Modi's Education Minister Falls to Student Power The resignation of India's education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, marks a significant victory for student led protests that have been raging across the country for weeks.
The protesters' demands began as a response to examination paper leaks affecting over two million students, but grew into a broader call for accountability and an end to corruption in government.
Pradhan's resignation is a rare display of humility from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had been led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
