India's turmoil dents Modi's image
The article discusses widespread protests in India against the exam system and leaks that led to the resignation of the Education Minister. The controversy arose after the leak of the 2026 Medical College Admission Test ("NEET") questions, which affected approximately two million students, resulting in suicides and a decline in confidence in the educational system. The popular movement, known as the "Cockroach Janata Party," began as a satirical response to judicial statements but grew into a large online youth movement, where student anger and calls for fundamental reform of the exam system were expressed. The protests escalated into clashes with police, leading to the resignation of Minister DarmanDra Pradhan, with demands for reform and the dropping of charges against protesters. Legislation has also been promised to tighten penalties for those involved in leaks. These events indicate increasing government pressure that threatens its authority and highlight how insults and online political organization can put pressure on those in power, although the crisis has not yet resulted in the complete fall of the government.
