00:00:00in the history of space,
00:00:03there are stories that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:00:07mentioned in the 136th episode of his Mann Ki Baat program.
00:00:10Watch with me, Good News JAZBAA INDIA's special episode this Sunday at
00:00:147:30 PM, only on
00:00:18DV News.
00:00:21Is their aim to select Decode is powered by Mongia Steel, the king of steel.
00:00:25report will also be checked
00:00:27students are rejected Punjab National Bank, symbol of trust.
00:00:49that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that the Gen Z movement
00:00:53is not against the country, and we should listen to them and
00:00:57engage in dialogue with them. He said that Gen Z
00:01:00is far more honest and patriotic than our generation, so
00:01:04their intentions should not be questioned. After the ongoing movement at Jantar Mantar,
00:01:08to take the exam, an atmosphere was created across the country
00:01:11regarding Gen Z, that this entire generation is bad
00:01:16not come with and they are all anti-national.
00:01:21not form a common merit. Today, we will first decode this dialogue between Mohan Bhagwat and Gen Z.
00:01:24After this, we will show you a bitter truth
00:01:28about India's examination system. In our country, the success rate of the UPSC exam
00:01:31is only
00:01:330.17%. That is, less than half a percent.
00:01:38due to just half a mark In the year 2025, out of 576 thousand
00:01:41candidates, only 958
00:01:45students were successful in UPSC, they passed, and
00:01:48the rest were considered rejected.
00:01:52The entire system of competitive exams
00:01:54have received medals is actually less about finding merit
00:01:57and more about elimination. Have you ever thought
00:02:01what happens to the 99%
00:02:04candidates who get rejected in these exams?
00:02:07And finally, we will tell you the truth about Gen Z's very negligible
00:02:11participation in Indian politics.
00:02:14India has the largest Gen Z population
00:02:17in the world, 38 crore, but
00:02:21even then, there are only six MPs
00:02:24and 20 MLAs from Gen Z across the country.
00:02:28Today, the big question is whether Gen Z's
00:02:31representation in our country's parliament and assemblies
00:02:34should now increase. The RSS chief
00:02:37today spoke with the youth of the country on many issues,
00:02:41including Gen Z education and reservation, and around 2,000
00:02:44students from nearly 100 cities across the country
00:02:47participated. Today, the world's largest voluntary
00:02:50organization, the RSS, has held its biggest dialogue with India's new generation,
00:02:54nearly 38 crore Gen Z and 35 crore Gen Alpha.
00:02:58Those born between
00:03:001997 and 2012
00:03:04are called Gen Z, and
00:03:07you will also have to attach today their age is between 14 and 29
00:03:09years. So today I will tell you
00:03:13that at the place in Mumbai where I am standing today, a very big
00:03:17event took place. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was present here.
00:03:21There were about two thousand Gen Z children
00:03:24here, students. Most of them were school students.
00:03:27And
00:03:31today, all the questions that Gen Z had in their minds
00:03:36He is counted among those were asked to Mohan Bhagwat ji, and he answered them one by one.
00:03:40So first, I will show you Mohan Bhagwat ji's
00:03:43most important statement today. Watch this first.
00:03:46The movement is also a way of dialogue.
00:03:50है
00:03:54We are sitting here and talking, if it's understood, fine.
00:03:57Otherwise, our
00:04:18and unsuccessful students.
00:04:27BJP, or similarly for other parties.
00:04:37youthful energy and new thinking.
00:05:02every child was behaving with there is a lot that needs to be done in Indian education. It's not happening in this regard.
00:05:05When we were people, when we were of Gen Z's age,
00:05:09our generation's nature was such
00:05:11That's why the term "brown sahib" that we would accept what the elders said.
00:05:14We wouldn't question it.
00:05:17That was the situation at that time.
00:05:19Now Gen
00:05:22Z, they ask questions, they need logical answers,
00:05:26correct?
00:05:29And with that, they need love.
00:05:30चाहिए,
00:05:33If there is love, then only can we answer. If we don't know each other,
00:05:36there's no relationship between us, and you ask a question, I'll say,
00:05:40"Who are you to ask?" That's how it'll be.
00:05:43But if we know each other, and there's some relationship, then if you ask, I'll answer.
00:05:47So these talks should
00:05:50happen.
00:05:53In a democracy, this is the way.
00:05:55In English, it's called debate,
00:05:59but we have a word here, Shastrartha.
00:06:01In that, there's no वाद and प्रतिवाद
00:06:05(argument and counter-argument). There's पूर्व पक्ष and उत्तर पक्ष
00:06:09(proponent and opponent). So we all look at the arguments, and
00:06:44so the problem here is that in our society, people who earn
00:06:48good money, but they are laborers, then
00:06:51they don't get prestige, they don't get
00:06:55respect in society. And we need to bring
00:06:58dignity of labor into our society. We need to respect them,
00:07:02and gradually after that, people will start
00:07:05doing their work. People who are earning their livelihood by doing
00:07:08any work, they will not feel ashamed
00:07:12that people think we are doing some small work. No work is small or big.
