Jharkhand Protests Successful Too

I know I am a lil late to the party, but my excitement cuz of this has gone beyond all expectations. For one of the first times in my life, I have been able to call myself a proud member of my Generation. A Generation that was said to be lazy, good-for-nothing and fully engrossed in brainrot, stood up to oppressors and showed them their place as to what they were elected to do. The Jharkhand Soren Government had to bow down to the students' demands too, after a heartbreaking lathi charge and another hunger strike by student activist Devendra Nath Mahto.

It is really really saddening to see how much the public has to fight against a government just to get their demands put out on a public forum. Is this how we, as a democracy, are going to treat dissenters? Our generation has fought back twice in a matter of 3 months. We're fighting back against a broken system for basic facilities in schools : toilets, teachers and boards for teaching.

Let me tell the parties one thing: focus on the students and you will reap. Neglect them and you will face dire consequences. We are not the ones who will fall back. We will fight tooth and nail against whatever anyone brings before us for our rights. Jai Hind. Jai Samvidhan. Inquilab Zindabad.

Jab Jab Zulmi Zulm Karega Satta Ke Galiyaaron Se, Chappa Chappa Goonj Uthega Inquilab Ke Naaron Se.
(Whenever an oppressor tries to oppress from the corridors of power, every inch of the land will rise with the slogan of Revolution.)

P.S.: Also, Mr. Soren, issue an unconditional apology for the actions of yourself, your Government and the Jharkhand Police. If you do not, you are no different from Mr. Amit Shah (ig that was proven last week tbh).

Real question: Modi Vs Rahul Gandhi. Only two options or someone getting prepared quietly?

Just curious what people here think. Is Indian politics basically heading towards another Modi vs Rahul Gandhi phase, or could we see a completely different face becoming a serious contender in the coming years?

Not supporting either side, genuinely asking who do you think could realistically emerge?

Modi will resign as PM one day, but BJP will leave a severe economic

The state of our Nation will be unimaginable by the time BJP lost elections.

Based on recent freebies, scams, corruptions, looting..

Top to bottom, wherever you go, you see corruption, potholes, drainage issues, road rage incidents, unemployment.

Unemployment is major concerning issue, the more the unemployment is, the more the employed people will be exploited.

[I am a millenial leftist] The issues were right there. The disgruntled populace were right there. Why didn't Hindu nationalists organize a massive campaign before CJP focusing on those issues??

https://preview.redd.it/2xbba45l2cfh1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=661ab88d02fb9c53b0bb00abaecee5c529d08e25

The above insta ad are some of the examples I saw in the protests. Based on in image alone I interpreted as them leading the protests instead of culling it. So I will go with the former interpretation of mine.

I constantly hear that many Hindu nationalists in many right wing subreddits do support Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation (at least they claim to). Liker influencer Ajeet Bharti putting down CJP protests as being anti-Pradham before it was cool to be so. He is now organizing the prortests against Reservations.

So my question is this: Why didn't any Right Wing, Hindu nationalist, did a Abhijit-Dipke and start a massive protests?

I have doubts about elections myself. But many Hindu nationalists don't. And going by election resuilts. Hindu have majority Hindu support. Sure you guys can believe that BJP is doing everything good. But that would be the spirit even this protest would've carried. That BJP is good, but it could've been better.

The issues are still right there. The disappointed people were right there. A massive majority of GenZ, like more than 70% of the people are your vote-bank. GenZ are the generation that made Bhajan Raves a massive trend to cash on. I am a left leaning progressive anti-theist, and I can assure you the moment this movement becomes irrelevant, 85% of them will return back to become pro-Modi and anti-muslim.

This would've already put BJP in backfoot. There wouldn't have been any 'Azadi', 'Jai Bheem' chants. No other political party would've tried to co-opt this protest. You couldve had a massive support support from Bollywood and other movie industry fraternity. The Right-Wing hindu nationalists could've covered Jantar Mantar, with bhagva flag, Jai-Shree-Ram chants, etc. This protest, just like Ram Janmbhoomi protests could've been a show of solidarity amongst all the castes. Abrahamics, Leftists and Ambedkarites won't even dare to join. There were news about temples being closed for protestors. This could've not even let the news spread and temples would've been open for you guys.

I also believe that the recents protests is not gonna help the opposition. But will also put a minor dent on BJP's votecounts. Hindu nationalists organizing protests could've avoided that vote loss and could've kept BJP in power.

So my question is this? 1. Why was there no initiative from Hindu nationalists personalities to organize protests 2. From the perspective of Hindu nationalists Islam is THE threat. I get it. But will Hindu Nationalists question the government on the policies being implemented or are Hindu Nationalists in complete supportive of the policies (with minor disagrements which you think can be solved afterwards)

When the Curtain Fell: My Modi-to-Wizard-of-Oz Moment

I used to support Narendra Modi.

