India's political class has suddenly discovered Gen Z. After the student-led protests over the NEET paper leak forced the resignation of a Union minister, every major political party is now trying to connect with young voters.
On India Matters, influencers Ojas Bhandari and Shubham Pathak debate whether the student movement stayed true to its purpose or became overly political. They also discuss controversial slogans at the protest, the role of creators, MPs using Gen Z slang in Parliament, and whether the BJP and Congress genuinely understand young Indians—or are simply chasing votes.
