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.
A big thank you to @BhimArmyChief sir for joining CJP’s protest today and extending his support to our movement.
Your presence has lifted the spirits of the students who have been protesting for the past 25 days.
Constantly talking about your past struggles becomes an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for your future. It feels safe to blame your upbringing or your environment because fixing your current reality requires effort. Your history is data, stop using it as an anchor.

Step into 2025 by asking yourself these 7 intensely hard questions:
1. The two-week test
The way you have lived your life in the last 2 weeks; if you live the rest of your life the same way, will your life become better or worse?
Our daily habits are the building blocks of our future selves.
2. Fear vs. desire
Is there something you are afraid of doing because of the world, but you really want to do it?
Our deepest desires often hide behind our biggest fears.
3. Unspoken words
If you die tomorrow, is there a person whom you wanted to tell something to, but could never tell them? What do you want to tell them?
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Speak your truth today.
4. Life's true priority
In the remaining time you have left on Earth, what is the most important thing for you? And do you work towards it every day?
Our actions, not our intentions, define our priorities.
5. The parent paradox
How many times did you meet your parents in the last month? And in the time they have left, how many more times can you meet them? Will that be enough for you?
Time with loved ones is a finite resource. Spend it wisely.
6. The paralysis of potential loss
Is there anything that you don’t want to do because you are afraid of losing?
Sometimes, the fear of losing prevents us from ever winning.
7. Identity stripped bare
Without your name, your designation, and your status, tell me who you are. And did you like this answer?
Our truest self exists beyond our social constructs.
These questions forced me (and will force you) to confront uncomfortable truths about your life, relationships, and identity.
Growth is a consequence of choosing the right discomfort.
“…so in my book, the BE 6e is the product and EV from India that will force the world to take notice and see us as a country with rival car makers and not just as a market to sell their cars in. The Mahindra BE 6e then is the face of the statement for Indian automotive technology that India has arrived.”

This is the kind of review and comment that gets our spirits soaring, our batteries supercharged and sends our aspirations sky-high!
