The CJP protest began with exam paper leaks. It became India's biggest student movement in years, why? It began with a fear familiar to millions of young Indians, if the examinations that find out their future cannot be trusted, what can? The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement born out of anger over repeated examination paper leaks, has quickly become India's biggest student mobilisation in years. At its centre is activist Sonam Wangchuk, who says he lost 11kg (24lb) during a 26-day hunger strike in support of the movement. He ended his fast late on Thursday, but student leaders say the protests will continue until their demands are met. The obvious question is whether this is simply another student protest, or the beginning of something larger. Student movements have periodically transformed Indian politics.
