| Deutsche Welle | INDIA: STUDENT ANGER OVER ALLEGED EXAM ISSUES SPREADS TO JHARKHAND | 1 hr ago |
Students in India's eastern state of Jharkhand are protesting, demanding transparency and a probe into alleged irregularities in civil service recruitment exams, according to Deutsche Welle. The protests appear to be inspired by the 'Cockroach movement'. The demonstrations have seen young people marching on the state assembly to express their grievances.
The situation has escalated to the point where police have fired tear gas at protesters, as reported by BBC News. Additionally, the pressure of leaked exam papers and resits has been linked to students taking their own lives, with parents sharing their stories, as noted by The Guardian.
The protests highlight concerns over the fairness and integrity of the exam system in India, with students seeking reforms to address alleged irregularities.
