Domestic Unrest in India: Foreign Influence Claims and Youth Protests Challenge Government
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat suggested a 'western storm' aims to destabilize India, echoing a common 'foreign hand' narrative criticized for lacking evidence and deflecting from domestic issues. Meanwhile, youth protests, initially sparked by exam concerns, have broadened to challenge Prime Minister Modi's government, with opposition parties like Congress accusing the Election Commission's chief of bias favoring the BJP. These developments highlight tensions between government narratives and growing domestic dissent among young Indians.
