We break down the raw, unfiltered, and dark reality of campus politics in India. Is student politics really a "Political Startup"? Why is India’s youth afraid to enter politics? What actually happens to election manifesto promises like Metro Concession Passes behind Vice Chancellor and Ministry doors? Sachin Bainsla addresses every uncomfortable question about power dynamics, money, and administrative red-tape without any PR filters.
