India’s Youth ‘Cockroach’ Movement Challenges Modi

The 'Cockroach' movement, named for its resilience, has been organized by young activists across India who seek to hold Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for his government's policies. The initiative began as a grassroots effort among students and young professionals, quickly spreading through social media channels and local community groups. Protests and online campaigns have featured slogans calling for greater transparency and democratic participation. Media coverage of the movement has amplified its message, prompting responses from political commentators and prompting the government to address some of the concerns raised by the youth.
