NDTV’s latest opinion piece argues that India’s Generation Z is increasingly disillusioned with conventional political parties and processes.
NDTV published an opinion article titled “Why India’s Gen Z Is Done With Traditional Politics” on its website. The piece examines a growing sense of disengagement among young Indians who were born after the mid‑1990s. It points out that many in this cohort feel alienated from established political parties and traditional electoral campaigning.
The article suggests that Gen Z’s political expression is shifting toward digital platforms, issue‑based movements and non‑institutional forms of activism. It notes that social media, online forums and grassroots campaigns are increasingly becoming the preferred avenues for voicing concerns.
The author calls on mainstream parties to rethink their outreach strategies, emphasizing the need for transparency, relevance and direct engagement with young voters if they wish to regain their confidence.
