India's government faces student-led Cockroach protests sparked by a judge's derogatory remark calling unemployed youth 'cockroaches.' The movement has expanded beyond education system critiques to reflect widespread frustration among young people facing prolonged uncertainty and high unemployment. Authorities have violently suppressed protests, but underlying anger persists.
