In the heart of India's capital, a protest born from the grief of students who lost futures — and some, their lives — to an alleged examination scandal has reached a volatile crossroads. Demonstrators gathered near Parliament, activists on hunger strike, and opposition lawmakers draped in black have together forced a reckoning that neither the street nor the chamber can resolve alone. The NEET paper leak crisis is no longer merely about an exam; it has become a test of whether a democracy can hear its youngest citizens before the cost of silence grows unbearable.
