The Message from Jantar Mantar

Summary. Editor's Note In India, thousands of cockroaches have shaken the foundations of once-invincible Modi government's strong rule, as their wider campaign for educational reforms and accountability, transparency and justice in the education system has remained largely successful. To many observers, the protests by CJP are another chapter in India's political history and their success depicts a profound shift in how India's youngest generation understands politics, institutions and the social contract itself. The CJP protests will eventually disappear from the headlines. What will remain is what they revealed about this generation. Governments that recognize this transformation will shape the politics of the coming decade.
