NationalInterest:India’s Gen Z has opened a breach, for BJP to fill or Opposition to widen

#nationalinterest Depending on where your politics comes from you might see Jantar Mantar as a revolution, or as a passing sandstorm. My arguments won’t change any minds. I shall try, however, to say what’s happened and what hasn’t.