00:07:16You have to talk about this for everyone.
00:07:18पड़ेगी,
00:07:22But
00:07:24here, if I summarize
00:07:27this entire dialogue for you,
00:07:30if I extract
00:07:32its essence,
00:07:36then many people were thinking that perhaps Mohan
00:07:40Bhagwat would say something different from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
00:07:43Many people came looking for the spice
00:07:47that there might be some differences between the RSS and the BJP or the government.
00:07:51However, the RSS chief did not mention
00:07:54the government even once. He did not mention
00:07:57Prime Minister Modi even once. But there are
00:08:01many similarities in their thinking.
00:08:05For example, when at Jantar Mantar
00:08:07so many obscene videos
00:08:10were made about Prime Minister Modi, in which very abusive language
00:08:14was used against him, this became a very big issue. But what did Prime Minister Modi
00:08:18say? He said, "These are our own children. I
00:08:22want to forgive all of them. These are not someone else's children; they are our own children,
00:08:25children of this country. Mistakes happen. We should sit with these children
00:08:29and explain to them, and I forgive all these children,
00:08:33and I want to work for the country
00:08:36with them."
00:08:38हूं,
00:08:40RSS chief Bhagwat also said almost the same thing,
00:08:44that he trusts the youth. Our Gen Z youth
00:08:47are not bad; they need love, they also want to ask questions,
00:08:51but at the same time, they also need love. And he also said
00:08:55that Gen Z are children of our family; it is our responsibility
00:08:59to care for them, guide them, and show them the right
00:09:02direction. So if
00:09:06you look at the ideologies of both of them on this entire matter,
00:09:10the ideologies and the thinking are almost the same
00:09:14for both.
00:09:17One more thing, after this dialogue, the atmosphere
00:09:20that prevailed in our country regarding Gen Z was that Gen Z
00:09:24is becoming very ill-mannered, their language is becoming very bad. Gen Z
00:09:28जेंजी,
00:09:31makes videos in such bad, indecent language,
00:09:34they have nothing to do with principles.
00:09:38I want to tell you my experience today. There is an organization,
00:09:41है,
00:10:15full responsibility, and imagine, such young children
00:10:18had
00:10:20this dialogue with Mohan Bhagwat ji. This
00:10:23was
00:10:26you understand that
00:10:29they kept
00:10:31silently
00:10:34listening to his words. I
00:10:37was thinking that Mohan Bhagwat ji is 75 years old,
00:10:41and the children who were here today were all 17,
00:10:4418 years old, at most 20 years old.
00:10:48But look at the dialogue, Gen Z, school
00:10:52children, are sitting in front, under 20 years old,
00:10:55and in front is 75-year-old Mohan
00:10:58Bhagwat. And on the other hand, if you look at Delhi, then
00:11:02there is 75-year-old Prime Minister Narendra
00:11:05Modi. Now in our country, you see, 75-year-old
00:11:09Mohan Bhagwat and 75-year-old Narendra Modi
00:11:13are talking to Gen Z, they are being talked to in their language.
00:11:16Mohan Bhagwat today had a very
00:11:20interesting dialogue with the children.
00:11:23Some things he said in Hindi, some things he said in English,
00:11:27and all in all, you can say that the dialogue
00:11:31was very good.
00:11:31था
00:11:35Today, Prime Minister Modi attended the convocation ceremony of IIT Delhi.
00:11:39In this program, he said that every generation has
00:11:43its own challenges and responsibilities, and for this generation, the coming
00:11:46time is even more challenging. And in the next 35 years,
00:11:50the work of this generation will be the foundation of a developed India.
00:11:54Prime Minister Modi told the students not to just ask questions,
00:11:57but also to show the courage to find solutions. He said that today many students have received
00:12:04medals for their achievements, but if there were more girls among them,
00:12:07it would have been even better.
00:12:09Today,
00:12:13many
00:12:15students
00:12:19for their achievements.
00:12:22I congratulate everyone
00:12:26very much for this.
00:12:29But if there were one or two more daughters, it would have been even better.
00:12:42Sorry, why one or two? There should have been more.
00:12:44थी,
00:12:48Today at IIT Delhi,
00:12:52some AI-related
00:12:55initiatives have also been started. For this,
00:12:58I also wish
00:13:01all of you many congratulations.
00:13:04Friends,
00:13:07today
00:13:09all of you and all
00:13:12the students,
00:13:15I am not Baba Bageshwar,
00:13:17हूं,
00:13:21but something must be going on.
00:13:23Friends, you all know
00:13:26that every generation
00:13:28faces
00:13:31its own challenges during that time period.
00:13:33है
00:13:36And every generation also has its own
00:13:39national responsibility.
00:13:41Our country
00:13:45has also seen that time of slavery
00:13:48when
00:13:51that generation had
00:13:54only one goal,
00:13:57the independence of India.
