Weeks-old Gen-Z protest group managed to get India's Modi to blink. What's next? | CNN

A youth-led protest movement in India, only weeks old, forced the Modi government to back down after tens of thousands of Gen Z demonstrators flooded New Delhi’s streets for days. The “Cockroach Janta Party” staged a satirical campaign demanding accountability for a reported leak of a university entrance exam that protesters say cost millions of students a fair shot. The protests targeted education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, described as a trusted Modi lieutenant, leading to his resignation on Saturday. At Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century observatory used as a base, crowds celebrated the reversal, with supporters saying the momentum could inspire further demands.
