India's Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan, has resigned following weeks of intense demonstrations by the "Cockroach" movement. This resignation marks the first major concession fromL by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The protests, characterized by sit-ins and hunger strikes, were sparked by exam fraud in medical admissions and calls for systemic education reform. The movement is led by 30-year-old Abhijeet Dipke, who returned from the United States to lead the cause. The group adopted the name "Cockroaches" after a judge used the term to describe unemployed youth activists and journalists as parasites. The announcement of the resignation sparked celebrations among thousands of demonstrators in New Delhi. Meanwhile, authorities attempted to control the unrest by shutting down the internet and restricting access to several metro stations.
