Why are thousands protesting for education reform in India?

Core point

Tens of thousands of Gen Z protesters have taken to the streets of Delhi, calling for the resignation of the education minister. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) began as a satirical online movement and has quickly grown into a significant youth movement. The protests gained momentum after activist Sonam Wangchuk went on hunger strike in support of the CJP. The movement's name is a parody of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
