Manage episode 440481909 series 3601276
The discussion is between Sunny Sharma and his elder cousins Vinni (Abhishek Kasid) and Tinku (Ranjan Wali).
The India election took place through 7 phases of voting in different regions respectively in india lasting from April 19, 2025 to June 1, 2024.
Is the fact that the BJP won the election but reduced its seat number to 240 a sign of a referendum on either the BJP, Hindutva, or Modi? Was this a consequence of a changing tide in the youth vote where the average age of young people is 28 or by the vote and agency of energized farmers, Muslims, and the lower classes? Is India becoming more polarized, extenuating tribal lines or will competing interests, like competing factions, cancel each other out like a tempestuous sea of liberty rather than a calm despotism to in the end serve the larger interests of the people in India? Are the basic necessities for a thriving democracy such as independent media, free speech, economic opportunities and meritocracy and political education under threat in India?
Was this election a paradigm shift or watershed moment that will witness a revitalization of Indian institutions and renewed faith in our political process? Ultimately will the next generation be able to grasp the opportunity represented by the crisis of civilization occuring for the better?
