Millennials are now sandwiched between a generation that believes everything they read on WhatsApp and a generation that believes everything they see on Instagram.
The government is ultimately a reflection of its citizens. When we start taking responsibility for our own actions first, accountability becomes a habit rather than just a slogan. And when citizens consistently do their part, governments are under greater pressure to do theirs.
But accountability can't be a one-way street—it has to apply to all of us.
A country's civic sense isn't built by governments alone; it's built by its people. After all, democracy is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Shouldn't we also be accountable for keeping our surroundings clean? Or are we only going to demand someone else's resignation because Jantar Mantar wasn't cleaned?This doesn't reduce the government's responsibility in any way. Governments absolutely must be held accountable.
Massive respect to the young people protesting at Jantar Mantar. They're young, educated, and probably among the most civically aware groups in the country. But then you see videos of the area afterwards—litter, papers, and garbage left everywhere.
Classic performative activism!
It's a tool where social issue is weaponized by the influencers to boost their own clout.
What makes such videos so jarring is the glaring contradiction between the content and the process. Behind this ten-second clip of raw distress lies a cold, calculated production process: getting ready, doing makeup, setting up a tripod, adjusting the lighting, summoning tears on command or maybe glycerine, editing out the setup and the end where she gets up to end the video, carefully selecting a trending soundtrack, posting, and then hoping it goes viral and brings clout.
This behavior is driven by the warped incentives of the attention economy. Rather than keeping the public's focus on the actual victims or the socio-political reality of the protests, the influencer centers the tragedy entirely on themselves. The narrative subtly shifts from "Look at what is happening to these students" to "Look at how deeply I am suffering because of what is happening to these students."
Today on an admission panel I spoke to some Gen Z candidates- they don't read any newspaper, have no credible source of news, have no fact checking tools, no fake news awareness. All their "news" is coming from Instagrammers and youtubers who are also their leaders now, I am scared of where this anarchy is going to lead us.
This is what happns whn u don't focus on studies in school/clg and lack skills and no one gives you a job bcz u can't do anything. Instead of building a life, you're out here making a mess of everyone else's. Too much free time & absolutely no direction. Peak unemployed behaviour
Joining The Dots….They Are Exposed
Old Wine In A New Bottle , There’s No High
It’s the same old people with the same old agenda wrapped in a new package.
This is Bharat, not Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Ukraine….We don’t fall like a pack of cards.

Whoever is serious about students interests should protest against Reservations and a move towards complete meritocracy.
How is a system sustainable where in many cases of the last General Category Cutoff is 95% the same for many reserved categories could be just 10-30%
It's time to shut down education programmes, especially in the humanities, where employment prospects are negligible. You are only creating a generation that wastes time preparing for government exams or capitalising on the social media protest economy on Instagram.
This is what happens when you form an opinion watching reels and learn politics from reels. Literally most of the people I'm seeing constantly sharing reels and demanding resignations are unemployed.🫠
