Can India’s youth-led protest movement bring lasting change? | | Education

What started as an online rant has turned into a massive nationwide movement against the Indian government.

A party called the Cockroach Janta Party was launched into politics in May after the key documents were leaked, sparking public outcry.

But concerns have grown, including youth unemployment and other issues affecting young people.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be facing a major challenge in his third term.

Despite promises to end the test leak, protest leaders insist that this is not enough. He said he will not back down until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.

So, will this bring lasting change? And can the team still be strong?
