‘क्या चुनाव लड़ेगी CJP?’ Saurav Das & Ratna Singh Speaks Openly EXCLUSIVE

FROM INSTAGRAM TO JANTAR MANTAR: HOW STUDENTS CHANGED THE POLITICAL CONVERSATION By Saurabh Shukla A movement that began online culminated in one of the most closely watched student agitations in recent years. Thousands of young people occupied Jantar Mantar, sustained weeks of protests, and celebrated after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Can this become a lasting political force, or was it a singular moment driven by a specific cause? VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS 🔹 Social media campaign evolves into a nationwide student movement 🔹 Weeks of protests end with the minister’s resignation 🔹 Students call for greater youth participation in politics 🔹 Legal action planned over alleged police excesses ⸻ [02:27] VICTORY AT JANTAR MANTAR The movement’s central demand has been achieved. Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. Weeks of demonstrations at Jantar Mantar ended in celebration as students described the moment as proof that sustained democratic mobilisation can influence public life. “आई थिंक वो उसने बता दिया कि फ्यूचर का रिस्पांसिबिलिटी अब युवा के हाथों में है एंड युवा पीछे नहीं हट रहा वो रिस्पांसिबिलिटी लेने से” [03:03] ⸻ [04:58] A NEW PROTEST CULTURE The generation often labelled as “chronically online” turned digital networks into an organisational engine. Social media became the planning room, while Delhi’s streets became the arena where the movement sustained itself for weeks. “जब सीरियस होना होता है हम सीरियस होते हैं जब कोल्ड कॉफी पीने का टाइम आता है तब कोल्ड कॉफी भी पी लेते हैं और इस्तीफा भी ले चले जाते हैं मंत्रियों का” [05:31] ⸻ [08:28] YOUTH ENTER THE POLITICAL SPACE Movement leaders argued that symbolic outreach to young voters is no longer enough. They said India’s youth must play a larger role in policymaking and electoral politics rather than remaining spectators. “मुझे लगता है कि टाइम आ चुका है कि जो युवा है वो ज्यादा से ज्यादा पॉलिटिक्स में घुसे” [08:28] ⸻ [11:13] QUESTIONS FOR THE MEDIA The speakers criticised sections of television media, alleging that the protest received limited attention during its most difficult days. After the resignation, they said they wanted to engage directly with news channels and question their coverage. “धन्यवाद शुक्रिया तो मैंने किसी को नहीं किया लेकिन मैं जरूर यह चाहता था कि मैं जाऊं ऐसे गोदी मीडिया चैनल्स में एंड मैं उनकी बातें सुनूं एंड उनका क्या रिएक्शन हो रहा है वो भी मैं पर्सनली सुनूं” [11:13] ⸻ [12:36] THE LEGAL BATTLE CONTINUES Organisers said the movement will now focus on pursuing legal remedies over alleged unlawful detentions and police action in several states. They claim evidence is being compiled for court proceedings. “बिहार में अभी मुझे एक लॉयर से मैसेज आया कि 100 से ज्यादा बच्चों को डिटेन करा हुआ है” [14:02] ⸻ ♦️The movement illustrates how digital organising, sustained public demonstrations, and legal advocacy can reinforce one another in contemporary student politics. ♦️ Support independent journalism at The Red Mike to help amplify stories from the ground. #theredmike #genz #studentprotest #jantarmantar #studentpower #cjp Join this channel to get access to perks: @theredmike. ♦️The Red Mike is a new movement in centrist Journalism.