00:14:00For that,
00:14:03they made sacrifices,
00:14:06struggled for a long time.
00:14:09Today we
00:14:12are breathing in independent India.
00:14:16Behind this is the penance,
00:14:19sacrifice, and martyrdom
00:14:23of that generation. And friends, in today's era,
00:14:27we have different challenges,
00:14:31and therefore our responsibilities are also different.
00:14:34In the next
00:14:3730-35 years
00:14:41of your life,
00:14:44whatever you do
00:14:47will influence our journey towards a developed India.
00:14:50Today our
00:14:53youth are building their own launch vehicles,
00:14:57launching rockets,
00:15:00and achieving such feats
00:15:04that only a select few countries
00:15:08in the world have achieved.
00:15:10I am confident
00:15:13that today somewhere
00:15:16a young engineer of the country
00:15:19is proudly saying,
00:15:23है,
00:15:26"First in my bloodline to build
00:15:28a rocket."
00:16:08And I firmly believe
00:16:12that everything from chips to ships
00:16:15will be built right here by your hands.
00:16:19बनेगा
00:16:25And some young person is confidently saying
00:16:29today that in this sector, the youth are creating
00:16:33new possibilities.
00:16:35Somewhere drones are being used in fields.
00:16:37Drones are delivering medicines.
00:16:40Drones are helping in the country's defense and security.
00:16:44And today
00:16:47some young person is saying,
00:16:50"First in my bloodline
00:16:54to make a drone."
00:16:56Friends,
00:16:59India's startup revolution has been shaped
00:17:03and strengthened by youth like you
00:17:06from this generation.
00:17:09So many founders have emerged
00:17:12from this institute. If so much can happen
00:17:15from one institute,
00:17:19then imagine how much great power
00:17:23is being prepared across the country.
00:17:25I have seen the journey
00:17:28of many IIT alumni. The reason for their success
00:17:32was
00:17:36that they identified
00:17:40those questions that the world
00:17:43had
00:17:47stopped considering as questions. They
00:17:49था,
00:17:52sought solutions
00:17:55to those problems with which
00:17:59others had already compromised.
00:18:03And
00:18:06therefore, in
00:18:09life, maintain
00:18:11curiosity, keep your learning instinct
00:18:15alive,
00:18:18keep it awakened. Maintain
00:18:21consciousness. The things that are accepted
00:18:24without
00:18:27thinking, just
00:18:31examine them. Question
00:18:34them. But don't
00:18:37just ask questions.
00:18:40Also have
00:18:42the courage
00:18:44to find their solutions.
00:18:48This thinking
00:18:51will create
00:18:54your distinct identity.
00:18:57Campus life
00:19:01जीवन
00:19:04and life outside campus,
00:19:08there is a very big difference
00:19:12between these two.
00:19:13है,
00:19:18In IIT exams, there is a syllabus,
00:19:20है,
00:19:22but in the exam of life, everything
00:19:25is out of syllabus.
00:19:28है,
00:19:35In our country, the cockroach movement
00:19:37lasted for 35 days. There were many slogans, big celebrities
00:19:41and leaders participated in this movement, and they wanted big changes
00:19:44to happen in the country, but this movement, which started with paper leaks,
00:19:48was limited to the issue of the resignation
00:19:52of India's Education Minister. In this entire movement,
00:19:55many things were said against India and Prime Minister Modi,
00:19:59and there was disinformation, but no one talked about what changes
00:20:02should be made in our country's examination system.
00:20:06Today we will decode
00:20:09the bitter truth of India's examination system for you,
00:20:13and the biggest truth is this picture
00:20:16of how millions of students in India every
00:20:20year go through private schools, tuition
00:20:23classes, coaching centers, and online
00:20:26courses to reach competitive
00:20:30exams. Today, this is the situation
00:20:33of our country that we have told you. The entire country is giving exams.
00:20:36Millions of students are sitting in exams
00:20:40in every corner of the country. You will feel that all the youth
00:20:44of the country are doing the same thing. When goods come out of this factory,
00:20:47successful competitors emerge from this factory. But this factory costs a lot of money.
00:20:51In India,
00:20:53every
00:20:56year, millions of our country's youth take competitive exams,
00:20:59but have you ever wondered what the real purpose of these exams
00:21:03is? Do these exams select
00:21:07the best student? Do they select the most qualified student?
00:21:11the most qualified students for the country?
00:21:14Or is it to make millions of youth realize
00:21:18that they are not qualified? That they are rejected?
00:21:22That is, these exams focus more on weeding out
00:21:26than on testing merit. The primary purpose of these exams
00:21:29is to weed out. In the beginning, weed out 98 out of 100 people.
