Really good omens in really hard times.
Modi is India's trump, in racism, corruption, hatred as the organising force, powerful billionaire and corporate backed leader of the worlds largest democracy. All the papers and TV burping his message.
But a new generation has erupted, mockingly calling themselves the "cockroach party."
In weeks they have grown larger than Modi's party online, forced a Minister to resign and helped defeat Modi in a stronghold by election.

#Irony? #GenZ #cockroach movement has challenged #authoritarianism in #India, yet GenZ in U.S. is dormant. Why? Can we at least expect some anti - #fascist #protests on campus in the Fall? My take here https://nkozphoto.com/index.php/2025/06/11/anti-trump-protests-where-is-gen-z/ #politics #trump

This is a little different than what we usually cover. It's about the resilience of cockroaches.
On 23 July, India's Cyber Crime Coordination Centre sent GitHub an order to disable three repositories: the Bitchat project, its Android build, and its release files. Three hours to comply. The notice was timestamped 11:16pm.
It names no illegal post and no unlawful message. Its stated objection is architectural: Bitchat works during network restrictions and internet shutdowns, which hampers lawful interception and traceability.
Context: authorities had asked carriers to cut mobile data around the protests in New Delhi. People switched to Bitchat and Briar. Between 17 and 23 July, India accounted for about 85% of Bitchat's global downloads, against roughly 1% the previous month.
The repositories are still up. GitHub's public archive of government takedown requests lists nothing about Bitchat.
Raman Chima of the Association for Progressive Communications drew out what makes this different: the government is "not just targeting the designated service provider, but they're trying to say that open source development of this type of product should not occur."
We also connect this story to two other stories from the same few weeks: a queer bar in San Francisco whose Instagram was suspended over false reports, and GrapheneOS, which pulled its infrastructure out of France after a prosecutor raised the possibility of charging its publishers.
Account, then network, then source code, then the operating system itself. Each step down the stack, fewer people can route around it.

In 2024, a protest led by young people over job quotas ousted Bangladesh’s longtime ruler. In 2025, a social media ban and anger over “nepo kids” sparked youth-led demonstrations that resulted in the resignation of the prime minister of Nepal. Now, India’s education minister is out of his job in the wake of unrest over his disparaging comments about young unemployed people. @npr takes a look at how Gen Z is flexing its political muscle to take on the elite in South Asia.

Something everyone of every country needs to learn (many know, many don't):
You fight for something, you win
You sit there, in inert whiny #cynicism and fragile impotent #perfectionism: you aid malice in your #learnedHelplessness. You've been psychologically conditioned
Especially you, lazy entitled Americans

“ #India’s education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, has resigned after a week of mass demonstrations over leaked exam papers, handing a major victory to a new youth movement - called the #Cockroach Revolution- that has posed an unprecedented challenge to Narendra #Modi’s government.

This is not a #cockroach … but what a shitshow by the government back home in #india against the alleged cockroaches.
Let history record the fact that a revolution was instigated when a chief justice allegedly told during a press conference that the unemployed youth of the country are like “cockroaches”! Power be with the #cockroaches!

A #cockroach eats a #burger at a hunger strike. The #media goes after him. Meanwhile, a #government is eating the whole of #India. But the same media has no time to look into that matter!
What a pathetic fall from grace, Indian #NewsMedia!

"Sometimes the biggest shift in a society is not a new law or policy, but a change in how people interpret their own experience. Problems once understood as personal failure begin to look like shared conditions.
The cockroaches, it seems, are starting to count themselves." 🔥🔥🔥

#GoI: By adopting #cockroach as their moniker, the #GenZ is saying that even your insult is a badge of honor for them. You've failed your employers! After more than a decade of your manipulations, they no longer resonate with you. Blaming them for your #policy_failures is just petty #cowardice.
The opposition should take note too. They wouldn't be at Jantar Mantar if you hadn't failed in your duty to keep the govt accountable.

USDA recommends sodium fluoride for killing cockroaches, because it acts as both a stomach poison and contact poison. That was in 1931. Today, people put it in their mouths while brushing their teeth and drink it in their water.
