Youth-Led Protests Force Indian Education Minister's Resignation

Youth-Led Protests Force Indian Education Minister's Resignation

In India, young students were very upset because the exams they took to get into college were not fair.

They felt the government was not listening to them or fixing the problems.

So, they started big protests all over the country.

These protests were different because they didn't have any leaders and were organized mostly online.

The students used social media and new ways to protest that the government couldn't stop.

After a long time, the education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resigned because of the protests.

This is a big deal because usually, the government doesn't listen to protests like this.

The students are still asking for more changes, like making the exams fair again and helping the families of students who got very sad and hurt themselves because of the exam problems.