00:21:32They are all useless. The Union
00:21:35Public Service Commission, or UPSC, is considered the biggest exam
00:21:39in our country, the most prestigious exam, where entry into civil services
00:21:43happens. IAS, IPS, IFS are made
00:21:47by passing this exam. In the year 2025,
00:21:50576 thousand students
00:21:53appeared for the UPSC exam. Consider it almost 5.75 lakh,
00:21:56out of which only 14,161
00:22:00students qualified for the written, i.e., main examination,
00:22:04while only 2,736
00:22:07students reached the interview stage. The success rate of UPSC
00:22:11is 0.17%.
00:22:14Please remember this.
00:22:18रखिएगा
00:22:20The success rate is 17% for the UPSC exam, meaning
00:22:24not even half a percent of people pass.
00:22:28If we compare the students who appeared for the interview in this exam,
00:22:3135% students were successful, and in the interview too,
00:22:3565% of students were eliminated, they failed,
00:22:37they were rejected. But were the students who failed
00:22:41really unqualified?
00:22:44Was there really any lack in their merit, any lack in their hard work,
00:22:48any lack in their effort? Were there so few seats
00:22:51that they had no chance of succeeding?
00:22:54So these few seats
00:22:57also cause a lot of injustice. In our country,
00:23:01competitive exams have now become less of a merit test
00:23:04and more of an elimination machine.
00:23:08The future of students is decided by even one mark, and even
00:23:11a loss of half a mark can change your entire life,
00:23:15your entire career. Even with half a mark less, the question is
00:23:19whether such a fine line can exist between talent and
00:23:22incompetence. Can you decide with just
00:23:25half a mark that this student is talented
00:23:29and this student is useless? Every year,
00:23:32millions of youth take UPSC, SSC, Railway,
00:23:35Banking, State Public Service Commission, NEET, etc.
00:23:39Many jobs, but only one can get it. So 99 candidates
00:23:43will be out anyway. This
00:23:46does not mean that the other 99 people had no ability.
00:23:50The other 99 people do not have merit, do not have hard work, do not have capability.
00:23:53It only means that the opportunities
00:23:57are very limited, jobs are very
00:24:00limited, and from here a very big industry
00:24:03stands up, where
00:24:07demand is very high and supply is very low.
00:24:11Today, competitive exams are not just about studying, but have become
00:24:14a very big business. Today, every candidate
00:24:18wants to become a customer of the success rate
00:24:22by doing coaching, test series, and online courses, and who knows what else.
00:24:25They want to see their name in the list of successful
00:24:28candidates.
00:24:32The more competition there is, the more business there will be,
00:24:36the more money will be earned. That means education no longer remains
00:24:39just a learning process, but becomes an expensive
00:24:42economic race, which is in our country. When there will be millions of candidates
00:24:46and only a few thousand seats, then the price of a question
00:24:49paper will go into crores of rupees. That's why question papers are leaked.
00:24:53In such a situation, big gangs who leak question papers,
00:24:56gangs who facilitate cheating, fake
00:25:00candidates, and the game of corruption begin. In our country,
00:25:03the word merit is used for both successful
00:25:08The one who succeeded has merit,
00:25:11and the one who failed does not have merit.
00:25:15In our country, this idea of merit is based on the system
00:25:19and thinking of the British government 100 years
00:25:22ago. In 1835, British
00:25:26उनकी सोच पर आधारित है, वर्ष 1835 में ब्रिटेन
00:25:30historian and politician Lord
00:25:33Macaulay made several recommendations
00:25:36for reforming India's education system. All these are his
00:25:40ideas. Lord Macaulay had said that we need to
00:25:43create a class in India that is Indian in blood
00:25:47and class, Indian in identity by blood,
00:25:51but its interests, its moral
00:25:54ideals, and its intellect should be like the British.
00:25:57They should think like the British.
00:26:01is often used for them, meaning a sahib
00:26:05whose skin color is brown, but thinks like the British.
00:26:08Lord Macaulay's idea was that English is necessary
00:26:12to connect the people of India with modern knowledge, and
00:26:16his policy changed the direction of the education system,
00:26:20which affected our country's examination system and for the first time, this
00:26:24merit-based system came, in which 99% of our
00:26:29by saying that they do not have merit. On Macaulay's recommendation,
00:26:32the Civil Services Commission was established in our country
00:26:36in 1854, which after independence
00:26:39became known as UPSC. Its name was kept UPSC.
00:26:43In the year 1864,
00:26:46Rabindranath Tagore's elder brother Satyendranath Tagore was the first
00:26:50Indian to pass this exam. At that time,
00:26:53people in India had to go to London to take the exam
00:26:57and study European subjects. So imagine, in that era,
00:27:00in that century, in the period of 1864, 65, 70,
00:27:03how many people from India
00:27:07could go to London
00:27:10who could study European subjects. Even today, in most exams
00:27:14in our country, including UPSC,
00:27:17emphasis is placed on the same
00:27:21Now there is a need to change this examination system.
00:27:24Small fine-tuning will not do anything.
