Indian PM Narendra Modi is using Instagram videos to appeal to young voters after Gen-Z protests over jobs and education highlighted youth frustration. The outreach follows protests that forced the education minister's resignation. Modi's party ministers and departments now post short, unedited clips, aiming to win over 400 million Gen-Z voters before the 2029 general election. India has over 1.4 billion people, more than half under 35. Analysts question whether Modi's carefully curated Instagram content can match protesters' raw, authentic appeal to Gen Z.
