen. When many voices speak as one, even powerful leaders must hear them. The youth did not stay quiet. They stood up for what they believed was right.

This movement teaches us that speaking up matters. It shows that ordinary people can move a country. In India, young people proved that even when the odds are difficult, protest and courage can work.
