Watching India's Gen Z over the past few days has filled me with hope.
They have looked after strangers like family, shared food and water, cleaned and swept their own protest sites, cared for the elderly, sung Jana Gana Mana and songs of hope together, stayed disciplined under immense provocation, quietly kept the movement alive through countless acts of selfless service and reminded us the courage can be peaceful.
To their parents, I offer my deepest respect for raising compassionate, responsible and courageous citizens. India owes you a debt of gratitude.
If this is the generation we have raised, India's future is in safe hands.
Indian Gen Z... you are not just the future of this country. You are role models to the world. 🇮🇳❤️
Just now in the presence of Union Ministers Sh. JP Nadda, Dr. Jitendra Singh and the senior leaders of Apex Body of Leh Ladakh I finally broke my fast after 26 days. Earlier 65 members of parliament from different political parties had visited or signed letters urging me to break the fast. This was done after long negotiations on various conditions and in view of possible violence in the country. I will explain the conditions in detail in a separate video very soon. Meanwhile I urge you all to stay very vigillant about not allowing violence of any kind anywhere.
As an educator, I find it deeply painful to watch the image of our students being tarnished on media.
The students' protest is taking place peacefully at Jantar Mantar. If there are reports of violence elsewhere in Delhi, please do not rush to attribute them to this movement without evidence. Those who genuinely know these young people have seen their extraordinary patience, discipline and restraint.
I often wonder: what kind of system is so quick to distrust its own students? Why is it easier to question their intentions than to hear their concerns?
Our children deserve to be protected, not portrayed as villains. Their voices deserve to be heard, not drowned out by narratives that serve vested interests.
Spent the entire night at Jantar Mantar. Tired, but proud to have stood up for what I believe in. Here are a few moments from the ground.#JantarMantar#RightToProtest#Democracy
Imagine if more homes sounded like drums instead of whispers. If more daughters were received with love instead of judgment. How different would things be?
