The Cockroach Uprising: A Rebellion Against India's Education System The protests in New Delhi on Monday, where hundreds of supporters of the "cockroach" movement marched on parliament, have sent a clear message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government: enough is enough.
The months long campaign has tapped into deep seated frustrations among young Indians over issues like high youth unemployment, frequent examination paper leaks, and a broken education system.
The crisis in India's education system can be traced back to the national medical school entrance test leak in May, which affected more than 2 million students.
