The Story in Brief
According to The New Indian Express, Jantar Mantar has been cleared of protesters from the Cockroach Janta Party and the Gen Z movement, ending weeks of demonstrations. The Prime Minister publicly forgave the protesters, but his supporters have taken this as a signal to go after them. The opposition, feeling revived after years of irrelevance, sees an opportunity to press further, while the government prepares to counter-attack. The columnist warns that the end of the protests is only the conclusion of Act One, and more political drama is expected. Underlying issues including reservation policies, alleged police brutality, and disinformation remain unresolved.

The narrative of a foreign hand behind the protests is as overblown as the claim that an Instagram movement equals revolution. Both sides use these stories to avoid hard questions. India's democracy is not as fragile as either side pretends. The real test is whether the government will reform reservation policies or simply crush dissent. What concrete steps will follow Act One?
