There is a common link between youth unrest across Asia, Africa and Europe. It is not a a mysterious foreign agency. It is the failure of neoliberal capitalism to improve living standards for the majority of the world’s population.
The RSS and BJP have failed to read the ground and grossly miscalculated the cascading effects of their failures on students and youth, particularly GenZ and the generations that will follow. that.
The same mobile phones once used by the BJP to circulate falsehoods through WhatsApp have become instruments of political activism, documentation and fact-checking.

India's students and youth have been at the forefront of struggles for people's causes since the freedom movement. The AISF brought students from across the country together in the fight against imperialism. India has witnessed two major student and youth mobilisations in recent months. The first was against the NEET paper leak demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The second is the ongoing protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over mass deletions from electoral rolls through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
The RSS and BJP have failed to read the ground and grossly miscalculated the cascading effects of their failures on students and youth, particularly GenZ and the generations that will follow. Their grievances are no longer specific because the BJP’s failures are general. that. The same mobile phones once used by the BJP to circulate falsehoods through WhatsApp have become instruments of political activism, documentation and fact-checking.
There is a common link between youth unrest across Asia, Africa and Europe. It is not a conspiratorial group or a mysterious foreign agency. It is the failure of neoliberal capitalism to improve living standards for the majority of the world’s population.
India's students and youth have inherited a proud tradition of resistance. They will question, organise and fight for a better future. Modi and the BJP must learn to become accountable. Barricades cannot contain the youth aspirations and wild conspiracy theories cannot answer for pervasive failures.
