India's Gen Z Protests Prompt Minister's Resignation Amid Calls for Constitutional Dissent
Recent protests led by India's Gen Z, notably the Cockroach Janta Party movement, have sparked widespread attention, culminating in Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET paper leak. While some view these protests as a digital-native-driven political awakening, experts caution against oversimplifying India's diverse youth under a single generational label. Author Amish Tripathi emphasizes that dissent is a recurring feature across generations but should remain within constitutional limits. The movement's impact and government response continue to shape political discourse.
