ThePrint’s latest feature examines how Mahatma Gandhi might have leveraged Instagram, YouTube, and X, drawing lessons for Generation Z on digital engagement and ethical content.
ThePrint recently published an article titled "What would MK Gandhi do with Instagram, YouTube and X? The lessons for Gen Z," which imagines how the freedom fighter might have navigated modern social media platforms.
The piece draws parallels between Gandhi’s principles of non‑violence, truth and community building and the responsibilities of contemporary content creators. It suggests that a platform user guided by his ethos would prioritize meaningful dialogue over self‑promotion.
According to the article, Gandhi would likely have used Instagram to share visual stories of grassroots activism, YouTube to host educational series on civil disobedience, and X to facilitate real‑time discussions on social justice, all while maintaining a tone of calm and integrity.
The author concludes that Generation Z can learn from Gandhi’s emphasis on authenticity, purposeful messaging and ethical engagement, turning social media into a tool for positive change when used responsibly.
