Episode Details

Young Indians are turning government-backed social media into a weapon of resistance, using memes, viral videos, and cheeky edits to challenge authority—especially on education reforms and accountability. Born from outrage over exam scandals, the “Cockroach” movement has evolved into a digital uprising where Gen Z refuses to stay silent. They’re livestreaming protests, parodying pro-government news, and even turning police encounters into TikTok hits.

This viral rebellion isn’t just loud—it’s reshaping the conversation and forcing the government to listen.
