Core point

Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation marked a significant moment in Narendra Modi's 12-year rule in India. The resignation followed intense street protests led by young activists who felt empowered to effect change. The protests were sparked by the cancellation of India's biggest medical entrance exam, which led to widespread outrage and tragic consequences. Activists believe this movement is just the beginning of a larger push for reforms and accountability.
