Hearing out Gen Z.
My father's caretaker is a 24 year old guy. Hails from Kanpur. He has done BSc Nursing and we have hired him through an agency that provides elder-care professionals at home.
Spends 12 hours at our home (8 am to 8 pm), rarely takes a leave. A very diligent guy, soft-spoken, well-read (keeps reading books from my collection) and speaks pretty fluent English.
On the morning of 20th July, he calls up and says he is not feeling well. On 21st he came, was limping a bit. Did not share what happened.
Yesterday he shared with dad that he told a lie. On 20th he had gone to Jantar-Mantar for supporting the students' protest and was hit by the police truncheon during lathi-charge. While running, lost his shoe and twisted his ankle.
Last night when I went home and was having dinner, dad told me about this. Today morning when he came I talked to him and realized what 'generation(al) gap' means.
While talking to him I realized, he was 9-10 when Anna Andolan happened. He was 10-11 when Arvind Kejriwal became the CM for the first time. He was 11-12 when BJP formed the government in 2014. The NEET aspirants are even younger than him. They were toddlers 12 years ago.
Some of the things we have lived through, are alien to him. All he has seen since he started experiencing the world is the current government and Modi as the PM. So for him, everything that he and his generation is been through in last 7-8 years since he 'grew up' - the responsibility lies with the current government.
He mentioned that there are 1000s of youngsters who have travelled from as far as Lucknow and Varanasi for these protests.
Again on being asked why? Why did he and his friends join the protest? Why these students have come so far to join the protests?
NEET exam leak was the last thing on his mind. The reasons he gave were - everything becoming expensive and unaffordable, no job opportunities, government's and police's high-headedness, corruption everywhere - and then went on to mention falling bridges, broken roads, no footpaths, stray dogs and cattle all around and dumps of garbage everywhere. He called ethanol-blending a scam.
I felt he was just waiting to burst out everything that's piled up in his mind. Glad that heard him out.
Then I realized that there are millions like him and these protests are not just about the NEET exam leak. These are the piled up frustrations finding a way out.
One simple question:
Has Caste Reservation fulfilled its purpose of uplifting people?
✅If YES - Then abolish it.
A policy shouldn't continue after it has outlived its purpose.
❌If NO - Then abolish it.
If 75+ years weren't enough, then it was never the right solution.
Sunil Singh
- A general category student
- His father is a grocery shop owner in Kanpur
- Scored 590 in NEET but the paper got cancelled. Scored 595 in the re NEET still didn't get a seat
- Came from Kanpur to Delhi by bus
- Has no food to eat and crying because he doesn't know what to do next
Sujat Ambedkar
- Great grandson of Bhim Rao Ambedkar
- Travels in a BMW
- Wears Hugo Boss suits worth 1 lakh
- Has no worries about studying
- Joined politics and enjoying wealth
- If his son or daughter wishes to become a doctor, they will get 50% reservation
Sunil's entire family's life would have changed if he had been selected. Sujat's life would have remained same even without reservation. Fair education can't coexist with reservation 🙏
NEET topper believes "there's no medical student in that protest" 🚨
Question - What's your view on the NEET protest?
Neet topper - I don't think it's a NEET protest anymore. The slogans being used there don't sound like something medical students would say.
I know how heartbreaking it must have felt when they announced that a re NEET will happen. But if someone can score 600+, they can do it again. You're not going to forget everything or every topic in just 20 days. There should be outrage, but it shouldn't be this much.
Also, my friend Asmita couldn't score well in her Re neet attempt. Now she's preparing again for next year's exam. She isn't out there protesting to claim justice because she believes that's a waste of time and the visuals where some people are fighting don't look like students to me. A student would care about their career before raising a hand against a police officer. The people in those protests don't seem to have any fear. I don't think there are any students in that protest."
This is the reality of that protest and every real student knows that they're just being used 🙏
A uniform does not make a person feel less pain.
