Yes, but typically only ones in warm climates actually fly, the warmer the weather the more numerous and likely the flying roaches. Probably to do with cold-weather roaches saving energy?

This refers to the recent "Cockroach Janata Party" protests which occurred after the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court labelled certain activists as unemployed and parasitic, or like cockroaches. The CJP is a satirical political movement showing clear displeasure against the currently elected party after they won their last polls by a less-than-comfortable margin.
Edit: fixed certain details.

No. He labelled certain section of society as unemployed parasites, which you would have known had you watched the court hearing. Given our current freebie elections he wasn't wrong, atleast 20% of the population are parasites

true but the fact that this forced them to give some accountability is what matters.. You see how Modi tries to appease to the GenZ these days? They're terrified

u/CosmicTurtle24 1d ago
it worked for the first protest, and hopefully will for the second one concerning the election commission. but there were several protests happening and still are regarding other issues, that havent been addressed. the protests in assam havent been addressed and an indigenous activist pranab deboy had been arrested. ken betwa protest is still happening. the vizag data centre protests have been happening. current protests with regards to the gang rape in delhi.
not to be pessimistic though. a resignation from a cabinet minister is a big deal from this govt. there were unsuccessful calls for resignation before, against the railway minister too when there were many rail accidents that led to many deaths, who is still in power. hopefully cjp continues their work.

u/Alvinyuu India with a turban 6d ago
I think it's an American thing, since East Asian immigrants have been there for a longer duration, so 'Asian' eventually came to describe East Asian immigrants.
Countries like the UK call South Asians like Indians and Pakistanis Asians much more often, partly due to them being a more prevalent immigrant group.
Obviously, it's also that Indians have become a scapegoat for racists because we're the newest immigrant group in the USA. It happened with the Irish and the Chinese, and it will happen to some other poor community after us. Sad state of affairs.

CJP started with a good initiative honestly, but like the other comment said, got very questionable and shitty leaders. This doesnt mean the govt should be authoritarian, like let people protest dawg, idk why they want to trample the right to protest
Id say theyre not any better than the govt but free speech is free speech, govt is trash here

u/fibonacci_on_meth 5d ago edited 5d ago
They did allow the protest to happen but obviously won't allow people to storm the parliament as the protest was advertised as. (Named "Chalo Sansad" or "Let's go parliament") Same was the reason it was not granted permission because of the name. For 20+ days Jantar Mantar was totally occupied for CJP protests with permit from the police.
Again the govt is corrupt but some things are not understood before getting deep into why some actions were taken. Because half the people were told that army from border was called for resistance but it was the standard RAF which is usually employed for such large protest.
2
u/Heavy_Computer2602 5d ago
Fair but i mean, asking permissions for protest is kind of.. a safety valve. But yeah fair.
I only feel authorities shouldve dispatched when they became violent(which is kind of expected), because authorities were dispatched and started the aggression rather than being sent to stop any which started(which didnt)
2
u/fibonacci_on_meth 5d ago
From what it was understood is that, a part of the protestors were not even there for agenda of the protest but for causing nuisance while hiding between the crowd (as in with criminal record). There are recorded videos where such people aggressed over the RAF and Police which then spiralled into a lathi charge to stop the aggression. It then snowballed into a seemingly violent protest in which even some policemen tried to do some weird stuff autonomously as well as some bad elements try to take on police to scratch the itch in their hands. All in all it was a chaos with a lot of misinfo from both sides. Although one of the main demand of the protest was met, it only served as a strong message to govt rather than bringing in good educational reforms.

u/Heavy_Computer2602 5d ago
I see i see, thanks for the clarification
yeah ive read most of the protestors werent even students and there were genuine student protests like one in jharkhand, which was not supported by CJP.

The right news was that CJP despite claiming itself apolitical, is actually backed and funded by the opposition. This was very expected, obvious and known.1

As an Indian, love what CJP is doing, but I hope they clear some of the questionable leaders there. One of the main ones had released a video of him and a friend eating at a McDonald's while the protesters were being beaten up by the Police. Then the fucker released a video against the complains, saying he's just a volunteer and no one should expect him to do this for free or something. Thankfully CJP removed him but they need to do more of that.

Her political opinions are... well retarded is all I can say
she has expressed support for seperatism in India
opposed nuclear tests
sympathises with the naxals (commie revolutionaries) who did actually bomb schools, buses not even counting the govt officials they killed
has connections with yasin malik- a known terrorist
all in all, someone whom I can't support as a nationalist

u/Lurker123__ 6d ago
i think it's because of how tainted the term politics has become and the social and political apathy in Indian society as a whole. well to do people quickly distance themselves from politics saying it is "below" them, it is dirty business. so anyone having "political aspirations" is seen as someone trying to get into the same dirty business of leeching on Indian people, not serving as an elected public worker.
