India's Gen Z Shapes Politics Through Social Media, Protests, and Electoral InfluencePreviousNext

India's Gen Z is actively influencing politics through social media, protests, and electoral participation. Political leaders across parties, including PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi, and regional figures like Tamil Nadu's C. Joseph Vijay, are engaging with younger voters using contemporary language and platforms. Traditional parties face challenges adapting to Gen Z's political style, as youth-led movements have prompted shifts in political communication and strategy nationwide.
