India's youth-led protests show no signs of abating, with demonstrators facing police water cannons in Patna while demanding reforms to civil service entrance exams. Similar clashes have erupted in Jharkhand. The Cockroach Janta Party (C.

J. P.), which forced the resignation of India's education minister after declaring victory, threatens to restart protests after accusing the government of failing to honor promises made on July 25. Only 8 percent of college graduates find jobs using their degrees, fueling nationwide disillusionment.

The government promised compensation for students who died after exam leaks and discussions on education reforms, but protesters claim criminal cases persist and reforms stalled. On September 5, India's Teachers' Day, C. J.

P. plans a march from India Gate to police headquarters, risking confrontation with security forces who previously used pellets, batons, and tear gas. The protests, which began as satire, reached a high point when C. J.

P. ousted the education minister and secured commitments from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, but doubts over sincerity have sparked renewed defiance.
