India’s student protests win big as education minister quits
A Gen Z‑led student movement, backed by the Cockroach Janta Party, forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign and won concessions from the Modi government, including a charter for exam reform and dropping prosecutions against demonstrators. With Pradhan out and concessions secured, protesters say they are halting the protests for now, though broader grievances about education and graduate unemployment persist.
