India's "Cockroach Party" Has 20 Million Followers. Can It Start a Gen Z Revolution?

A satirically named youth group born from India's exam scandal crisis has amassed 20 million social media followers in weeks and is now staging protests in major cities across the country.

The Cockroach Janta Party is channeling something real: India's graduate unemployment rate has been stuck between 35% and 40% for four decades, and two million students just had their medical school exam results nullified after a leak.

Why the CJP is struggling to convert followers into street protesters

How caste quotas, ethnic diversity, and decentralized politics fragment youth mobilization

What the mass sit-in in New Delhi could signal about the movement's staying power

How the Iran war's economic spillover could give the CJP the fuel it's been missing

The stakes are enormous: Delhi Police is already drafting contingency plans for a Bangladesh-style youth uprising.

The BJP is painting the CJP as a foreign-backed operation. And the founder just got slapped at a rally in Jaipur — and went straight to social media to say he won't stop.

Modi's government is watching this very carefully.
