The irony is that I didn't even see this on any Indian news channel, yet a Qatar-based channel seems more concerned. Says a lot about how ignored we are.

Thanks for highlighting this issue on global level

Students who got professional degrees in last 10 years will face difficulty to find a job as papers leak news will always be on the minds of interviewers.

The scale of these crowds is massive, but I wonder what the actual ratio of protesters to the total student population is across the country? Al Jazeera, can you provide a verified source for the total estimated turnout today? Hard to gauge the systemic impact without the raw data.

It's one thing to demand a resignation, but is that actually a realistic goal here? I wonder if these protests will lead to any concrete policy changes regarding the education system, or if it'll just end in a standoff. It feels like the core grievances might get lost in the scale of the demonstration.

Heavy scenes in the capital today. The sheer scale of those crowds marching on parliament is unbelievable. This is shaping up to be a massive standoff. Who do you reckon has the upper hand here? Let's hear your thoughts below!
