A new wave of youth-led protests in India is presenting Prime Minister Narendra Modi with an unprecedented challenge. Unlike previous opposition movements that Modi has effectively managed to isolate and diminish, the current demonstrations are characterized by their broad appeal and the unique tactics employed by the younger generation.
These Gen Z-driven protests signify a shift in the political landscape, potentially impacting Modi's long-standing ability to control narratives and neutralize dissent. The nature and scale of these demonstrations suggest a growing dissatisfaction among a key demographic, forcing a re-evaluation of the political strategies employed by the current administration.