Behind every badge is a beating heart, a family and a promise to serve.
Seeing on-duty police personnel assaulted is deeply disturbing.
Disagreement can have a voice.
Violence should never have a place.

A Neet student says "this is my last day at the protest" 🚨
17 year old Rushi Mehra -
I am going back home. I can't do this anymore. There are literally 5 goons around every genuine student. My brother and sister were protecting a Delhi Police officer because we had met him before, gave toffees to him and he told us if any problem occurs we can reach out to him. Last night, he didn't even have a stick in his hand. He was just asking everyone to move aside.
Suddenly, 10-15 goons attacked him and shouted, "Tujhe bhi Ratan Lal banayenge." I didn't understand it at that moment but when we searched on google, we found that Ratan Lal was a police officer who lost his life during a riot in 2020.
We were shocked. The most shocking part is that even the people leading the protest know about this but they are not doing anything. I want a career and I don't want to get into any trouble. If you are a student, just get out of this facade. Otherwise, you could end up ruining your career along with these goons."
I hope she reaches home safely after exposing the reality of CJP with so much courage 🙏
The biggest injustice in the education system.
One student pays ₹1 lakh in fees.
Another pays ₹3,000.
Both get the same education.
One student scores 70/100 and still doesn't get a seat.
Another scores 30/100 and gets the same seat.
For the last 70 years, this is so normalised that nobody even treats that as an injustice.
The irony.
🚨 EXPOSED! FCRA Amendment hits.
— One lady. One foundation. Multiple protests within 72 Hours🤯
Govt announces Doon-Rishikesh road expansion.
Manavi Anusha of "Aumana Foundation" begins IG campaign.
Shaves her head BALD on camera, floods Instagram with CRYING reels, emotional blackmail galore → project STOPS 🤯
48 hours later? Back in Delhi, same victim script. This time at CJP Protest😳
Meanwhile, This “Spiritual guru” was hurling the FILTHIEST slurs involving women, abusing everyone in reels & DMs like a street goon!
Leads a “spiritual society” but calls for street Anarchy on cops & PM, then plays bald victim.
These FCRA-hit NGOs are professional drama terrorists!
India’s development won’t be held hostage by bald hypocrisy anymore.
As a parent of a kid in late teens who has been at the receiving end of this year's OSM-based CBSE marking system, I know what disappointment and anger feels like.
I don't have the habit of making personal details public, but if parents are allowing kids to take part in such anarchism, then it is a serious lapse in parenting.
Congress, CPM and anti-national forces, take note!
There will be no forgiveness for those who insult our Prime Minister @narendramodi ji.
We will not allow anyone to subvert our democracy or weaken our national security.

🚨 A father came to the CJP protest with his 11-year-old and 17-year-old daughters.
The 11-year-old girl said that NEET students worked hard, but their careers got ruined due to the NEET paper leak.
When the anchor asked how she came to know about the protest and everything, her elder sister said, "We got to know from social media influencers."
The elder sister was shouting "Godi Media," but she didn't know what it meant.
These social media influencers played a huge role in the CJP protest with paid PR.
PURELY SHOWS HE HAS MET THE CIA SPECIMENS IN USA. HE HAS BEEN WELL GROOMED BY THE CIA.
THEN SENT TO INDIA FOR IMPLIMENTING THE CIA TOOLKIT!
HE IS AN EX WORKER OF AAP!
WAKE UP!
JAI HIND 🇮🇳
7 years back.
I scored 510 and my friend scored 388 in NEET.
I didnt get admission but my Friend who scored 388 got admission into MBBS.
Today he is writing on Instagram "Education System" is Unfair.
One thing is clear: the Delhi protesters want to plunge India into chaos, and stop the nation's progress. We must defeat this malicious agenda, which is aided and abetted by powers that want to destroy India.
We have a vibrant democracy and elections are the proper way to express our collective judgment.
