Neha Bora: 'We are demanding the restoration of democracy in India'

From protests over the NEET paper leak to allegations of electoral irregularities, India's Gen Z activists have emerged as a vocal force challenging the Modi government. As student groups and opposition parties mobilise amid repeated police detentions, Neha Bora, president of the All India Students' Association (AISA), speaks to Slow Reads about the growing protests, the demands driving them and whether the movement can evolve into a broader struggle for democratic rights. The Daily Star (TDS): From the NEET paper leak to allegations of voter roll manipulation, India's Gen Z protests have taken on increasingly political demands. What connects these issues, and what do they reveal about young people's growing disillusionment with the Modi government? Neha Bora (NB): There is a clear continuity in the movement. The energy of Jantar Mantar 1.0, which ended in victory, came from a deep disenchantment with the current regime. The immediate trigger was the NEET paper leak. The movement as a whole was a rejection of a regime that is destroying the future of the younger generation, Gen Z, by undermining publicly funded education and the chance of dignified employment. Gen Z has also made it clear that it is aware of the divisive...

WHO DON: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

#19,378 While it doesn't get near the attention it did before COVID, MERS-CoV continues to circulate in dromedary camels in the Middle East, occasionally spills over into humans, and is likely under reported. MERS-CoV also continues to evolve, which raises concerns over its future impact (see Health Sci Rpts (Narrative Review): Pathogenicity and Potential Role of MERS-CoV in the Emergence of “Disease X”). In 2025, the WHO released 3 MERS-CoV DON reports (see here, here, and here), and last December, France reported 2 Travelers Returning From Arabian Peninsula Diagnosed with the MERS-CoV virus. This year has been somewhat quieter, with the first WHO update of 2026 published just last week (October 15th), which chronicles 8 cases reported by Saudi Arabia since last December. Of note - while the WHO states `Humans contract MERS-CoV through direct or indirect contact with dromedary camels, the virus’s natural host and zoonotic reservoir.' - 6 of the 8 cases reported no known contact with camels or camel products. This is not a new trend; in 2025 more than half of the cases reported by KSA listed no known contact with camels or camel products, and this has been frequently reported in the past. Exactly how...

17 October 1950: Salt of the Earth strike

On this day, 17 October 1950, miners of the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers went on strike against the Empire Zinc Company.  Their initial demands were for the end of discriminatory pay which paid white workers more than Mexican workers, and an end to segregated housing. Later, they added indoor plumbing and hot water for Mexican-American homes to their list of demands.  The company fought back, sending police to harass picketers, posting eviction notices on company houses, cutting off credit to strikers at the company grocery store, and sending in scabs. In time, miners from other companies in the area joined the picket line.  Eight months into the strike, the company got a court injunction forbidding the strikers to return to the picket line, and so the wives of the workers took up the picket line to get around the company’s legal tactic. The women faced sexism, police violence, and mass arrest but stayed strong.  After 15 months, the company gave into nearly every demand, agreeing to improve wages and benefits and provide hot water to homes in the town.  The strike drew national attention and was dramatised in the 1954 film “Salt of the Earth,” which was mostly acted out by workers rather than professional actors and was directed and produced by filmmakers blacklisted by Hollywood.  More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8938/salt-of-the-earth-strike Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
