Despite the threat of another police crackdown, the Cockroach Movement continues to show up outside India's Parliament demanding the resignation of the country's education minister.
Over 1.23 lakh students died by suicide between 2014 and 2024, of which more than one-fifth were due to failure in examinations, stressing the need for taking the various pressures faced by Indian students seriously amid the ongoing protests. ✍️@SambaviParthy

Insta has started showing fewer protest related videos. This entire movement is spreading because of social media posts and videos. The moment these posts and videos stop reaching people, the momentum of the protests will slow down too. Keep posting, liking and sharing. Don't let the algorithm bury protest related content.
I really wanted to share the creativity of armys in india in the middle of national protests, so here is a thread of the edits they have made using bts songs‼️
a real testament to bts’ message, their music and how they inspire young people 🫶
People around the world are protesting in support of India’s youth-led “cockroach” movement that calls for education reform and government accountability.
The 'Cockroach' revolt shows the extent to which India’s rising economy is failing to absorb a surging number of young unemployed graduates. Read here: https://t.co/ps1xVf6B9r

A satirical Gen Z-led movement called the Cockroach Janta Party has gained momentum across India as citizens demand educational reforms and government accountability from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration.
While the protests were sparked by repeated exam paper leaks like the NEET medical entrance exam, the movement stems from a history of unemployment and limited economic opportunities for India’s youth.
Tear gas and batons. Suspended metro services and mobile internet. Reported unnecessary and excessive use of force against peaceful protesters. Demonstrators in India were marching towards parliament to demand the resignation of a Union education minister following alleged examination paper leaks that affected millions of students. The Delhi Police responded with violent crackdowns.
Indian authorities must ensure that all allegations of unlawful conduct against these Cockroach Party-led protests are promptly, independently, and impartially investigated.
The sheer amount of anti-Modi hatred at the protests is astonishing. Not just against the government or the Party in general, but against Modi personally.
People are mocking him directly, shouting anti-Modi slogans, singing songs cursing him, defacing his posters and images, and it won't be surprising if people start burning his effigies on the streets.
This is an astonishing failure of Modi's omnipresent PR machinery. For more than a decade, they worked overtime to sanitize Modi's image, mythologizing him as an infallible, quasi-divine entity beyond reproach. Credit for every successful government policy was always attributed to him, while he was carefully kept away from all its failures, for which his minions (e.g. ministers) eagerly absorbed the blame. Corporate media sang his praises and extolled his virtues day after day. It was perhaps the biggest cult of personality in modern India's political history, surpassing even that of Nehru.
And today, it's all going down the drain. The house of cards is crashing down. As always, pride came before the fall. Style can only win over substance for so long.
