A Hindi-origin term used widely in Indian English for a political or spiritual march on foot. Padyatras have been a cornerstone of Indian political activism since Gandhi's era — walking from village to village to spread a message, build support, or demonstrate commitment. The word combines 'pada' (foot) and 'yatra' (journey/pilgrimage), making the etymology unusually transparent. Modern Indian politicians still undertake high-profile padyatras as campaign tools.
