What to know about nationwide protests in India over voter list changes
The campaign is led in part by India's "Cockroach" youth movement, which previously forced the education minister to resign.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the Cockroach movement’s new nationwide protests over voter roll changes, with The Guardian US emphasizing the size of the Mumbai turnout and heavy police presence. NPR takes a more explanatory angle, presenting the protests as something readers should know about and noting that the campaign is led in part by the youth movement. Only NPR’s extract mentions the movement’s earlier role in forcing the education minister to resign.
