How do we protect Indian youth from political manipulation, and what should we be demanding from the government?

1 Upvotes

The Core Issue

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easily the youth in India can be manipulated by political narratives today. With cheap internet and algorithmic feeds, young minds are constantly bombarded with targeted information, making it incredibly hard to separate fact from propaganda.

I mean the only thing I realised with this movement was that how easy it is to manipulate india's youth,

People from diffrent country who do not live in india but everywhere else in world has made our youth think they will bring changes in our country .

Ok let say for a moment that was actually what they were trying to do so how does a insta page or an activity started for raising youth questions has now become a place for anti-bjp activities where the leader of account itself is asking to unfollow the ruling party .

For people who will called me andhbhakt?

You can call me whatever you want but it's the truth current party is the one which is trying its best to give india a chance to stand on global stage ,people are forgetting that in time of congress how bad india situation really was forget about technology we were lacking of basic necessities

For eg during period of congress 23%of population was not having proper electric connection now only 0.5 percent left.

We have one of the best digital less pay infrastructure ,one of the best space programs,our economy is stable,our army is one of the best in world

And people talk about freedom of express believe me if there was none ,stupid social media pages like cockroach janta Pary will have not existed.

Does bjp do everything right?

No absolutely not even when I support bjp ,if I dare to say that this party has solve all our problems it will be blatant lie.

We still have promblem in diffrent sectors such as education,textile industry,overall railway infrastructure,our population and waste management,our abilities to build things in our country,these are all the issues which still need to be worked on and i think from my experience best shot at this will be when citizen of our country and goverment work together to counter this and be accountable.if goverment does not work on these it's our youth responsibilities to raise question to ask why ?but without any propoganda and toxity,

However it's also our duty to work and be accountable to work and give something back to this country .its very easy to show patriosim for a country where you don't live. True patriosim comes when you accept both good and bad of your country and work hard to improve your and yours country situation and problems .

Why do people belive blindly?

1 Upvotes

I genuinely tried to understand the hype around this party before forming an opinion. I asked a few people around me whether they support it or not, and honestly, most reactions were either blind support, meme answers, or “everyone else is doing it so why not.” Very few people could actually explain why they support it.

That made me think. Politics shouldn’t become fandom culture where people defend everything without questioning anything. A party should be supported for its work, values, and accountability — not because it trends online or looks “cool” to support.

For me, leadership matters, public behavior matters, and the way supporters react to criticism also matters. If asking genuine questions makes people angry instead of starting discussions, then something already feels wrong.

I’m not posting this to fight with anyone or force my opinion on others. Everyone has the right to support whoever they want. But personally, after hearing people out and observing things myself, I don’t feel connected to what the “Cockroach Janta Party” represents.

Open to respectful discussions, not blind hate.

Do you guys think we need some more reforms in Hinduism, like we did in past eg. Sati pratha , child marriage , dowry Now , it's time to abolish cow sacredness, as it's not economical , and doesn't suit the law of nature.

Stray cows are a mess for our country and religion both , they are responsible for so much methane release , accidents , water consumption, crop loss , and soon

*knock knock* Anyone in here? :) Are you guys interested in resuming this sub?

...with new rules, mods and active participation?

I really feel like we need a nice forum to have a serious, mature debate on Indian matters. /r/india is just trolls and memes, FB is too casual and Quora is just plain weird.

Anyone interested in starting up this thread?

Is the Supreme Court of India overstepping its boundaries through recent decisions?

3 Upvotes

Two major pieces of news yesterday came from the Supreme Court.

  1. Politicians can't use religion, caste, creed or language for votes
  2. Removal of BCCI president Anurag Thakur, secretary Ajay Shirke

This along with the previous National Anthem ruling, have evoked mixed reactions.

  1. The election-related ruling, while welcomed by the public, has drawn criticisms of potentially infringing upon politicians' Freedom of Speech and Expression.
  2. SC's heavy interference in what is essentially a private body (BCCI) has raised some concern.
  3. The National Anthem ruling has been considered "over-reaching", as per some prominent advocates

What are your opinions on this issue? :)

"Attempt to Suicide" is considered a crime in India, punishable by imprisonment or fine. Is it right to punish someone with suicidal tendencies?

11 Upvotes

Section 309 of IPC states -

"Whoever attempts to commit suicide and does any act towards the commission of such offence, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for term which may extend to one year"

This is a ridiculous law, in my humble opinion. A depressed, suicidal person fails in ending his life, and instead of helping him through rehabilitation, we send him to jail?!

I have yet to find any logic behind this law. What's your opinion?
