India's Youth-Led Revolution: 'Cockroach Movement' Demands Education Reform

A wave of discontent is sweeping across India as thousands of young people take to the streets to demand change in the country's education system. The 'Cockroach Movement', led by the Cockroach Janta Party, has been gaining momentum since May when question papers for a national entrance test to medical school leaked, affecting over two million students. The movement's demands include the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, compensation for students who died by suicide due to exam stress, and an end to corruption in the education sector. Despite police efforts to disperse them, protesters have remained determined, with many chanting 'Quit, quit' and waving the national flag. The movement has also gained support from opposition parties, with many seeing it as a significant challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. As the protests continue, the government has promised to weigh the movement's demands, with Health Minister JP Nadda asking for time to discuss the issues within the government.
