'Cockroach' Protests Spread Across India as Leading Activist Ends Hunger Strike The "Cockroach" protests that began as a satirical youth movement have grown into one of the most sustained challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in years.
The protests started as a reaction to alleged leaks in university entrance exams but have since morphed into a broader critique of India's education system, economic inequality, and the government's handling of public discontent.
The protests have spread from New Delhi to cities across the country, including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad.
