Meanwhile, younger generations engage in peaceful activism drawing on diverse political philosophies to pursue social and economic justice, reflecting ongoing efforts to realize constitutional ideals amid persistent inequalities. Both articles highlight challenges and aspirations within India's democratic framework and societal progress.
