Indian Democracy Shows Resilience Amid Protests, Says Shashi Tharoor

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has described the Gen Z movement in Delhi and India's democracy. He said that the government's stance on the protests over the NEET-UG paper leak in India shows that Indian democracy still has resilience and the ability to listen to the people. The then education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from his post after this movement at Jantar Mantar. Supporting the government's move, he said, "The system is bent, but not broken." Comparing it to other countries in South Asia, Tharoor said, "The governments in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka tried to suppress the voice of the people, forcing the governments there to flee. The government in Nepal definitely changed, but the political structure remained. While the military-led government came to power in Pakistan, and the military in Myanmar carried out a full-fledged coup in Myanmar. India's democratic system proved far better than in neighbouring countries because it resigned so much of its anger and so much of its anger that NDTV's Dharmendra Pradhan handled the situation of democracy without taking any names.
