India Protest: Modi's Refusal to Sack Education Minister Fits a Pattern

The protests, led by India's youth-led 'cockroach' movement, have been ongoing for over a month in New Delhi. The protesters demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over a series of examination paper leaks. The protests have been marked by police violence, with over 100 people severely wounded in baton and tear gas attacks on Monday. The protests represent the biggest public challenge to Hindu nationalism in India. The movement has been gaining momentum, with thousands of supporters camping in the capital. The government's refusal to sack Pradhan has been seen as a pattern of inaction in the face of public outcry.
