In New Delhi, India, protests erupted as thousands of students took to the streets demanding action over alleged fraud in university entrance exams. The demonstrations, which were termed by some as a "revolt of the cockroach," reflect widespread dissatisfaction with the country's educational system and a call for government accountability. Tensions escalated on July 20, when police responded to the protesters by deploying tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowd.
Despite the violent crackdown, students returned to the protest sites the following day, determined to continue their demonstrations. Reports indicate that the police's use of force, which included not only tear gas but also physical confrontations, sparked outrage among the demonstrators and has been met with calls for justice and reform in the education sector. Protesters are united in their insistence on addressing the alleged irregularities in the examination processes, highlighting broader issues in India's educational policies.
