'It Felt Wonderful to Be Indian': Cockroaches Celebrate Hard Won Victory, Vow to Keep Fighting The sudden resignation of India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on July 25 sent shockwaves through the country, particularly among young people who have been at the forefront of student protests demanding reforms in the education sector.
The dramatic turn of events was met with jubilation and celebration by supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth led movement that had been camping out in New Delhi's Jantar Mantar for over five weeks.
The CJP's hard won victory is being hailed as a triumph for democracy, marking one of the rare instances where the Modi government has been forced to concede to protesters' demands.
