India's Shameful Education System Exposed by Tribal Students' Protest The protest at Nashik's Idgah Maidan, led by tribal students, has been a constant reminder to the Indian government of its failure to provide even the most basic amenities in tribal residential schools.
The agitation, now in its 17th day, is not just about poor conditions but also about the systemic neglect of tribal education across the country.
Abhijit Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, visited the protesters and urged them to march to Mumbai, the state's power centre.
