Start of Cockroach Movement
How did this movement start?
The reason for this page suddenly going viral is a comment by Chief Justice Surya Kant. During a court hearing he had said that there are some youth who do not get employment and are like cockroaches. Some of them go into media, some become active on social media, and some become RTI activists.
