The recent student-led uprising in India received international attention and forced concessions from the Modi government which was long seen as having few formidable political challengers at the national level. The movement has put a dent on the notion that the corporate-BJP nexus in India is infallible. Left student movements played a significant role in the success of the satirical 'Cockroach Janata Party' movement. We discuss the context of the movement, and touch upon various dimensions of the movement including the role of the media - both local and global. Is this a moment of hope for India?  This episode’s co-hosts Josephine, Oscar, Sneha Timestamps 0:00 Opening / Introductions 0:56 Indian Political Anxiety 8:14 Wellington Protest 12:48 Background 25:50 Demands 36:40 Expanding Indian Medical Education 43:13 Media 50:40 Social Media 59:52 Land Reforms 1:05:05 Takeaways 1:20:50 Closings Intro/Outro by Jiahu Symbols Support us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
