Cockroach Movement Defies Police Crackdown | Toronto News
About this episode
The episode discusses the Cockroach movement's protests in New Delhi against education corruption and police violence.
Hundreds of young protesters, calling themselves the “Cockroach” movement, are defiantly holding their ground in New Delhi, demanding the education minister’s resignation over rampant exam leaks and job corruption. What began as an online joke has morphed into a powerful youth-led campaign. Police responded with tear gas and batons, injuring nearly 180 people in violent clashes as thousands marched toward parliament — footage of the chaos has ignited public outrage. Despite a government minister’s attempt at dialogue, protesters remain unmoved, insisting on concrete reforms and the minister’s removal. Human rights groups condemn the crackdown as an assault on peaceful dissent, turning this movement into a major test of India’s tolerance for public dissent and state force.
