Well, the government has responded by saying it doesn't believe that the sudden explosive growth of this cockroach movement is genuine.

It thinks this is a campaign of bots.

They believe these are bots originating in Pakistan, their arch enemy.

Cockroach Party says that isn't correct.

They've published data from Instagram showing that 94% of their Instagram followers are from India.

But the government is insisting that it doesn't believe that such rapid growth in numbers can be genuine.

He says he thinks tens of thousands of people will show up.

What I'm told here by people who follow youth movements in India is that there is genuine discontent.

There is a feeling that problems of youth unemployment are

and of problems in the exam system and in public education, have not been addressed by the current government adequately over its 12 years in power.

So we may see India come up with a sort of youth protest movement of the type that some neighbouring nations like Bangladesh and Nepal have seen.

There are also other people who say India's different.

It's not something that will take off here, and they think this will be a flash in the pan.

I think we're just going to have to see over the coming weeks and months how this plays out.

Thank you.
