A protest by government job aspirants in Jharkhand has evolved into a broader movement demanding reforms in recruitment, education and examination processes. At Ranchi's Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, several protesters, including 30-year-old Brahmanand Kumar Mahato from Ramgarh, have been on a hunger strike for four days, with doctors monitoring their health. Mahato, a father, says he cannot return home without securing justice for thousands of unemployed youth, despite his young daughter asking him to come back. Protesters allege repeated delays, irregularities and lack of transparency in recruitment have pushed many aspirants into prolonged uncertainty, turning the agitation into a wider campaign for systemic change.
