In this episode of Yeh Daagh Daagh Ujala, Harsh Mander talks with Zoya Hasan, Saroj Giri, and Yamini Aiyar about the student protests that have spread across the country this year — and why they're about so much more than the one incident that set them off. The conversation digs into jobless growth, exam scams, and a public education system that's been failing young people for years. What comes through is how this generation is pushing back: with humour, with sharp political language, and with a real insistence on constitutional rights and accountability from the state.
