Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome Anish Gawande, National Spokesperson for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Gawande, India's student protests represent a generational rupture in Indian politics: the emergence of a politically fearless youth challenging a decade-long "architecture of fear" under Narendra Modi's government. He contends that the movement is about accountability rather than education policy, exposing a widening gap between a government accustomed to political dominance and a generation unwilling to accept opacity or state intimidation.
