The boomers failed the millenials by being patriarchal uncles & phuphajis in every household. They restricted our freedoms and forced their shitty political beliefs on us.
They created a generation of selfish cowards who don't speak up when needed.
Millenials should not do the same mistake with GenZ.
We need to become a shield that these kids need so that they can have the freedom to express themselves politically, so that they have the space to rebel & revolt against the establishment.
We need to potect that space FOR them. We should create a fortress around them which protects them from these evil maniacs in powe that are coming for their heads with pellet guns and laathis.
Hear me out millenials: We have the brains, we have the resources and we have the skills to do this.
All we need is the intent.
Stop being fckn apolitical.
Get active.
Speak up and protect the next gen.
Don't make the same mistakes our parents did.

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
Respected sir maybe there was a communication issue but the way I remmeber the last 3 questions of my cross examination this evening -
Do you feel remorse - No
Are you sorry about what you said- No
If you tender an unconditional apology this matter will be looked at differently - No I can’t as the apology would not be sincere. Also it would set a terrible precedent for other artists & their freedom.