00:27:27There is a need to bring a new fundamental
00:27:31change. Its entire structure, the thinking behind it,
00:27:35needs to be changed. Students whose future changes forever
00:27:40or one mark should also get a chance, because
00:27:44they do not lack merit. One student has 99%,
00:27:47another student has 99%, so do
00:27:51you think there is a big difference between them? And for this,
00:27:55today we want to give three suggestions to the country.
00:27:58First, there should be a National Talent Pool in our country.
00:28:02Its creation should happen. In this, those candidates who were slightly behind
00:28:06the cutoff percentage should be kept for at least three or
00:28:09five years. Instead of conducting new exams,
00:28:13these students should be recruited into government departments,
00:28:16in various state governments, in jobs,
00:28:20instead of having countless exams for different departments,
00:28:24different state governments every time. You should create a National
00:28:27Talent Pool across the country. You might have seen that
00:28:30in our country, we also have a talent pool for cricket.
00:28:34Today, in our country, there are at least 40-50
00:28:37contracted players from BCCI, from whom we select 11
00:28:41and then keep rotating them. Similarly, a talent
00:28:45pool of youth and students
00:28:48should exist in our country, saying that these are our brightest
00:28:51talents, this is the talent pool of students.
00:28:54Second, instead of merit,
00:28:58instead of cutoff percentages, a merit band
00:29:01system should be implemented. For example,
00:29:05the abilities of those who score 95% to 100%
00:29:08marks are almost the same. You cannot say that a child
00:29:11who scored 98% is less talented
00:29:15and a child with 99% is more talented.
00:29:18Therefore, they should be placed in the same category.
00:29:21We can create different categories like 95 to 100%,
00:29:2490 to 95%, 85 to 90%,
00:29:28and place them in a merit band. Then, based on the needs of different departments,
00:29:32their skill tests,
00:29:35and interviews, students should be selected from this merit
00:29:39band. And thirdly, the examination calendar
00:29:43should be implemented on time. For example,
00:29:47in our country, most exams often get delayed, and
00:29:50results can take months, sometimes even years. Especially in exams held by state governments.
00:29:54Now, for every recruitment, there should also be a law for this.
00:29:58These are two-three things that we want to put before the people of the country,
00:30:02before the students, before the governments, today.
00:30:06Where did competitive exams for government jobs
00:30:08first start? They started in China.
00:30:12In China, the competitive examination
00:30:16system started in the seventh century, where officials were selected
00:30:19based on written exams, not on birth or recommendation.
00:30:23This system has been going on in China for about 1300 years.
00:30:27After this, in the 18th and
00:30:3019th centuries, other countries also started adopting
00:30:34a merit-based recruitment system. Germany started conducting exams
00:30:38for high administrative positions in 1743,
00:30:41while France, after the revolution of 1789,
00:30:45made its government The principle of appointment based on merit
00:30:49for positions was adopted. For a long time in Britain,
00:30:53government jobs were only available through recommendations. But then,
00:30:56in 1855, the Civil
00:30:59Service Commission was formed, and in 1870,
00:31:03competitive examinations were made mandatory for most
00:31:06government jobs. It's
00:31:10good to conduct examinations.
00:31:12It's good to have competition. But in an exam where you
00:31:16know that only half a percent of children will succeed, what will you do with the remaining
00:31:2099.5% students? Today,
00:31:23you also have to think about
00:31:27this. This protest at Jantar Mantar has actually taught the country a lot.
00:31:30It has also taught politicians a lot, and
00:31:34a lot is changing after this. After this
00:31:37protest, the biggest challenge for political parties
00:31:41is whether the reels that are seen on Instagram
00:31:44today will also translate
00:31:48into votes tomorrow.
00:31:50These Gen Z children, when they become voters, who
00:31:54will they vote for? In the year
00:31:572029, in the next Lok Sabha elections,
00:32:00Gen Z will emerge as the biggest
00:32:03vote bank. Gen Z's share of total
00:32:07voters will be between 29 and 33%. This is a very
00:32:10large chunk, and the number of Gen Z
00:32:14in the next election will be approximately 38 crores.
00:32:17If 38 crore people wish, they can overturn the
00:32:20results of any election. Every third
00:32:24voter will be Gen Z. In
00:32:28the next Lok Sabha elections, there will be approximately 5 to 6 crore
00:32:32new voters, and all of them will be
00:32:35Gen Z. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan,
00:32:39and Madhya Pradesh are the states with the most Gen Z voters,
00:32:42and here, 31.5 to 37%
00:32:45Gen Z voters will be present. A total
00:32:49of 188 Lok Sabha seats are in these states
00:32:53alone, which you are seeing on your screen. And here, you can see
00:32:56that Gen Z will account for approximately 32 to 37%
00:33:00of the total voters. Gen Z voters
00:33:03will have a direct impact on 188 Lok Sabha seats.
