Echoes of Students

What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel?

South Asia has emerged in recent years as ground zero of Gen Z protests with India’s neighbouring Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal seeing mass protests and the toppling of unpopular governments.

India has the world’s largest Gen Z cohort, which has been facing unemployment, record-high inequality and religious tensions since 2014, coupled with the country’s slide in multiple democratic indices.

Thousands of protesters, most of them students, are expected to march to India’s Parliament from a protest site in the heart of the national capital to demand the resignations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his education minister.

For nearly a month, supporters of the viral “cockroach” movement have occupied New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar area, India’s most popular protest site, located a couple of kilometres from parliament.

After back-to-back scandals related to examination paper leaks, technical glitches and cancelled tests triggered outrage in the world’s most populous country. This event inspired me to towards the protest site in the support of student.

  3. It’s our social responsibility to stand against injustice, inequality, abuse of fundamental human rights, and religious extremism. You’ve led by example. Great gesture, indeed!

    This is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that highlights the concerns and aspirations of a generation living through rapid social and political change. I appreciate how you connect recent events with broader questions about education, opportunity, and the role of young people in shaping the future.

    What stands out most is your focus on students and the importance of trust in educational systems. Regardless of one’s perspective, issues such as examination integrity, fairness, and equal opportunity deserve careful attention and open dialogue.
