The Cockroach Effect: Unpacking India's Growing Rebellion Against Modi's Education Policies The murder of 51 year old Mohammad Mafik, father of Abdul Hafeez, a young activist from West Bengal, has brought to light the tensions between India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a grassroots movement demanding accountability in government run schools.
This is not just a localized issue; it marks a new phase in the country's struggle for education reform.
The CJP has been auditing conditions at government schools across India, setting off a chain reaction as local BJP leaders label activists "outsiders" and warn against photographing or video recording school premises.
