The Double-Edged Sword of Youth Radicalization

Recently, we saw the Gen-Z protests unfold in Nepal. Unsurprisingly, certain opposition figures in India and neighboring anti-India elements felt happy seeing this. Why? Because to them, this was the third successful execution of a formula—first in Sri Lanka, second in Bangladesh, and third in Nepal. Now, they believe they can replicate this exact same regime-change tactic a fourth time in India.
To achieve this, these elements are constantly trying to excite and incite Indian youth. But when everyday, sensible youth didn't show up on the streets, these conspirators created fake crowds. They brought in people who looked like the youth to project an image that Indian Gen-Z is furious, abusing authority, damaging public property, and acting against national interest.
They achieved partial success in this illusion because normal citizens and hard-working students are simply too busy earning a living and studying. They don't have time to constantly keep an eye on these "Breaking India" plots. More importantly, ordinary young people are deeply emotional. When they saw an old man fasting and remaining hungry for 20 days, their empathy took over. In that emotional moment, they couldn't see the hidden tactics of the conspirators or the fringe elements operating right alongside him. They joined the crowd out of pure compassion, unaware of how their numbers were being manipulated to signal widespread anti-national anger.
Well, this brings me to the core issue these "Breaking India" elements are failing to realize: radicalizing the youth is a double-edged sword.
Nepal is a clear example of this danger. Once people realize they can topple a government through street agitation, it becomes a habit. Whenever they dislike a decision, they immediately take to the streets and turn violent.
If these anti-national groups think they can change the regime in India using youth radicalization, they need a reality check. You must remember that eventually, you will have to face this exact same violent youth yourself. The dangerous fire you light today will ultimately burn you tomorrow.
