Modi targets Indian parents to sway Gen-Z protesters

thehindu.com [$]

After student protests, Prime Minister Modi launched Instagram reels to reach youth; however, an analysis suggests the real target is Gen-Z parents, the WhatsApp generation. In one video, Modi forgives protesters as "misguided children." RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also engages youth. Parental support has wavered over alleged Ayodhya donation embezzlement and ethanol-blending concerns. Modi's popularity was built through WhatsApp networks before 2014. This outreach reportedly aims to rally elders to restore cultural discipline, rather than pacify protesters.
