The Cockroach People's Party (CJP), a Gen Z-led movement in India, is staging protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. What began as a satirical venture has evolved into a serious effort to demand change and challenge Prime Minister Modi over issues including exam leaks.

Coverage from NBC News, BBC, and Al Jazeera emphasizes the defiance of these protesters, noting that some have faced tear gas. The Guardian and NPR highlight the movement's shift from satire to political action, while The Indian Express describes the protests as a reckoning for apolitical Indians.
