@pbsnews: Why are tens of thousands of young Indians suddenly calling themselves "cockroaches," taking to the streets to protest despite a government crackdown? What began as outrage over leaked national entrance exams has exploded into one of India's biggest youth-led protest movements in years. It's a direct challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PBS News' Zeba Warsi takes a look at why young Indians are protesting and what they want to see happen. #pbsnewshour #newshour #pbsnews #news #india #cockroach #protest #worldnews #cjp #cockroachjanataparty #genz #narendramodi

Bada** 🖤 the term “suffragette” was also originally a slur the women in London who embraced its name & continued pressing for the right to vote set a precedent which allowed women in the U.S. to gain the right to vote shortly after.

cheating on exams in China and India are big issues as it's so competitive to get into universities and to graduate to get jobs
