India's Viral 'Cockroach' Movement Gains Millions; PM Modi Visits Italy for Bilateral Talks
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Italy for the final leg of his five-nation tour, meeting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for dinner and a Colosseum visit ahead of official talks focused on strengthening bilateral trade, defense, tech, and strategic ties including the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). Simultaneously, the Cockroach Janata Party—a viral Gen Z online movement sparked by the Chief Justice of India comparing unemployed youth to cockroaches—has gained over 3 million Instagram followers, evolving from a satire into a serious platform for young Indians to express frustration with the country's political system, per founder Abhijeet Dipke.