00:33:06Only three large states in the country - Kerala,
00:33:09Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh - have
00:33:13Gen Z voters with a population of 22
00:33:17to 25%. Even here,
00:33:20there are 84 Lok Sabha seats in these states. Therefore,
00:33:24the 2029 election will not
00:33:27just be fought between political parties, but rather
00:33:31it will be a contest between social media algorithms,
00:33:34ideologies circulating on social media,
00:33:37Instagram, and EVMs. Gen Z
00:33:40is not a prisoner of any fixed ideology.
00:33:43They don't have a fixed ideology. They don't think like BJP
00:33:47or Congress. That means this generation
00:33:51is neither left, nor left-winger, nor right-winger. They are not in any
00:33:54camp. They don't have any fixed
00:33:58ideology. They determine their votes
00:34:02based on emotions, issues, and immediate experience.
00:34:05Gen Z is not
00:34:09a permanent vote bank of any party, any ideology, any state, or any region.
00:34:13They are not a permanent vote bank of any leader.
00:34:15Rather, they are floating voters. They are sitting on the border line.
00:34:18They can go anywhere. Earlier, the vote bank in India
00:34:21was formed on the basis of caste,
00:34:24religion, and regional identity. But now
00:34:28social media has created a new identity, and that is
00:34:31digital identity.
00:34:34And what is digital identity? Digital identity
00:34:37for today's youth is not coming from their caste,
00:34:41not from their region, not from their religion.
00:34:45Digital identity is coming from what kind of content they create,
00:34:48what they think, what they think about life,
00:34:52what their dreams are, and who their followers are, and who
00:34:56they follow. This is the new caste. Gen Z's
00:35:00political views may be strong, but their
00:35:04unity is weak. All these people
00:35:07live in different information networks, and it is not necessary that they
00:35:11adopt the political ideology of their parents.
00:35:15In earlier times, children often liked the same party,
00:35:18voted for the same party, which their parents liked
00:35:22or voted for.
00:35:25You may remember, you will find many families who will say that we have been
00:35:28voting for Congress for three generations, four generations. You will find families who will say that we have been voting
00:35:32for BJP generation after generation. Our family
00:35:35is a traditional voter of BJP.
00:35:39Every generation votes for
00:35:42And at that time, the head of the family
00:35:46was usually the father, and what the head of the family
00:35:49said, women, children,
00:35:53youth, all those people did what the head
00:35:56said. That is, what
00:35:59the father said or what the grandfather said. But this Gen Z
00:36:03is different. This is the biggest change in Indian politics,
00:36:06which you will see in the upcoming elections. They form their
00:36:10political ideology by looking at social media, YouTube,
00:36:13Instagram, and the internet,
00:36:16not by listening to speeches of leaders. The biggest
00:36:19damage of the recent Gen Z movement was to the government
00:36:23or to the opposition. This is also a very big debate.
00:36:25Therefore, whether it is BJP
00:36:29or Congress, or all other parties or their leaders,
00:36:32they will have to see that now in the upcoming elections,
00:36:36perhaps politics is also going to change.
00:36:39It is possible that the biggest battleground of Indian politics
00:36:43may become Instagram. Now
00:36:47look, after this movement, what happened is that the opposition
00:36:50is very happy. Opposition leaders are very happy that see,
00:36:54these students have made the government bow down.
00:36:59Opposition leaders are considering this movement as the biggest
00:37:03proof of increasing anger against the government in the country, and they feel
00:37:06that the anger of the youth will automatically convert into votes
00:37:10for opposition parties. They feel that they will get direct benefit
00:37:14from this. But the real question is whether the opposition will be able to convert
00:37:18Gen Z's anger into votes, and this is also the biggest weakness
00:37:21of the opposition today. If opposition
00:37:25parties and their leaders truly had so much information
00:37:28about public discontent, then why did
00:37:32they not associate it with themselves? All these people whom they think
00:37:36were angry with the government, why did this anger
00:37:40of the youth
00:37:43Congress? Why did all these opposition leaders
00:37:48strategy together with parties like Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, or
00:37:52DMK? But this time its leadership
00:37:55was not in the hands of any leader. Its leadership was completely
00:37:59scattered. There was dissatisfaction, but that dissatisfaction
00:38:03had no political direction. Therefore, it is not necessary that
00:38:06opposition leaders will benefit from the anger of the youth.
00:38:10Rahul Gandhi will benefit, other leaders will benefit,
00:38:13Akhilesh Yadav will benefit, because in politics, every
00:38:17voter looks for a strong alternative, and
00:38:21at this time, the people of this country are not seeing
00:38:24opposition parties as a strong opposition alternative. Why?
