India's CJP Is Going Global — Youth Movements in 5 Countries Are Already Copying the Cockroach Party

What started as one student's satirical response to a Supreme Court judge is now inspiring copycat protest movements from Pakistan to Brazil. Youth groups in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Brazil have launched 'cockroach movements' of their own, citing India's Cockroach Janta Party as the template. Reuters reports that CJP is the first Indian satirical political movement to generate active international imitation — a sign that the youth unemployment and dignity crisis it represents is a global, not merely Indian, story.
