Episode Details

India’s youth are shaking things up with the Cockroach Janta Party, a student-led movement that forced a cabinet minister to resign — a rare win against Prime Minister Modi’s 12-year rule. Starting over leaked exam papers, their protests ballooned into demands for accountability on unemployment and transparency, all without party backing. This bold show of digital-age activism is empowering citizens, breaking down fear of dissent, and forcing Modi’s government to adapt — from social media appearances to slang-heavy outreach. The movement insists it’s not seeking power but wants to remain a watchdog, proving public pressure still works in democracy and challenging the myth that Modi is untouchable.
