Seven reasons why this massive students’ protest in Delhi is different and has rattled the Modi regime

Key Points

• The students’ protest started as outrage over exam leaks but evolved into a generational revolt against the government's accountability and governance under PM Narendra Modi.
• The movement has transcended initial leadership and is driven by a decentralized, self-mobilized youth grouping rather than any single organization.
• The protest cuts across religion, caste, and region, defying attempts by the Modi regime to demonize dissenting groups based on identity.
• Traditional democratic institutions like the judiciary, media, and parliament have failed to address the protesters' grievances, pushing youth to take to the streets.
• The government’s refusal to engage in dialogue has heightened demands for political accountability, forcing the issue directly to Modi's doorstep.
