Can you give us a quick sort of prehistory of, you know, what was building for years? What was the sort of the pressure, the tension that was building up in the system, in the education system, that in some ways this protest, this movement, this political party that has come out of it, results from that pressure, from that five-year buildup, as you've been saying?

Susan Ann SamuelGUEST
So it's a political satire movement where the young people came together for demanding something, right? So as a young person myself, you know, anyone who is age 35 and below, that's the heart of India, if you can see.

Susan Ann SamuelGUEST
And what that has been happening for years was also kind of like back home we used to say we were put in a pressure cooker in the sense like we get into this whole gist of like we need to write the exams we need to climb the ladder we need to achieve something Maybe that's the only way out for towards an employment, also a way out from the miseries of the whatever common people face at the pretext of inflation or the pretext of like, you know, geopolitical instabilities that affect India.

Susan Ann SamuelGUEST
and many sorts of things and the only way out is through education and that too by cracking exams.

I don't know power in a sense behind them and there's something happening Do you think this will sort of Peter out now that the demands were met or do you think? This CJP will sort of evolve into something else going forward
