They teach. They expose. They are being targeted for it.
They teach on YouTube, share free notes on Telegram, run coaching centres at zero or minimal fees. For crores of first-generation students from small towns and low-income families, these educators are the only option.
These same teachers have exposed paper leaks and corruption in Police, SSC, and other government exams. Their voice reaches millions. That is their crime.
Instead of fixing the crisis, the government turned on the messengers. A coordinated campaign brands these educators as opportunists and political actors — not to address their concerns, but to silence them.
Two Attacks. One Motive.
Prayagraj: Coaching Centres Sealed
After local coaching teachers spoke out against SSC irregularities, three major coaching centres in Prayagraj were sealed, citing safety violations. Centres that stayed silent stayed open. The ones that spoke were shut down.
Thousands of students from these sealed centres have exams on June 10. Their classes are closed. Their preparation and future is at stake, because their teacher told the truth.
Across India: Online Educators Under Fire
The government's media propaganda no longer works the way it used to, because millions of students now trust their teachers more than they trust state television. That reach is a threat to the establishment.
TV anchors like Anjana Om Kashyap and Sudhir Chaudhary have run coordinated smear campaigns, branding educators as "agitators," "anti-national," and "anarchists." This is not journalism. It is a hit job.
At the same time, government pressure is being applied on digital platforms to pull down content by these educators, quietly erasing the very voices that exposed exam corruption.
Three Clear Demands.
-
01
Reopen Now
All sealed coaching centres in Prayagraj must be reopened immediately. Administration must stop the witch hunt. Students' future is at stake.
-
02
Stop the Smear
We call on the President of India to intervene and direct media houses and pro-government anchors to immediately stop the coordinated smear campaign against independent educators. These teachers are not criminals. They are whistleblowers.
-
03
Protect Educators
The government must immediately stop all forms of targeted action against educators, sealing, media attacks, and platform pressure. Teaching is not a crime. Dissent is not sedition.
These teachers had the courage to stand against power for truth. They called out corruption that robbed millions of students of fair exams. For that, the government is trying to erase them, through sealing, smear campaigns, and social media takedowns.
We are standing with these educators. We are not willing to stay quiet while they are dismantled one by one.