00:38:28I will tell you. There are approximately three years
00:38:31left until the next Lok Sabha elections, and in these three years, many
00:38:35such issues will arise that will affect the thoughts
00:38:38of Gen Z. Therefore, political parties will now have to
00:38:42change their election campaign methods. Until now, election campaigns
00:38:46involved large rallies, road shows, crowds of thousands of workers
00:38:49gathered by paying money in buses,
00:38:53long speeches, and if there was a movement
00:38:57or protest after the election campaign, slogans of "Down with" and "Death to"
00:39:01were raised. These are old-fashioned things. Now the method of election campaign
00:39:04is slowly changing. In the coming time, not just the crowd gathered in the field,
00:39:08but the atmosphere created on the mobile phone screen will decide
00:39:11the course of the election, and social media,
00:39:15reels, and algorithms will also become a very
00:39:18important part of electoral strategy.
00:39:54Punjab National Bank, the name you can bank upon.
00:40:03After the Jantar Mantar movement, there is a lot of buzz about Gen Z across the country.
00:40:07Suddenly, everyone has started talking about Gen Z.
00:40:11But the participation of Gen Z in our country's politics
00:40:14is very low. Their number is 38
00:40:18crores, but how many people in our country's politics are from
00:40:22Gen Z, even though we have the largest
00:40:25Gen Z population in the world? Those born between
00:40:281997 and 2012
00:40:32are called Gen Z, and today their age
00:40:36is between 14 and 29 years.
00:40:39Now look at this. At this time, the population
00:40:43of people between 14 and 29 years
00:40:47in our country is 38 crores,
00:40:49and this is 26% of the country's population.
00:40:5326% of our population is from
00:40:55Gen Z, aged 14
00:40:58to 29 years. Today, Gen Z
00:41:01is not just working, but they are creating startups,
00:41:05running their own businesses, making new
00:41:08inventions in new technologies,
00:41:12entering sports, entering media.
00:41:15You will see Gen Z everywhere. Gen Z
00:41:18are artists, Gen Z are actors, Gen Z
00:41:22are running their own startup companies. Gen Z
00:41:25is everywhere, dominating everywhere. But what is the share of Gen Z
00:41:29in the country's Parliament and state assemblies
00:41:33in our country? Very negligible.
00:41:36At this time, out of 540 MPs in the Lok Sabha,
00:41:40only six MPs are from Gen Z. Only
00:41:43six. In 2024,
00:41:4798 Gen Z candidates contested elections. Only
00:41:5098 across the country. But only six of them won.
00:41:54And out of these, five MPs come from political
00:41:57families. That is, the young MPs in our country
00:42:01who are below 29 years are already very few,
00:42:05only six, and out of these six, five
00:42:08are from political families, meaning they are there
00:42:12because they were born in big families and their parents
00:42:15have made them MPs and sent them here
00:42:19by winning the Lok Sabha election. Only one
00:42:22MP, only one MP in our entire Lok Sabha
00:42:26is from Gen Z and is not from a political family.
00:42:30Only one. Currently, there are a total
00:42:33of 4123 MLAs in the country, and out of these, only 20
00:42:37MLAs are below 29 years old,
00:42:40i.e., Gen Z. And out of these 20, eight
00:42:43MLAs come from big political families whose
00:42:46parents or other family members are already in politics.
00:42:50Now let me tell you
00:42:53in the Lok Sabha, because many people also say that
00:42:57लोकसभा में प्रदर्शन कैसा रहा क्योंकि बहुत सारे लोग यह भी कहते हैं कि भाई
00:43:00we have now.
00:43:04Their performance is
00:43:06as follows: The average attendance of these MPs so far is
00:43:1089%, which I would say is impressive, very good.
00:43:1489% attendance. They have asked an average of
00:43:1793 questions and participated in about 19
00:43:21debates in the Lok Sabha. Congress MP Sanjana
00:43:24Jatav from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, has
00:43:26100% attendance in the Lok Sabha.
00:43:30Shambhavi Chaudhary, who comes from a political family in Bihar, asked the
00:43:33most questions, 207. The family background of Gen Z MLAs and
00:43:37MPs shows that the path to reaching Parliament or the Assembly
00:43:40still passes through political legacy.
00:43:44However, the performance of those who have come
00:43:48is decent. And
00:43:51now
00:44:05fees, everything is done.
00:44:08Budget is made. Yes,
00:44:115 thousand saved. Should I buy a new sari? No,
00:44:15you bought one last month. Make a budget
00:44:18first, then save small savings
00:44:21in the bank, and watch your money grow.
00:44:25Good. Go, brother. RBI says financial wisdom
00:44:29is a prosperous
00:44:32woman.
00:44:33What is the effect on politics?
00:44:39What is the effect on language? What is the effect on families?
00:44:42You have seen, Gen Z has also left a very deep impact
00:44:46on society. So
00:44:49not just politics, Gen Z has also changed
00:44:52the ways of marriage. Now see a new
00:44:55change that has come in our society. Now, before marriage, not
00:44:59an astrologer, but a detective is needed.
00:45:02Now, for whom to marry, not relatives,
00:45:06but detectives are consulted.
00:45:09Detective agencies are consulted. Earlier, before marriage, horoscopes were checked.
