Students Use Art to Protest Paper Leaks
Students in New Delhi are protesting against alleged examination paper leaks using art and satire.
They have turned Jantar Mantar into an open-air gallery with hand-drawn illustrations, quirky costumes, and poetic placards.
One notable piece is a sanitary napkin with the message '...even this pad doesn’t leak,' making a satirical reference to the paper leaks.
Another piece is a recreation of the 'three wise monkeys,' each with a message urging authorities not to ignore, suppress, or remain deaf to students' concerns.
The protest continues after the Cockroach Janata Party's 'Sansad Chalo' march was stopped by police.
