Can CJP's Gen Z Protests Shake Modi? | Sanjay Rajoura x Abhinandan Sekhri

Abhinandan Sekhri says he used to be cynical about the “Instagram generation.” Then he watched young people protest at Jantar Mantar. He was impressed by their willingness to take risks. He also noticed how many different economic backgrounds were represented. Sanjay Rajoura saw a protest where people were having fun. He argues that the government does not know how to respond to that. Sheeba Aslam Fehmi asks whether young people can reclaim their democracy. The conversation starts with CJP, the Cockroach Janta Party. It moves through jobs, caste, class, hunger, elections and money in politics. They also discuss independent media and what happens when politics becomes a performance. They ask how much a protest can change beyond the day itself.
