India's education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned Saturday after weeks of youth-led protests over an exam paper leak scandal. The demonstrations, sparked by a chief justice's remark calling students 'cockroaches,' were organized by the satirical Cockroach Janta Party. Protesters celebrated in New Delhi, demanding reforms and compensation for families of students who died by suicide. The resignation marks a major challenge to Prime Minister Modi's BJP government.
