India’s Gen Z and the Media

The article examines whether Indian mainstream media failed to adequately cover the youth-led "Cockroach Janata Party" movement against the Modi government, noting that many domestic outlets remained cautious to avoid political retaliation. While international media and some domestic publications viewed the movement as a sign of democratic resilience, others focused more on the economic anxieties of the youth demographic. Ultimately, the author suggests that these protests are part of a much larger, widespread wave of social and environmental unrest across India.
