India's Gen Z Protesters Oust Minister
India’s youth-led protests resulted in the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after a week of demonstrations, marking a significant moment in a country where few cabinet members have resigned under Narendra Modi’s government. The protests were sparked by outrage over a medical entrance exam paper leak, the death of students blaming the scandal, and broader issues like unemployment and systemic failures in education and job opportunities. Young protesters used social media to mobilize, express their frustrations, and challenge government authority, signaling a shift in youth confidence and activism despite fears of crackdowns.
