India's Gen Z 'Cockroach' Movement
Youth-led protests over exam paper leaks secure Education Minister resignation; NTA reforms panel formed with concrete legislative changes (5-year minimum, 50M rupee fines). Movement deliberately avoids forming party to evade crackdown. Prashant Kishor's by-election win in Bankipur signals anti-incumbency momentum. Potential impact on 2027 state polls and 2029 national election. Aligns with global Gen Z mobilization.
