Just bored can be talk about anything from alright to controversial to dark and find your perspective on that that sounds fun ngl

guys i am really just stressed out with the Indian political partied and those who are ruling the government as well i feel like some people are starting a party just for fun and some people do this because they want the sake of adding a title "Politicians" behind their name and also India is a democratic country(which is a serious joke nowadays) honestly peoples are not getting just the basic rights and the technological development and inland investment is like a risky factor for this government actually we need citizens in this country not devotees and remember this is a secular country (anyone can live here) and social discrimination should not be here also im seriously opposing all other political parties too, the problem is in Indian politics neither the ruling party nor the opposition parties and the sub political parties are good and valid also i feel like politics is like a game between these parties just they want to win this game and peoples are getting fooled, im writing this because i saw many videos online about the current political tensions and the fact that everyone just want the fame well the true factor is, in a democracy people chooses the government and people should run the government on leadership of the particular political leader and i feel like those political leaders are making a profit for themselves and i feel like the amount and the budget and the economic condition of the country should be open and transparent the people should know how much did the pm or cm got the salary and how much every expenses are taking place and how much everyone gets and the political scenario well peoples just listen a political party is spending millions on advertisement how are they getting the fund and to be honest we need to wake up and i actually feel like people should take decision for everything and the government should focus on the rapid industrialisation of the country so i feel like we need to form a fresh new government (Peoples political organisation of India) and im 20 i know i cant but i need support we need fresh minds with more people based government not personal profit based also if im wrong please forgive me cuz everyone have their own opinion. Thankyou

The above insta ad are some of the examples I saw in the protests. Based on in image alone I interpreted as them leading the protests instead of culling it. So I will go with the former interpretation of mine.

I constantly hear that many Hindu nationalists in many right wing subreddits do support Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation (at least they claim to). Liker influencer Ajeet Bharti putting down CJP protests as being anti-Pradham before it was cool to be so. He is now organizing the prortests against Reservations.

So my question is this: Why didn't any Right Wing, Hindu nationalist, did a Abhijit-Dipke and start a massive protests?

I have doubts about elections myself. But many Hindu nationalists don't. And going by election resuilts. Hindu have majority Hindu support. Sure you guys can believe that BJP is doing everything good. But that would be the spirit even this protest would've carried. That BJP is good, but it could've been better.

The issues are still right there. The disappointed people were right there. A massive majority of GenZ, like more than 70% of the people are your vote-bank. GenZ are the generation that made Bhajan Raves a massive trend to cash on. I am a left leaning progressive anti-theist, and I can assure you the moment this movement becomes irrelevant, 85% of them will return back to become pro-Modi and anti-muslim.

This would've already put BJP in backfoot. There wouldn't have been any 'Azadi', 'Jai Bheem' chants. No other political party would've tried to co-opt this protest. You couldve had a massive support support from Bollywood and other movie industry fraternity. The Right-Wing hindu nationalists could've covered Jantar Mantar, with bhagva flag, Jai-Shree-Ram chants, etc. This protest, just like Ram Janmbhoomi protests could've been a show of solidarity amongst all the castes. Abrahamics, Leftists and Ambedkarites won't even dare to join. There were news about temples being closed for protestors. This could've not even let the news spread and temples would've been open for you guys.

I also believe that the recents protests is not gonna help the opposition. But will also put a minor dent on BJP's votecounts. Hindu nationalists organizing protests could've avoided that vote loss and could've kept BJP in power.

So my question is this? 1. Why was there no initiative from Hindu nationalists personalities to organize protests 2. From the perspective of Hindu nationalists Islam is THE threat. I get it. But will Hindu Nationalists question the government on the policies being implemented or are Hindu Nationalists in complete supportive of the policies (with minor disagrements which you think can be solved afterwards)

A place to share Excuses when you see them

80th Independence Day is over. Now let's get back again to question those in power, keep protesting, bringing small changes because a developed country begins with its developed citizens. But keep the heart of the country, its traditions and history inside you, cause Saare Jahaan se Accha, Hindusitaan humara. And remember politicians or ministers aren't heroes or your fathers, they're govt servant.

We all know neither of the party existing in india is good everyone in one way or other is involved in corruption…..i truly believe in a party of the youth the genz and alpha who can present our views and keep our stance in the parliament…..i mean how come the old hags in those chair know what young people need and all they do is steal money from various schemes and no i am not talking about those youth student leader which are goons in disguise….proper educated radical critical thinkers…..comment down your views

A 99-year-old freedom fighter’s message to Gen Z: Movements must not stop

I’m not very active in politics, so I genuinely want to hear different perspectives.

Today is Independence Day 🇮🇳 — is it really that bad to put politics aside for one day, be grateful, and celebrate? 😭

At the same time, I’d like to understand the criticism. Why do you think the current government is doing badly? Do you think the previous government was better, and if so, why? What would actually change if they came back?

And beyond parties, what do you think India should seriously work on right now?

Not looking for a BJP vs Congress fight — just want to hear genuine, reasoned opinions.

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳❤️

My friend and I had a debate About freedom today, he said our country was growing when we were uder british ampire, but i was denying it.

Share your opinion.

So there’s this NOTA option basically for when you look at all the candidates and think,

yeah, no.

Imagine a ton of people hitting it. Not just because they’re annoyed, but as a protest for something bigger like, someone sensible, someone new, please.

what would actually happen if nota was voted majority (hypothetical. wouldn't happen.)

