On W News, Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern California Derek Grossman examines the growing youth-led protests in India and the government’s response, including the preemptive detention of protesters ahead of a planned demonstration in New Delhi. He discusses demands for greater government accountability, election integrity, employment opportunities and concerns surrounding alleged changes to voter lists.
Grossman also assesses whether the movement could become a broader political challenge for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and whether connections with Gen Z protest movements in other countries could strengthen the demonstrations.

1. Peaceful protests
2. Youth
3. Women respect
They are used to brute force and intimidation like the 2002 Gujarat genocide under Modi and executed by RSS cadres
