Student protests across India have expanded into a nationwide movement following widespread reports of exam paper leaks. The Guardian and BBC frame this as an unprecedented youth mobilization, while Al Jazeera highlights the tactical conclusion of activist Sonam Wangchuk’s 26-day hunger strike.

Whether this movement shifts government policy or remains a localized protest remains the central, unresolved question.
