I am proud of the fact that our nation has raised such prestigious institutions worth giving and fighting for through their entrance exams.

This isn’t just a system failure — it’s a moral crisis. Paper leaks don’t just ruin an academic year; they distort our value system and give our youth the wrong life learning that dishonesty pays off.

Intent vs. Method: Changing the exam format won’t stop cheating. The problem isn’t the testing process — it’s human intent. A corrupt mindset will exploit any system.

The Need for Accountability: This is exactly why moral responsibility at the top is crucial. If the machinery fails under their watch, the ‘chaukidaar’ must take accountability and resign. Resignation creates fear and accountability in those who have power.

The Real Solution: Sustainable reform requires both inner integrity from individuals and absolute accountability from our leadership.

History warns us — the Roman Empire fell largely due to the lack of trust and only a few people reaching the top. People eventually lost faith in the meritocracy-based system. We cannot let that happen here.

Remember, Anna Hazare’s protest also led to the fall of a corrupt government.

That said, as a clarification on why this protest (Cockroach Janta Party with Sonam Wangchuk) has stumbled compared to Anna’s:

The success of any protest movement depends on the 4Ms + Sequence.

• Messenger: The credibility and nature of the leader.
• Message: The clarity and purpose of the communication.
• Mechanics: The mediums used to reach the public (media, social media, civil society).
• Missionaries: The dedication and strategy of the volunteers.

Anna Hazare’s Movement mastered all 4Ms with strong sequencing (leader first on moral foundation). It gained massive national support and forced the government to negotiate under huge pressure.

Our current movement has structurally and somewhat failed the 4Ms. It had a confusing message by fusing NEET/entrance exam issues with Ladakh statehood, heavy reliance on social media without enough traditional media or civil society support, and reversed sequencing (movement before leader). This weakened its impact due to the human brain’s primacy effect.

Additionally, certain people, dialogues, and events (including sharing the stage with politicians) reduced the movement’s credibility.

As of now, the protest looks somewhat unsuccessful and hasn’t achieved its key political goal like the resignation of the Education Minister.

Still, the core cause remains just and important. We should continue supporting the demand for accountability and clean exams while ensuring the movement stays ethical, focused, and free from political contamination.

What are your thoughts?

From the depths of my heart to Sonam Sir:

We are just cockroaches, we will be crushed like this;

We will not get justice, nor compensation, nor even tribute.

Even if we write a book, it is not certain that we will get a job;

Even if we get it, it is not known what we will be able to do.

We will continue to be buried under corruption, if we ever try to rise, we will be crushed like this again.

But Sir, you are that stone whose strength can even make a diamond dizzy, whose light makes even God say, if we had something like this, why would we even need salvation.

Sir, what you have given to this country is invaluable, what worth are we children in front of your wisdom.

Your presence is as important to this country as having a blanket in the cold. What you're doing is for us, because back then, we didn't have the courage to confront the government on the streets, instead of on social media pages. Now, we have that courage. You're the one who took action for us first. What you're doing was our responsibility, which we didn't. But now, you don't need to suffer any more. Now that our Gen Z has awakened, even God will have to kneel. The protests won't stop, but even if we win, the pain of that victory without you will be worse than losing. It's been 25 days since you ate anything. Rats must be eating all kinds of dishes in their burrows. Which leader thinks about others? Please, please, free us from this debt. This is our problem, and we will solve it. Jai Hind 🙏🏻

Stay peaceful. Look after people around you. If someone needs medical help, help them reach safety.

I want to preface by saying that I don't live in India anymore but I'm deeply moved by what you guys are doing. It's crazy that the things you're protesting for are just basic human rights which we take for granted in Canada that you have to suffer so much for it. Death of even 1 student should automatically become the most important issue in the country but it's a shame that it's taking a protest to barely acknowledge death of 27.

We already have hunger strike going for us, I think our next step should be to adopt another Gandhian weapon, 'boycott'. There are so many celebrities (and businesses) in the India have so much influence but all they do is stay silent because they're cowards and are probably afraid of losing favour with this government.

Let's show them that there will be consequences of not siding with the students also. I request you guys to start identifying the celebrities and artists who you follow who have stayed silent, start boycotting them. I believe we have the numbers, if we can take CJP page to 22M followers then we can also reduce the followers of others also and make real financial difference to them. In effect those only concerned with public opinion might switch their stance and the movement will grow, and even if that doesn't happen atleast we dealt them a punch for being spineless, they should remember this.

Best part is that this can be done by everyone and from home. Please spread the word.

Edit: Pls if someone makes reels and has even some following pls spread this message.

I recently read this analysis by Ember:

https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/bottleneck-to-the-next-phase-of-renewable-energy-growth-in-india/

This post summarizes my understanding of it.

Are you concerned about climate change and how it will affect India? Do you believe India simply needs to generate more solar electricity? If yes, you must read this post and the above analysis.

Over the past year, a new obstacle has emerged in India’s renewable-energy transition. India curtailed around 2.1 TWh of renewable electricity in FY 2025–26, worth approximately ₹629 crore.

Why would a country waste clean electricity?

The electricity grid is the network that carries power from generators to consumers. The electricity entering the grid must roughly equal the electricity being used. In simple terms, supply must match demand.

Solar complicates this balance because its generation is volatile. It produces heavily during daylight hours and nothing at night. Coal plants, meanwhile, cannot instantly switch off when solar generation rises. They have a minimum technical load ( MTL), below which they cannot safely reduce output. Restarting a coal plant can take hours or even days and is more polluting. India’s current MTL for coal plants is 55%. So, if a coal plant can produce a maximum of 1,000 units, it may not be able to reduce its generation below 550 units. 