Not blindly, and certainly not because I thought he was perfect. But when he was elected in 2014, I genuinely believed India needed a shake-up. The Congress government had become synonymous with corruption, policy paralysis and political inertia, and Modi came across as someone who would actually get things done.
And, to be fair, during his first term there were things that looked like genuine progress. GST was a major reform. Financial inclusion through Jan Dhan, the expansion of digital payments, Swachh Bharat, infrastructure development and initiatives such as Ujjwala created the impression that India was finally moving with some urgency.
I remember thinking: Okay, this is what decisive government looks like.

But somewhere during the second term, things started standing out.
The treatment of minorities became increasingly difficult to dismiss as isolated incidents. Concerns around discrimination, religious polarisation, hate speech and the shrinking space for dissent have been raised repeatedly by human rights organisations and other observers.

Then there was the constant repackaging of government achievements.
There is nothing wrong with a government continuing, expanding or improving programmes started by a previous government. But there is a difference between building on existing work and creating the impression that everything began with you.

Over time, I started noticing how many initiatives were renamed, rebranded or presented as uniquely belonging to the Modi government, even when they had their origins in earlier administrations.
And then came the growing gap between the official narrative and what people were experiencing.
India can have strong GDP growth while simultaneously struggling with unemployment, underemployment and poor quality jobs. Yet the political messaging often seemed to reduce complicated economic realities to impressive headline numbers.

The same thing happened with institutions.
For years, I dismissed concerns about the weakening of democratic institutions as exaggerated opposition rhetoric. But when questions about investigative agencies, the media, elections, universities, civil society and even the judiciary keep surfacing, eventually you have to ask yourself whether you’re seeing isolated problems or a pattern.

And this is where 2026 feels different to me.
Because this year, the people pulling at the curtain aren’t just opposition politicians.
It’s students. It’s young people. It’s ordinary citizens who have become increasingly unwilling to accept the official version of events.
The Cockroach Janta Party, the satirical youth movement that emerged after the Chief Justice of India referred to unemployed young people as “cockroaches”, is perhaps the most striking example. What started as satire became a protest movement around exam leaks, unemployment and institutional accountability.
And there’s something almost poetic about that.
The government narrative says everything is progressing.
The young people experiencing the consequences are saying: No. Look at what is actually happening to us.
So maybe the questions we should be asking now are simple:
Where are the jobs?
Why are competitive exams repeatedly being compromised?
Why does criticism so often get treated as disloyalty?
Why are minorities increasingly anxious about their place in the country?
Why does the official narrative sometimes look so different from the reality people experience?
And perhaps most importantly:
If everything is working as well as we’re being told it is, why does asking these questions feel so uncomfortable?
I don’t regret supporting the idea of change in 2014.
I regret not questioning the person delivering that change more critically.
Maybe 2026 is simply the year the curtain started to fall.
And once you’ve seen what’s behind it, you can’t really unsee it.

If this happened in any workplace, everyone involved would be held accountable. Why is Parliament different? Where is the CJP ‘Pressure Group’?

Saw this analogy and it struck a nerve. Forget for a moment which party is protesting, which party is in power, and who started what. MPs are elected and paid to represent citizens, debate legislation, scrutinize the government, raise constituency issues and actually conduct parliamentary business. Yet we repeatedly see sessions disrupted by sloganeering, adjournments and political theatre. Protest and dissent are absolutely part of democracy. But so are debate, accountability and doing the job you were elected to do.
If Parliament loses hours or entire days to disruption, should there be some form of accountability for MPs on **all sides** who deliberately prevent proceedings?
Or is disruption itself a legitimate parliamentary tool when normal debate fails?

I WANT TO KNOW THE MINDSET OF FELLOW TEENAGERS

(TLDR AT THE END)

So fellow teenagers, I believe that the version of India we were promised to by political parties are not even remotely similar to the version of India we are living in right now. If you agree to this statement then I am sure you would have prolly thought at some point of your life "I wanna leave this country"..me too, but unfortunately this is not the solution.

