Youth Representation in India's Parliament Remains Limited, Dynasties Predominate
India's Parliament has limited youth representation, with only 40 Lok Sabha MPs aged 40 or below, including six from Generation Z. Most young legislators come from political families, with 37.8% of MPs under 40 being dynasts. Major parties like BJP, Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Telugu Desam Party show similar patterns of youth MPs linked to political backgrounds. While Gen Z forms a large part of India's population, many are ineligible to contest due to age restrictions, highlighting challenges in youth political inclusion.