Suppose the grid needs 100 units of electricity. Solar is producing 60 units, while coal plants are already operating at their minimum output of 55 units. Total generation is now 115 units. Since coal cannot be reduced further, in this case, at least 15 units of solar power must be switched off. When we curtail renewable electricity, we are wasting clean electricity that is available, not because there is no demand, but because the coal plants have a technical limit.

This is why simply installing more solar is not enough. If new solar panels generate electricity when existing solar power is already being discarded, we have not solved the immediate problem. Reducing curtailment and improving grid flexibility should come before blindly adding more solar capacity.

Battery storage offers a solution. Batteries can charge when excess solar power is available and discharge after sunset, when electricity is needed more urgently. However, Ember’s analysis argues that India’s regulations prevent batteries from operating efficiently. Under the General Network Access (framework governing transmission access), BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) projects seeking access during non-solar hours must provide at least 2 hours of storage and build a “commensurate” renewable plant from which to charge. The 2-hour requirement is not the problem. The second condition is.

Imagine a battery tied to one solar farm. That farm may have no surplus electricity, while another solar plant elsewhere is being ordered to shut down. The battery remains empty even though clean electricity is being wasted on the wider grid. The author’s proposal is simple: allow batteries to charge from the grid whenever transmission lines have spare capacity, and restrict them only where charging would genuinely overload the network.

Adding solar panels without building the storage, grid flexibility, and regulations needed to use that electricity is not serious climate policy. People who genuinely care about climate change must educate themselves about these challenges. Slogans are easy. Understanding the roadblocks and nuances will help us make better demands! We must make more educated demands!

At some point we need to take responsibility ourselves.

People these days have become so entitled. Minister starts being judged by the performance of their department? Seriously? Do you want the education Minister to guard every paper himself? Do you want the Road Transport and Highways minister to build every damn road and bridge himself? The Road Transport and Highways minister is already balancing two departments! You're an anti-national for going against someone as hard working as him.

Why should ministers be held accountable for the ministries they run? How do you know the ministers did it? This generation is doomed.

Paper leaks? Pakistan did it to cause unrest, do you have any idea?

Bridges collapsing? How will they make new ones if the old ones don't collapse?

Inflation? You guys eat too much.

Unemployment? Just sell pakoda or become an entrepreneur.

Pollution? Just wear masks bro, it's that simple. You guys don't plant trees and blame the govt for pollution.

Ethanol Blending? Use bicycle, you dammit! It'll save the earth from pollution too. Definitely a good move by the government to stop people from using petrol/diesel based vehicles.

I request you guys to stop protesting for the things you don't deserve. Before blaming me or the government, please wait for Dhurandhar 3 for answers.

And it's not just about bjp, it's about any political party, it's about any organization that becomes way too comfortable being the dominant player in any field., for way too long. Look what happens on the company levels, when a single company holds the majority market share, then they dictates the prices and offer as little as they can get away with it in return, because they know that there's no competition and consumers have no choice, healthy competition keeps them in check and make sure they keep improving and offering better products to benefit the customers. By this competition, which is to remind that the dominant player, the industry leader that their position is an uncertain one and at any time, the completion can take over. This is how you keep them in check.

That same scenario needs to happen in the political arena too. The dominant political party needs to remined that they too can be removed from their position and others will take their position if they get too comfortable and arrogant. Even if the opposition is weak or incompetent, the point is they can overthrown from their positions. That keeps them from getting out of control.

And I know you can vote them out, but that isn't effective way to do so, because there's many ways to get people to vote for them. While shopping, you spend way more than than you initially decided to spend, because you got caught up in the moment, that kind of similar scenario does apply to when people decide who to vote for, because of heavy political spending and advertising and buying people, specially influencers because that's how majority of people get their knowledge and then decide who to vote for. As their favorite influencer is x party supporter, hence they will too will vote for x.

So I think this protest is great opportunity to remind people in power that can't get away from doing whatever they like and their powerful position is uncertain and can be taken away from them, that's a great way to keep political leaders in check.

The government of India is hiding behind the guise of wanting you to learn more about Indian history, and to learn about India, but is it truly what you should be doing?
The most recent news about school curriculum shows that in certain states, international languages have been cut from the syllabus, french and russian revolutions are being replaced by vedic india.
It's all a shield, learning a language as useless as Sanskrit is going to do nothing but make you a rat trapped in countries where English is spoken, most of which have similar regimes as the Indian government does, authoritarianism. 
French and Russian revolutions show the struggles of service workers against a regime that did nothing but favour those who exploited them.
And if the government truly wanted you to learn more about indian culture why hide sculptures in the name of modesty, which isn't even a true indian concept, Modesty is one of the biggest contributors to rape culture. The dancing girl statue is taught to maybe 10% of the student body, when they are 16, post puberty, post learning about reproduction. Is one statue with no sexual intention, going to ruin their minds?
Let's be honest, they want to blind you to what they are doing, hiding behind religion is the same thing Hitler did too. Hindu vs Muslim, Christians vs Jews. Same game, different players. 
 When the leaders of a nation are being cruel, committing atrocities, stripping people of their rights, the officers of the law are still required to follow the constitution, they cannot fall into the trap of Orders and Directions, because at what point will your orders become fatal? At what point will you realise that following orders shouldn't mean taking lives, it shouldn't mean hurting children, it shouldn't mean you lose all sense of morality for a Job.

We are at the point where the people who support the government are the parents of those children who are dying because of it, and sure maybe it hasn't happened yet, but when will you speak up? When they come to your door and ask you whether or not your child believes in justice, when they come into your house and beat your child instead of beating peaceful protestors on the street? 

It may be the system, but that doesn't mean it's right, if a water filtration system was full of fecal matter you would throw it out, let's throw out this system and the shit along with it.
