This clown thinks speaking loudly is the same as making a logical argument. She equates youth of India is to the likes of Nepal or Bangladesh. What she fails to understand is that Indian youth still largely backs the govt because they see visible development, opportunities and stability. And...

The Cockroach Janta Party and the Fraud of Imported Revolution. (Take 2 minutes to read, please) CJP is a peculiar kind of politics that has appeared overnight. It does not build movements. It does not stand in the sun with students. It does not take lathis outside exam centres, universities or government offices. It waits in the cracks of public frustration and crawls out when there is enough pain to harvest. That is the politics of the Cockroach Janta Party. Its founder Abhijeet Dipke ex-chief strategist of the AAP, wants to speak the language of India’s youth while living at a comfortable distance from the anxieties of that youth, in the US. They want to lecture students on “system change” without understanding what it means for a 23-year-old to spend years preparing for an exam only to see the paper leak, the future pushed back and life being full of uncertainty. They want to sell rebellion like a product, but rebellion in India has never been a foreign-funded seminar, a drawing-room strategy session or a social media stunt. It has been sweat, risk, sacrifice and presence. And that is where their fraud begins. Those who remember the Anna Hazare movement know that India has seen this playbook before. A movement born in the name of anti-corruption was turned into a political launchpad. Arvind Kejriwal, once projected as the moral face of clean politics, eventually entered the very political arena he had claimed to stand above. The anti-corruption moment did produce a party, but Delhi later saw that moral capital collapse under scams, power games and the MASSIVE liquor policy case. The irony writes itself: the movement that claimed to cleanse politics ended up showing how easily outrage can be packaged, captured and converted into power. Anna Hazare’s 2011 anti-corruption campaign had Arvind Kejriwal among its most visible faces, and the movement later led to the decision by Team Anna members to enter politics. The Cockroach Janta Party is simply the latest version of the same experiment, after all gang members learn best from the boss. But Indian youth are not props in somebody’s political start-up. The real power of young India is not in imported cockroaches. It is in those who have repeatedly put their bodies between the people and an arrogant administration. It is in the Indian Youth Congress workers who have been on the streets against paper leaks, unemployment, price rise, exam injustice and institutional apathy. When students are betrayed, they protest. When youth are detained, they still confront. When police barricades are placed before them, they do not discover courage, when money hits the bank. They walk into the barricades. That is the difference between a movement and a marketing campaign. The Indian Youth Congress does not need to pretend to understand the anger of the unemployed, because it has stood with them. It does not need to manufacture solidarity with students, because it has been dragged, detained and bruised while raising their issues. It does not need to borrow the language of resistance from abroad, because its politics is rooted in the grammar of Indian streets: dharna, gherao, memorandum, arrest, march, lathi, comeback. The Cockroach Janta Party wants to appear radical without paying the price of radical politics. It wants the glamour of youth mobilisation without the discipline of organisation. It wants the aesthetics of revolution without the discomfort of accountability. Congress, has something these overnight political experiments will never understand: institutional memory. It has youth workers who know that fighting for students is not a seasonal campaign. It is not a donor-funded experiment. It is a long, exhausting, often thankless struggle against governments that think young people can be managed while their futures are stolen from them. This is why the attempt to sell the Cockroach Janta Party as a youth alternative must be called out clearly. It is a distraction. It is not a people’s uprising. It is an outsourced performance of rebellion. It does not represent Gen Z anger. It tries to colonise it. The youth of India do not need another political cockroach crawling out of crisis and calling itself hope. They need organisations that can fight before elections, during elections and after elections. They need people who do not disappear when the street becomes difficult. They need politics that is willing to bleed a little for them. That is where the Indian Youth Congress stands apart. Because real youth politics is not born in foreign-funded comfort. It is born on Indian roads, outside Indian institutions, in the middle of Indian anger. And unlike the Cockroach Janta Party, it does not crawl out of darkness. It stands in the open. The land of our great nation is witness: the Congress Party is the only party that can fight BJP on the streets. Congress Indian Youth Congress Indian Youth CongressTelangana

🚨 An LGBTQ youth nonprofit says “youth protection” is why sex work isn’t decriminalized, then outlines how to “up” youth sex-trade skills like branding and digital security. Today at a Sex Work Policy Briefing hosted by Brooklyn College professor Alex Vitale, Nadia Swanson (Ali Forney Center) argued: “youth are often used as the reason why we can't, you know, decriminalize sex work… when In reality, like, the sex workers do not need our saving.” She then extended that framing to minors: “We are not their saviors, and that means youth too, right?” Swanson also said that even when young people are in “risky situations or unsafe situations,” “it is not our job or our part of our code of ethics to stop someone from doing what they're doing.” She added: “Our ability to let them have autonomy in any of those stages is what is going to help young people.” She described “the skills that they gain by being in the sex trades” as “income generating skills,” arguing they can be “transferable,” and added: “we can up those skills in digital security, in financial literacy, and safety planning, in branding.” “We can up those skills in digital security, in financial literacy, and safety planning, in branding.” Finally, she framed the aim as ensuring “autonomy and choice in the sex trades if that's their choice.” This language is especially jarring given the Ali Forney Center’s stated mission to “protect LGBTQ youth from the harm of homelessness and to support them in becoming safe and independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood.”
