A mass protest movement in India, led by the youth, has emerged following the outrage over leaked medical entrance exams. This movement is seen as one of the largest challenges to India’s Prime Minister. Those involved have appropriated the name ‘the cockroaches’ in response to a top official’s derogatory comments towards jobless youth.
Producer Zeba Warsi reports on this significant movement where India’s Gen Z courageously confronts a powerful leadership. Field producers Uzair Usmani and Naila Khan contributed to this in-depth report.
Zeba Warsi, who is based in Washington DC, has a strong background in foreign affairs production and is a Columbia Journalism School graduate with a Master’s in Political Journalism. She played a crucial role in the NewsHour team that received a Peabody award in 2024 for coverage on the war in Gaza and Israel.
