Caste & Reservation: Gen Z Indians Face Off | PART 01

Is caste still real for young India? And is reservation still the answer? In Episode 01, Part 01 of The India Projekt, young Indian men from different backgrounds sit down together for an honest, unfiltered conversation on one of the country’s most debated topics: caste and reservation. 6 Gen Z Indians talk about how caste still shapes lives today, from classrooms and college admissions to jobs, relationships and social media. Is reservation still needed? Is merit fair? What does equality really mean in modern India? No scripts, no sides chosen for you, just real people sharing real experiences and perspectives. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Watch Part 2 here: [Soon] At The India Projekt, we believe India grows stronger when we listen to each other, especially when we disagree. Different voices, one India. Tell us in the comments: do you think reservation should continue, change, or end? Keep it respectful.
