Young Protesters in Delhi Criticize Modi's Handling of Protests

A wave of anger among young protesters in Delhi has shifted its focus from demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to directly targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The protest, initially sparked by the hunger strike of educator-activist Sonam Wangchuk and demands for better management of competitive exams, escalated after police forcibly removed Wangchuk from the Jantar Mantar site.This incident galvanized thousands of protesters, leading to widespread condemnation of Modi's leadership.

Slogans like 'Modi teri tanashahi nahi chalegi' (Modi's dictatorship is not acceptable) and accusations of him being a 'vote thief' reflect deepening frustration.Protesters argue that the government has treated them as colonial subjects, citing harsh police actions against both Wangchuk and previous protests.While some initially focused on education reforms, the movement now highlights systemic issues under Modi's rule.The protest also saw participation from diverse Hindu communities, marking a departure from earlier movements led by Muslims and Sikhs.Despite risks of arrest, protesters emphasize their commitment to defending democracy and demanding accountability.
