#dharmendra pradhan

no, seriously, spread the word. there is so much misinformation out there, partly due to the useless indian media channels who are calling protestors fighting for a chance to be heard "terrorists". they're saying that the protestors are committing brutality (like throwing stones) against the police when it is the opposite.

its a police using teargas and batons against teenagers, women and literal children. they're ripping the clothes of the women. people are badly injured. all because our corrupt coward "education" minister cannot take accountability for paper leak which caused over 20 deaths by suicide.

some are trying to derail the protests, calling the protestors "anti-national" and but you have to do your part in ensuring that this revolution isn't over until dharmendra pradhan resigns and the youth of india are heard and acknowledged. it will save the future of the students who are currently preparing/will prepare for similar exams.

spread the videos of the police brutality (save them if you can), write emails to the pmo, and share as much info as you can about the protest; how and why it is happening. speak up; online and also in real life, translate posts/videos, make your own. correct and educate people who are still against this movement. don't let this die out until our government finally listens to its citizens.

He felt responsible for those people who lost their lives because he wanted to be accountable to his responsibility.

Ek wo din tha aur ek aaj ka din hai.

This cowardly pathetic education minister Dharmendra Pradhan is refusing to resign even after the NEET paper leak, so many deaths of students – that are STILL HAPPENING btw – due to this, and the biggest scientist-reformer of the country is on a hunger strike unto death!?!?!?

and if the neet paper leaked, there was a re-neet exam. people are being emotional for no reason, this was not a big issue at all.

let me respond to your bs as calmly as i can.

1. it's not illegal to gather together somewhere to peacefully protest against something. even if an NOC is not signed, the police have no right to use excess violence. any unlawful, disproportionate and unjustified violence on the protestors is ILLEGAL/not defined under the law. show me ONE clip where the protestors were being violent, not retaliating to the uncalled for violence they were subjected to.

2. 'the police were bound to defend' defend how, exactly? by fixing nails on their sticks to beat students? to tear apart women's clothes, shove their sticks up their private parts, grope them? (most of them were minors btw) to throw tear gasses at them? break their bones? all of which were captured in videos, so don't talk about proofs. moreover, defend WHAT, exactly? the protestors were calm through and through, even after getting beat. they used their voice, slogans but never used any sort of arms.

3. 'this was not a big issue at all' yeah? tell that to the parents of the children who committed suicide. i dare you, look them in the eye and tell them that they're being emotional. i'd like to see you prepare for neet- work your ass off the entire year with little to no social life. imagine grinding the entire year, just for the paper to get leaked and cancelled. some people don't have the privilege of attempting again. for some people, that was their last shot to prove themselves.

the government should've held accountability for the leak, should've held a press conference. they didn't even properly meet the parents of the victims. if they can be so heartless and irresponsible, then I don't see any other option left other than to revolt.

On 20th of July 2026, India witnessed one of the biggest protests in the past decade. Millions of students came together to protest for the resignation of the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

The education ministry has failed the students time and time again. This year's question paper of one of the biggest exams in the entire nation, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), which is conducted for students who wish to pursue medical studies from renowned institution across the country were leaked. This led to National Testing Agency announcing a re-test which led to the suicide of 20 students due to immense stress and anxiety.

Led by Mr. Abhijeet Dipke, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), launched a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, located in Central Delhi on 6th of June 2026. It gained momentum and significance when a renowned scientist, engineer and environmental activist Mr. Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest and went on a hunger strike on 28th of June 2026. On the 20th day of his hunger strike, he was forcibly taken to the police station and detained.

The CJP then launched a parliament march on 20th of July 2026.

The demands were simple: 1) Resignation of the Union Education Minister 2) Compensation of ₹ 1 Crore (≈$ 1,03,803.90) to the parents that lost their children 3) Release of Mr. Wangchuk and all the other protesters that were detained

Millions of students and non-students, which included social media influencers, normal people, kids and the parents of the students who lost their lives, gathered to express their support. But the Union wasn't very pleased by it.

Section 163 under the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was imposed ahead of the march. It explicitly prohibited any gathering of 5 or more individuals. What started as a peaceful protest, soon turned violent when the people that gathered were beaten by the Delhi Police. Many were injured. Women who showed up, including little girls, were groped by the male police officers, some had their clothes ripped and some were even given rape threats. Female police officers weren't any better. They too were stripping clothes of the female protesters and telling them to have shame. Ironic. Expired tear gas shells were thrown which could've led to life-threatening events.

However, the worst part was that none of these police officers wore uniforms with their names on it. CCTV cameras were disabled and so was the internet, leaving people stranded and helpless. The bare minimum of basic human right was stripped away from the hands of the protesters.

People were hospitalised, many with wounds and some with concerning head injuries. Little kids that showed up were also beaten while their parents begged the police to spare them.

This is what happened on 20th, 21st is a whole another story.

I am not asking for anyone's support. The reason why I made this post is because I know my immediate circle on tumblr is diverse and I wish to use it to spread this news to people beyond borders.
