## Resource

Activist Sonam Wangchuk, on a 20-day hunger strike demanding education reform in India, was hospitalized after a medical emergency — sparking outrage as police moved him under court order amid protests. The “Cockroach Party,” a viral youth movement born from a Supreme Court judge’s insult turned symbol of resilience, now accuses authorities of kidnapping Wangchuk. In solidarity, founder Abhijeet Dipke has launched his own hunger strike, accusing police of brutality. With plans to march on Parliament, authorities have ramped up security at Jantar Mantar, calling it a precaution — while the movement’s demands for exam system overhaul and compensation for exam leak victims grow louder.
