India's Gen Z-led 'cockroach' protest movement continues despite police crackdowns, with students demanding accountability for nationwide exam paper leaks. PM Modi promised fast-track courts to prosecute fraud but protesters say action is too slow.
India's student-led 'cockroach' protest movement continues despite police crackdowns, demanding accountability for nationwide exam paper leaks. PM Modi promised fast-track courts to prosecute fraud, but protesters say the response is too slow.
The 'cockroach' label is Gen Z's framing of the issue—exam fraud is vermin infesting the system. The fact that students are still protesting despite police pressure indicates deep anger over institutional rot. Modi's fast-track courts are a concession that signals he recognizes the seriousness, but students want immediate accountability, not bureaucratic speed-ups. When young people lose faith in basic institutions like exams, it erodes trust in the entire system. The intensity of student-led protests also suggests this could grow if the promised courts move slowly or fail to convict.
