3:52Now PlayingNearly three decades separate two student movements—but one name connects them. In 1997, a young Dharmendra Pradhan reportedly led protests in Odisha over an alleged examination paper leak and was injured during a police lathi charge. Today, as India's Union Education Minister, he finds himself at the centre of nationwide protests over allegations of examination irregularities and paper leaks. Is history repeating itself, or are the two situations fundamentally different? This explainer traces Pradhan's journey from student activist to Education Minister, revisits the 1997 protest, examines the current controversy, and explores why the comparison has become a major political talking point.
