A student movement has suddenly exploded in India, catching the government off guard as it was occupied with other issues, according to reports. The protests, which involve mass demonstrations, have been dubbed the 'Cockroach Revolt.'
The youth-led movement is staging mass protests across the country, with demonstrators demanding a proper education. The protests are referred to as the 'Cockroach Revolt' and are described as exposing cracks in the government's vision of a rising India.
India's economic failings have inflamed young people, according to reports.
There are no easy solutions to the problems behind the student movement in India. The government did not foresee the youth-led protest movement, which challenges its narrative of progress.
