India's youth: The cockroaches are not to be killed

The article reports on a youth-led protest movement in India that has forced Education Minister to resign. The protests, referred to as 'Kakerlaken' (cockroaches), have persisted despite police crackdowns using tear gas and batons. The movement highlights dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's authoritarian style, restrictions on freedom of speech, control over institutions, and the poor state of the education system. Youth activists are also critical of the increasingly closed political system, which they claim ignores their concerns. While the government has made concessions, the underlying structural issues remain unresolved, and further unrest is anticipated.
