after weeks of protests, hundreds detained, thousands injured, I am proud to finally say WE DID IT!!! THE INDIAN EDUCATION MINISTER HAS BEEN SACKED!

Just the first step in hopefully a long journey of reformation but you need to understand after a decade of Modi's dictator-esque regime we have finally seen some semblance of hope

Turns out I'm not as avoidant as the Indian government.

also, um.. this is a request from me to my fellow Indians who have been a part of this fuckass education system since the dawn of time. if you're reading this and are in, or are going to be in, Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, or anywhere nearby, please please please join the march at Jantar Mantar on 20th july.

this is obviously a personal request from me, and I would really appreciate it if you went. I really wish I could be there, but unfortunately I can't because I live on the other side of the country.

please don't let that man's sacrifice go in vain. please don't let him die. if he dies, we all do.

if you're attending a protest, no matter how big or small, you must also keep in mind your own safety. dont go all alone, make sure you bring a friend or two, as well as keep your location shared constantly to a few people you trust. keep masks or scarves with you, sunglasses/protective eyewear, a cap, all this would probably benefit you in keeping your identity hidden. they would also be useful in case the police decides to use tear gas(i think water is more likely, but you should still be careful), and please don't try to aura farm by grabbing a tear gas bomb and throwing it in the police's direction, the bombs may be small, but they are extremely hot and will probably cause serious burns immediately upon contact.

keep some water with you, if youre a woman i would say you keep it in a steel thermos/heavy water bottle, because it can be used in self defense but it won't actually be classified as a "weapon"(speaking of which, maybe dont take any sort of pocket knives or smth, if your body is searched and they find that it will be confiscated im like 70% sure) keep ORS sachets and a small snack as well. maybe some medicine as well(?) but dont take too much stuff, or too many devices, you should always assume that you and your belongings can be searched and confiscated by the police!!!

additionally, if you're not allowed to join any protests/you're too far away, you can still send a physical letter, or an email, addressed to the Union Minister Of Education, Government Of India, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.

email id :; [email protected]

postal address :; To, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon'able Union Minister Of Education, Government Of India, Room no. 21107, Kartavya Bhawan 2, Central Secretariat, New Dehli, 110001, India

online petitions :; the official cockroach janta party website features 2 petitions you can sign, one is to support Sonam Wangchuk's demands (resignation of the Minister of Education, and ₹ 1,00,00,000 compensation to families who lost their children by suicide amid the NEET UG 2026 paper leak crisis) with about 44.5k signatures as of now. the second petition is a separate one solely regarding the sacking of the education minister, with over 8.19 lakh signatures. LINK

The fact that you can't send food to the protest site anymore is baffling. Everything's 'unserviceable'. People who are helping, taking donations, their accounts are getting frozen. But yes please go on and tell me that this is a goddamn democracy. Fascists.

fuckthisshit-ugh

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

enigma-the-mysterious

Shame on every single person out there who is not speaking up about what is happening in the country at the moment. Its not about what political party you support, what your ideologies are. It's about sheer accountability that's lacking from people in power. This country is supposed to be the largest democracy in the world. Is this democracy? Beating protesters (PEACEFUL PROTESTERS) with batons, using tear gas and then have the audacity to go on social media and say that no use of violence was made? Officer going on camera, claiming that no brutality took place when there are thousands of clips that prove otherwise? When a 12 year old girl's head was bashed. When another one is in the hospital in a critical condition? Hell, 20 students took their own lives because the SYSTEM failed to do its job. This supposed education minister uses ChatGPT to write his goddamn tweets. No ounce of shame and then they go and say that it's everybody's responsibility to prevent the exam papers from leaking? Are you kidding me? Zero shame. Zero accountability. Zero regards for BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS granted by the constitution they claim to respect.

They were right when they said: Anpadh. Jahil. Gawaar. Illiterate. Ignorant. Boorish.

Anti nationals will call this man a Pakistani agent too

Save the country from the bjp fanatics

godwhathave-i-done

Is the country really a democracy if the government is perfectly fine with letting people be starved to death just so that they dont have to take accountability for their mistakes

They dont take accountability for their infrastructure, their fucking useless legal system, the social issues present here, the poverty, the inequality and the corrupt system and yet people still worship them

Open your fucking eyes

They dont care about you, they dont care about the people, they dont care about the country, they dont care about the constitution and they dont care about one of the most renowned scientists dying because of their silence

Yet the people are busy fighting each other instead of looking at the common enemy

The way my instagram and twitter are filled with Haaland and Jude 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