Corruption has been chipping away the country like a mite. Scrolling reels, we might have come across reels of some highly developed foreign countries. We wonder, and honestly speaking, we do feel a little bit jealous. Why only western country? Why not our country? We then say to ourself that "I will leave this country because it's irreparable and go to a better country". After you are done with the scrolling session, you put down your phone, do some other work, go to sleep and forget it. When you go out, or watch the news, you are again hit with the reality, but never do anything about it. Realistically speaking, you are not even wrong. You cant do anything about it but EVERYONE TOGETHER CAN. This may feel vague and contextless. What am I even talking about but I wish to speak about the better image after I get accustomed to my fellow teens. Now while that maybe viable, for most of the people in this country it is not, and EVEN talking about this entire thing feels delusional. WHY DOES A GENERATION OF PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE,THE LIFE THEY HAVE BEEN PROMISED TO BY EVERYONE , AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE THINK ABOUT LEAVING THIS "DOOMED" COUNTRY?WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR PEOPLE TO MIGRATE TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY? We pay taxes IN INDIA AND THIS IS OUR COUNTRY. WE LIVE HERE AND WE DESERVE THE THINGS WE ARE REALLY CAPABLE OF. We are starting to come to the core of this issue. We have been living in a dream bubble. In the end, we all know that at the end of the day this is not even practical for most of us. We have been living in a state of pathetic hope. I am not criticizing any political party but at the same time I AM CRITICZING EVERY SINGLE POLITICAL PARTY. I don't care about political parties. I only care about their impact and you should too. Idolizing a person is okay but the same is not applicable for a political party. Its time for Indians to throw away their religion, caste, language, region, envy and hatred for other Indians aside. Its time we hold hands together and work towards a better cause and towards the end we all desire and deserve to meet.

I have a vision for this country and I am sure this will not be easy by any means. This post is a very small but a significant step towards that goal. I would request anyone reading to take out just few mins from their schedule to comment on this post. So I want to know about the problems teenagers(we) face daily and problems India as a whole faces daily. I would like to know about the dissatisfactions, you have regarding our country. I want to know about YOUR vision of India. I also want to know about the things YOU believe need a change in this country.(NOTE:PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SPEAKING ON VERY SENSITIVE TOPICS BECAUSE I BELIEVE I AM NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO BE TALKING ABOUT THOSE IN THIS SUBREDDIT..I AM PRETTY SURE, AS RESPONSIBLE TEENAGERS YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TOPICS I AM TALKING ABOUT).

Of all the questions I mentioned in the previous paragraph ,you can answer all the questions you want or you can answer any 2 questions at least.

NOW, to all the problems you (or WE INDIANS) face, that you are gonna comment, I will try my best to reply with a nice solution and you can answer back with your own solution if you want or if you believe I am some what correct(or if my solution needs improvement) then you can say so in the comment. Since I am a human too like you all, I can make mistakes too, I may even reply with an unrealistic solution, BUT please bear with me. I will try my best to keep my feet grounded in reality and try my best to improve my grasp on reality with your reality checks and corrections

THE entire point of this post is that I want to understand the mindset of my fellow teenagers and discuss about our country's future.

Now I am sure, people are gonna comment, "WHATS OUR OPINION EVEN WORTH?" "WHO WOULD LISTEN TO US?" "WHATS THE POINT OF SHARING EMOTIONS?", ofc a single reddit post does not change the world nor is it supposed to. I just want to know about everyone's view and trust me, NO opinion is worthless. You are all required for the future of this country. Every single of your opinions matter. Remember, WE are the future of this country, it is OUR OPINION THAT MATTERS IN THE END BECAUSE WE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF VOTERS.

(this sure is a pretty long paragraph and I am sure people are not gonna read this entire thing and skip to this last part, so I am putting a tldr for you. I wrote this entire thing by myself , no AI USED. Now after writing this entire thing I am not gonna summarize it by myself because I am tired, so honestly speaking I am gonna use AI for the summary ONLY. Pardon me)(ALSO- If the comments on this posts increase by a lot then I may take time to reply to your comment but I will try my best to reply to most of them)

tldr-I’m exhausted by the cycle of watching foreign country reels, feeling jealous, calling India "doomed," and doing nothing about it. We pay taxes, we live here, and we deserve better—without getting blinded by caste, religion, or political party loyalties. I want to know the real problems you face daily and your vision for India. Comment your thoughts, and let's debate potential solutions together. We're the next generation of voters; our voice matters.

New law of Modi government has come. If the government asks any social media platform to delete a post, they will have to delete it within 3 hours. Modi ji is very scared since Gen Z’s movement.

Modi ji, the more you suppress the voice of the people of the country, the more their anger will increase.

why bjp needs to win again

12 years of bjp leadership have shown us a stronger, more developed and globally respected india, from infrastructure and the digital economy to national security and india’s position on the world stage.
and national security matters.

the world has seen the damage caused by islamist extremist organisations like 9/ 11, al-qaeda, isis, the london bombings, and repeated attacks across pakistan and afghanistan. that doesn’t mean every muslim is an extremist, but pretending radical islamist terrorism isn’t a real threat is equally irresponsible.

india also has pakistan and bangladesh on its borders, making illegal immigration, border security, radicalisation and demographic changes issues we cannot simply ignore.

look at the immigration and integration debates happening across the uk and europe. countries are now struggling with problems they failed to address early enough.

so yes, i want the bjp to win. not because i think modi is perfect, but because i believe national security, stability, development and controlled immigration matter.
if bjp loses, the stakes for india are far bigger than just changing the government.
