What started as a brutal remark from the Chief Justice turned into a full-blown movement: the Cockroach Janta Party. Thousands took to the streets, demanding jobs, not abuse. The government blinked; and the Education Minister resigned. But the crisis didn’t vanish. India has 367 million young people; that’s more than Europe’s entire population. Yet half of new jobs are in farming, and 75% work in informal, unstable gigs. Top-tier colleges like IITs shine; but village schools? Many kids still can’t read or write. The system feeds talent at the top, but forgets the base. As AI reshapes work, who will absorb the millions graduating each year? This isn’t just about pride; it’s about survival. And if the government doesn’t fix the pipeline, the pressure will only grow louder. The cockroaches aren’t going away. They’re organizing.
