India has been divided before on religion and caste. Let us not create age as a new divide. Do not mistake India’s Gen Z for a generation that does not value patriotism. Those serving at our borders, in our police forces, and in our paramilitary forces are also Gen Z.

Very well spoken. Just heard the interview , you put everything into the right perspective with clarity and conviction. This isn’t flattery, but the way you handled the points, you could have these media personalities for breakfast! Absolutely nailed it. As always it’s a pleasure to hear you handle the media. Although Maria Shakil was very polite and dignified.

Indian Gen Z is making the country proud in the Commonwealth Games, Physics and Chemistry Olympiads, and in cutting-edge tech. Please Don’t confuse that with the tiny hateful crowd at the CJP protest they don’t represent this generation...

Why so many anchors of IndiaToday are talking like this? Supporting lumpens, by grouping them with GenZ students, when most were not students, surely nothing to do with NEET, has become agenda of some. If I watch it's only for one anchor. That's Gaurav.

Modi and BJP are dividing the country based on religion caste and now age. It is NOT a criminal offense to use bad language. It is a criminal offense to issue rape threats. Bur Modi Police will NOt register an FIR against their party workers. RSS R disgusting POS.

Ah alright. Asking questions and protesting against the government is not patriotic. Maybe the government and your supreme leader is not patriotic, thinking they are above all scrutiny and criticism. May God grant you the power to introspect

Very right madam. These people were not Gen . But some misguided youth, frustrated and easily Manipulated. The actual Gen Z are very intelligent, proactive and do love their elders.

🇮🇳 बिल्कुल सही बात। देशभक्ति का संबंध उम्र से नहीं, सोच और कर्म से होता है। हर पीढ़ी का अपना योगदान होता है और Gen Z भी भारत के भविष्य को मजबूत बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रही है। एक भारत, एक भावना। 🇮🇳 #GenZ #India #Unity #Patriotism

Exactly. India doesn’t need another fault line. We’ve paid enough for religion and caste divides. And calling out the whole Gen Z as “unpatriotic” is a lie. Many of Gen Zs are also guarding our borders, in khaki, in uniform. Don’t insult them to push an agenda.

The most under-used person in BJP is @smritiirani. Clear responses, sharp vision and short answers. Grossly under-used political, social and common-sense talent.

+ yes, foul language shouldn’t be used, but when will the current political class take responsibility for normalising abuse culture in assembly/parl to elx rallies? U have seen Jaitley ji Sushma ji I have heard Atal ji, never was filthy language usage normalised earlier -was it?+

India was never divided - politicians try to divide it to gain majority voter confidence. Army , paramilitary and police force are not the only patriots. Patriotism doesn’t always mean to die for the nation. Gen Z has brought a big protest after years so yes they are dope!
