“The team, comprising lawyers, journalists, MBA graduates, political science students, activists and public policy professionals, handled everything from setting up the stage and managing crowds to coordinating with the media and drafting the protest’s charter of demands.”

The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.
It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indian’s future is jeopardised again.
The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.
IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY
direct democracy... straight from the streets.
It's a victory of peace, patience & persévérance.
Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation.
FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS
As an educator, I find it deeply painful to watch the image of our students being tarnished on media.
The students' protest is taking place peacefully at Jantar Mantar. If there are reports of violence elsewhere in Delhi, please do not rush to attribute them to this movement without evidence. Those who genuinely know these young people have seen their extraordinary patience, discipline and restraint.
I often wonder: what kind of system is so quick to distrust its own students? Why is it easier to question their intentions than to hear their concerns?
Our children deserve to be protected, not portrayed as villains. Their voices deserve to be heard, not drowned out by narratives that serve vested interests.
Everybody should watch Samdish's coverage video. The man did exactly what a journalist is supposed to do, and more.
I have never seen such anger on his face.
I hope our govt starts a meaningful dialogue with Sonam Wangchuk and the student bodies so his health does not deteriorate any further ! Please end your fast Sonam. Your health is as important as this fight. You and the students are fighting for the future of India and for our youth. My heartfelt & unwavering support to every student & to Sonam in this fight to uplift & upgrade our educational system . More power to all of you. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
The most interesting thing about the protest: Almost everybody I spoke to didn't even mention Abhijeet Dipke or CJP or Sonam Wangchuk. All they mentioned was paper leaks, dictatorship and democracy in danger. This protest has taken the form of a huge anti-incumbency protest.
