A 22-year-old Indian man named Hardik Patel is making headlines across India. On Aug 25, he led a massive protest attended by at least 300,000 people, the BBC reported. The protest shut down Ahmedabad, the main city in the Indian state of Gujarat. Patel recently announced plans for a 10-day march through Gujarat’s major cities to press for his demand that the Patels – widely considered to be among India’s most *affluent communities –be given better access to government jobs and education through the *quota system.
