Gen Z weaponizes memes to challenge Modi as protests grow
TL;DR Summary
India’s youth protests in Delhi amplify their message online with memes, spoof videos and satire to pressure Modi after education scandals. A satirical group called the Cockroach Janta Party has helped turn a single-issue campaign into a broader, online-driven movement, with protesters mocking Modi, critiquing government coverage, and sharing viral clips from police clashes, broadening the protests beyond the streets and posing a new challenge to Modi’s image among a large, digitally engaged younger electorate.