00:45:13Now, social media accounts like Instagram and Facebook
00:45:17are checked. In our country, the trend
00:45:20of getting a background check done by a private detective
00:45:24before marriage is now increasing very rapidly, and this
00:45:27can be considered a very big impact of the Ketan Agarwal murder in Pune.
00:45:31You may remember, about a month and a half ago, 20-year-old Siya
00:45:35Goyal, along with her 22-year-old boyfriend, murdered
00:45:39her 26-year-old fiance Ketan Agarwal in Pune.
00:45:42This incident broke familial trust in marriage.
00:45:46Now no family wants to take any risk
00:45:50before marriage. Every family is afraid
00:45:53that the family, the boy or girl with whom they have arranged their child's
00:45:57marriage, will not do the same to them. If the same thing happens to them,
00:46:01what will happen? So it's better to find out in advance.
00:46:05Therefore, now a large number of families want to get all kinds of checks
00:46:08before marriage through
00:46:12private detectives. That is, what kind of boy or girl
00:46:16it is. Earlier, relatives used to tell, but now
00:46:20detectives are doing this work. This may sound like a joke,
00:46:23but this is the new changing reality of marriage in our country.
00:46:27Earlier, the to-do list for marriage,
00:46:30the checklist, included things like booking
00:46:34a banquet hall, booking catering,
00:46:38booking a band, booking a photographer. Now people also do
00:46:42a lot of other things, make videos. A lot of things happen.
00:46:45Event management people also come now. But now it is possible that another name
00:46:48may be added to that list. And that is private
00:46:52detective. Book a photographer. Now people do a lot of other things,
00:46:56make videos. A lot of things happen. Event management people also come now.
00:47:00But now it is possible that another name may be added to that list.
00:47:03And that is private detective. The family will say before marriage
00:47:07where is the detective agency's report? Until the report comes,
00:47:11they will not proceed with the marriage. That is, along with the horoscope,
00:47:14a background
00:47:18before marriage. The biggest thing is that earlier, investigations were only done in arranged
00:47:21marriages, but now even in love marriages,
00:47:25families are getting the background verification
00:47:28of the boy or girl done. So
00:47:32is this just caution or increasing
00:47:35distrust in our relationships? Usually, a private
00:47:38detective agency charges about one lakh to five
00:47:41lakh rupees for a background check
00:47:45before marriage. This investigation
00:47:48is completed in 15 to 20 days. It includes
00:47:51social media accounts, bank account
00:47:55records, old past relationships, your ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends,
00:47:58employment records, how much debt you have
00:48:01taken, how much debt the family has, where loans have been taken from,
00:48:05all this is investigated. Criminal
00:48:08records, whether the boy or girl has a drug habit,
00:48:11how the boy or girl behaves.
00:48:14Where the boy or girl usually
00:48:18goes, which clubs they go to.
00:48:21Which places they go to, if they go to any dance bar, that is,
00:48:25instead of trust, verification has started to take over.
00:48:28In the last few decades, cases of background checks before marriage
00:48:32have increased almost 10 times. Now, background checks before marriage
00:48:36account for almost 50 to 60%
00:48:40of the business of many private detective companies.
00:48:43In today's digital age, a person has two identities. One
00:48:47that is visible to society, which anyone can see, and the other
00:48:51that is hidden in your mobile phone, hidden inside your social media
00:48:54account. And this is the reason why families
00:48:58now want to confirm facts instead of relying
00:49:01on meetings or the opinions of relatives. The biggest reason for this change
00:49:05is not curiosity but fear.
00:49:08In the last few years, many cases of fraud, domestic violence, and
00:49:12murder after marriage have come to light in our country. You may remember that last
00:49:16year, a girl named Sonam Raghuvanshi murdered her husband Raja Raghuvanshi
00:49:20during their honeymoon in Meghalaya.
00:49:22Before this, many such cases have come up.
00:49:26You may remember another case in which a wife killed her husband
00:49:30and put the body parts in a blue drum.
00:49:34In our society, earlier, marriage bureaus
00:49:38or online matrimonial websites were very popular. Similarly,
00:49:41now pre-marital verification services are becoming increasingly popular.
00:49:45Therefore, it is possible that in the coming years, background checks before marriage
00:49:48will become as common as getting a passport
00:49:52or police verification seems common to you today.
00:49:56Along with your Aadhaar card,
00:49:59a detective agency's verification report before marriage.
00:50:03So this is a very big change coming in our country.
00:50:06Now, just meeting will not be enough. Earlier, the boy's family used to go
00:50:10to the girl's house. The girl would come, serve tea,
00:50:14samosas, and some other food items, and the girl's family would say
00:50:18that our daughter made all this food. And other things also happened.
00:50:25Our daughter has these qualities. The boy's family would say, our son has these
00:50:29qualities, and marriages used to happen with the help of relatives.
00:50:32You must have seen countless such scenes in movies,
00:50:36but now all this is ending.
