Tens of thousands of young protesters poured onto the streets of India's capital New Delhi this week amid an explosion of anger over the country's education system and youth unemployment. The protesters are supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party, which started as an online joke but has quickly become an unexpected challenge to the powerful rightwing government of Narendra Modi.