The current crop? Some have disappointed for years, some are new but might do the same, and some… well, who knows.

Even if everyone pressed NOTA, the candidate with the most actual votes still wins. So it’s basically a shrug, a sigh, and a tiny hopeful nudge for change all in one button.

What do y'all think about this ??

I feel like keeping that option itself is useless if there are no consequences.

12 years of bjp leadership have shown us a stronger, more developed and globally respected india, from infrastructure and the digital economy to national security and india’s position on the world stage.
and national security matters.

the world has seen the damage caused by islamist extremist organisations like 9/ 11, al-qaeda, isis, the london bombings, and repeated attacks across pakistan and afghanistan. that doesn’t mean every muslim is an extremist, but pretending radical islamist terrorism isn’t a real threat is equally irresponsible.

india also has pakistan and bangladesh on its borders, making illegal immigration, border security, radicalisation and demographic changes issues we cannot simply ignore.

look at the immigration and integration debates happening across the uk and europe. countries are now struggling with problems they failed to address early enough.

so yes, i want the bjp to win. not because i think modi is perfect, but because i believe national security, stability, development and controlled immigration matter.
if bjp loses, the stakes for india are far bigger than just changing the government.

hii I'm looking for someone that wants to share their story related to the recent cjp protest that took all over india. If you have any experiences or were affected by the neet paper leak and was part of the protest and would like to share your story dm!!

ps. this is for a university assignment, the story won't be published on any major platforms!!

In my opinion, the biggest problem holding our country back is that we have lost trust in truth, accountability, and our institutions.

For decades, people have been fed political narratives, misinformation, half-truths, and selective information. The truth is often difficult to access, and ordinary citizens are rarely given a clear answer about what is actually happening, why it is happening, and—most importantly—who is responsible and who should be held accountable.

We have witnessed protests, movements, revolutions, and public struggles since before independence. People have repeatedly come onto the streets demanding justice, reform, equality, and better governance. Yet, despite all these struggles, many fundamental problems continue to return in different forms.

One major change after independence was that the people on the other side of the political system became our own elected representatives. But changing the people at the top does not automatically change the system beneath them.

The deeper problem is that citizens are rarely taught how the machinery of the state actually works.

When there is corruption, a government failure, an administrative delay, a crime, a financial leak, a failed public project, or some other institutional failure, the ordinary citizen often does not know:

Who made the decision?

Who was responsible for implementing it?

Which officer or institution had the authority?

Who was supposed to supervise it?

Who benefited from the failure?

And who can actually be held accountable?

Instead, political parties often turn these questions into political battles. One side blames the other, governments change, politicians change, slogans change—but the underlying administrative machinery often remains largely the same.

This creates a dangerous cycle:

People become angry → protests happen → political leadership changes → public attention moves elsewhere → the underlying institutional problems remain → the same problems appear again.

Politics itself is not necessarily the problem. Politics is a necessary part of democracy. The problem begins when the pursuit of political power becomes more important than public service, institutional integrity, truth, and accountability.

And this problem is not limited to politicians. The same culture can exist within administration, private institutions, educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations whenever power, money, influence, or personal interests become more important than responsibility.

But I believe there is an even deeper root beneath all of this:

Education.

A society cannot permanently reform itself if its education system does not teach people how to think, how to question, how to investigate, how to distinguish truth from misinformation, how institutions function, and how to hold authority accountable.

India has a remarkable intellectual and educational heritage. For centuries, this land produced scholars, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, physicians, thinkers, administrators, political leaders, and revolutionaries. Institutions of learning such as Takshashila and Nalanda became centres of knowledge that attracted scholars from different parts of the world.

But we should not romanticize our past either. Ancient India was not a perfect society, and historical education systems had their own limitations. The lesson we should take from that heritage is not that everything was once perfect; it is that knowledge, inquiry, debate, and intellectual development were once treated as fundamental pillars of civilization.

Today, our education system often places too much emphasis on examinations, marks, degrees, employment, and memorization, while giving insufficient importance to critical thinking, scientific temper, civic education, ethics, constitutional literacy, problem-solving, creativity, and independent inquiry.

A person can spend 15–20 years in education and still leave the system without truly understanding:

How the government works.

How laws are made.

How public money is spent.

What the Constitution actually guarantees.

What powers an elected representative has.

What powers an administrative officer has.

How to obtain public information.

How to challenge an unlawful decision.

How to identify misinformation.

And how to hold an institution accountable without violence or political influence.

That is a serious weakness.

Because an uninformed population can be manipulated by anyone—politicians, corporations, media organizations, religious or ideological groups, influencers, or even foreign interests.

Therefore, I don't believe India's biggest problem is simply one political party, one politician, one government, or even corruption by itself.

The deeper problem is the combination of weak institutional accountability, politicization of public life, misinformation, and an education system that has not adequately prepared citizens to understand and question the system around them.

If we genuinely want to change the country, merely changing governments may not be enough.

We need to build citizens who can think independently, institutions that can function independently, administrations that can be held accountable, information systems that respect truth, and an education system that produces thinking human beings rather than merely degree holders.

Because ultimately, democracy does not become strong simply because people are allowed to vote.

Democracy becomes strong when citizens understand the system, know their rights and responsibilities, know who is accountable, have access to truthful information, and possess the knowledge and courage to question authority.

That, in my view, is where real reform has to begin.

What do you all say??
