CJP protests reveal India's Gen Z shift on merit

Thousands of young Indians protested in Delhi after the alleged NEET exam paper leak, leading to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demonstrations reflect a deeper generational anxiety about merit and fairness, echoing global youth movements. Analysts warn that such protests, while starting with legitimate grievances, often evolve into broader political contests, as seen in past movements like Anna Hazare's anti-corruption campaign.
