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.

at least I completed my 10k steps today at India AI Summit

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

@SarvamForDevs @The_Anant_Raj See you tomorrow 🙌

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

@StalwartCoder @smallest_AI Sure sure🌻

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

AI summit day 1 is prime example of how India is not yet capable of managing such large events as of now.

I saw speakers, attendees , exhibitors struggling for the entry just bcoz of PM’s protocol. I mean, are all other people a joke???

Total mismanagement!!

[Punit Jain @punit__jain]

An AI Summit that sidelines its own builders?

• 7 AM queues
• 9 AM entry
• 12 PM full evacuation
• Hours of sanitization
• PM visit at 5 PM
. Day 1 Ends here

Meanwhile — exhibitors, delegates, startup founders left outside. No water. No clarity.

Media shows celebration. Ground reality was chaos.

If access was limited to select high-value guests, just say it upfront.
Don’t mobilize the ecosystem and then displace them.

This is not how we build India’s AI future. @abhish18 @GoI_MeitY @PMOIndia #AiSummit #aiImpactSummit

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

@dhruvmakes @ZeptoNow @zeptocares Thank you, will surely do next time!

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

@dhruvmakes @ZeptoNow @zeptocares thanks man for bringing this up, but how come the product has foul smell, i have been using the same product from other sites. but never have faced this issue.

so, idk what product is sold to me. and, how much authentic it was.

[Anjali @anjaliyaps]

I have been using this fake moisturiser from 2/10/25 and, god knows what product was inside. I tried reaching out to [email protected]

But, all i am receiving is that 3 days window is gone.

I mean, my only fault was that trusted Zepto product’s authenticity.
