In New Delhi on Saturday, Abhijeet Dipke confirmed the resignation of India’s education minister. For over two months, Mr. Dipke had been at the forefront of a protest demanding this outcome. Upon hearing the news, he knelt in excitement, repeatedly striking the stage at New Delhi’s main protest site before announcing the victory to the assembled crowd.
“Long live student power,” Mr. Dipke declared, energizing the demonstrators who responded with loud applause, cheers, and celebratory hugs. At 30, Mr. Dipke had already gained significant support by founding a movement allowing India’s youth to express their dissatisfaction. This achievement against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government further solidified his status as a prominent figure.
Two months earlier, Mr. Dipke was an international student in the United States, with a master’s degree in public relations from Boston University. He balanced job applications with workouts and leisure activities, like playing FIFA on his PlayStation. In an interview on Saturday from the protest stage, Mr. Dipke recounted these recent experiences.
