India's "Cockroach" Youth Movement Agrees to Talks but Keeps Protests Going

Leaders of India's youth-led "Cockroach" movement met government officials in New Delhi to discuss the country's education system, but vowed to continue protests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended a mobile internet shutdown in the capital amid his biggest youth-led challenge since taking office in 2014. Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended a 26-day hunger strike shortly before the talks, which were triggered by public anger over exam irregularities and other scandals.
