00:06marching towards the state assembly complex in India's eastern Jharkhand state.
00:11Students and unemployed youths have been protesting since late July

00:20including claims of leaked question papers.
00:22They are demanding reforms to the examination system,
00:26the cancellation of certain tests, and a federal police investigation.
