Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Hunger Strike Intensifies Pressure on India Over Exam Leak Scandal
Caption: Hunger Strike Intensifies Pressure on India Over Exam Leak Scandal. Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk has continued his hunger strike as part of a growing campaign calling for reforms to the country's education system and greater government accountability. Wangchuk joined student-led protesters who accuse authorities of failing to prevent repeated exam paper leaks that have undermined confidence in major competitive tests. The demonstrations have been organized under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party, a movement that reclaimed the term "cockroach" after it was used as a derogatory label. As Wangchuk's fast entered its latest phase, supporters gathered in New Delhi to demand action from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. A Delhi court has instructed local authorities to monitor the activist's health closely and intervene if medical professionals determine his condition becomes critical. Organizers say Wangchuk's hunger strike has helped draw national attention to concerns over youth unemployment, education policy and government accountability. Despite growing public support, the government has yet to respond directly to the movement's key demands or signal plans for major reforms.
