What PopBase has written is just a small portion of the entire narrative.

To anyone not from India, this is what is happening in India, I urge you to read through this long tweet :

India is facing severe civil unrest driven by systemic failures in its education and a horrible job market. With youth unemployment nearing 40% for recent graduates. The primary catalyst for the protests was the leaking of the highly competitive NEET (medical entrance exam) on Telegram.

Over 2 million students compete for roughly 130,000 spots, making the test a critical, high-stress lifeline out of poverty.

Adding to the frustration, the government's 12th board exam portal was recently hacked by three teenagers, exposing severe cybersecurity flaws and a complete lack of grading transparency.

The resulting cancellation of exams and pervasive unfairness devastated exhausted students, tragically contributing to numerous reported suicides.

______________

The movement gained further momentum when prominent activist, engineer, and educator Sonam Wangchuk joined with an indefinite hunger strike. After fasting for over 20 days, police forcibly detained (KIDNAPPED) and hospitalized him, despite his peaceful approach.

______________

Instead of engaging in dialogue with millions of young children from 9-20 are peacefully demanding across the entire country, the government has responded with heavy-handed tactics. Protesters are beaten by police with sticks with nails, expired tear gas (which is highly lethal), groping of underage women protestors on the sites, and internet black.

The ruling party has refused to make concessions, reportedly out of fear that holding high-ranking officials accountable would show political weakness and set an unwanted precedent.

For many observers, this crisis is a symptom of a broader slide toward authoritarianism in India over the last decade. Many argue the government has steadily eroded democratic institutions by favoring oligarchs, purchasing media compliance, suppressing voter rolls, and silencing political opposition, a prominent Opposition was thrashed at the Protest Site as well.

__________________________

What began as a protest over a leaked exam has evolved into a mass outcry against deep-seated corruption, zero political accountability, and the loss of a once-vibrant democracy.

The entire country is demanding the Resignation of the Minister who was aware of the discrepancies in his System for years, and the Prime Minister who is protecting.

This is what I was tweeting about yesterday. We can no longer rely on the assumption ai will be visually distinct or bad looking. Yesterday I heard an ai song that was horrifyingly good to where I was shocked it was ai. You must be against ai on principle, not bc of aesthetic
