[00:00:00] Mr. Modi proved Rajnath Singh wrong is because the kids forced Mr. Modi to ensure that his minister resigned We were fools to get carried away with Hindu and Muslims. Gen-Zs won't. They are much more smarter than the older generation of this country So when you are dealing with Gen-Z you better well have your facts right
[00:00:24] When you are dealing with Gen-Z you better well get your things facts at the table get get real with everything You can't con them. Namaskar Welcome to another episode of editorial Like we told you yesterday, Dharmendra Pradhan finally had to resign
[00:00:50] Now before narratives are circulated, before all the credit of all of this goes to the government Let me tell you something The decisions taken by the government currently both in terms of tightening the NEET exams, tightening exams, getting education reforms All these decisions were not taken by the government proactively Let us first try and understand it
[00:01:20] These decisions were taken by the government because the kids, the protesting kids made them take this decision That's the first thing I want to be very clear today The second thing I want to tell you before I get into the actual editorial is I have no editorial today, I am going to show you a lot of visuals A lot of visuals that will really make you proud of this next generation But before I get into all of that, let me tell you This is the first time that Modi has proved Mr. Rajnath Singh wrong
[00:01:48] And this is what Mr. Rajnath Singh had to say There are not people that they have no idea, the U.P. government is not India government Mr. Modi proved Rajnath Singh wrong because the kids forced Mr. Modi to ensure that his Minister resigned His Minister resigned And his Minister resigned because there was tremendous pressure The Minister resigned because had he not resigned This would have escalated to a next level
[00:02:15] And somewhere down the line, there was no choice left with Narendra Modi government But to get Dharmendra Pradhan to resign Whatever one writes in the resignation letter could be a different issue But this is a fact of life And I guess almost every demand, I think slowly but steadily Will be met, agreed to by the government This is the power of Gen Z Or somebody was saying Gen Ziddhi
[00:02:42] Now, I want to show you a complete collage of a lot of events that happened in Jantar Mantar Have a look at that collage Because that collage will give you what India is going to look like in the future That collage will give you how India is thinking And it's a very important story It's a very important You know, at times, a pitcher can speak a thousand words
[00:03:11] They say, that's exactly what I intend to show you I am going to speak a thousand words through these pictures See these pictures, see the conviction, see the dedication, see the courage And see what Gen Z was willing to pay for what they thought was their justice That's something that I want you to have a look Just have a look at this We are going to
[00:04:02] The police are going to know
[00:04:04] The second very important factor
[00:04:52] Second very important factor BJP IT cell failed, failed miserably Mr. Shah and Mr. Modi should now hire better professionals for their IT cell Failed miserably The IT cell that actually made the Bharatiya Janata Party The IT cell that created all this narrative from 2014 in India for the Bharatiya Janata Party That IT cell has now turned archaic End of story Not working
[00:05:21] Definitely not in front of this Gen Z Definitely not in front of this Gen Z These guys, these kids were too good Too good for them A. B. Their IT cell has been failing them Their IT cell has been failing them They failed them in 2024 And then I don't think it has ever recovered So, Bharatiya Janata Party Depends on their IT cell as much as they depend on their governance
[00:05:47] In fact, if my opinion is they depend more on their IT cell Then they depend on their governance So, they better well work on their IT cell Because their IT cell has failed them miserably That's point number 2 Point number 3 Point number 3 is handling dissent You see, Bharatiya Janata Party and especially Narendra Modi Had this unique way of handling dissent And that was ignoring dissent That was punishing dissent
[00:06:16] That was quashing dissent This was the way they were used to This was the way they had devised to handle dissent Now that they have to unlearn These kids changed the way Dissent looks in India Now, looking at those kids Learning from these kids A lot of people currently are going to dissent very differently A lot of people have been inspired by these kids I tell you this A lot of people have been inspired by these kids
[00:06:46] Their sheer courage They are willing to face anything to make their point I think that is something that Bharatiya Janata Party is going to face Very strongly in the future So, all this I am not going to talk I am not going to give press conference I am not going to say I am not going to say I am not going to say This has to change If this doesn't change, you will see more of this And if you see more of this
[00:07:13] I think Bharatiya Janata Party is in deep trouble Let me tell you that Point number 3 Point number 4 Janzis cannot be fooled Janzis cannot be diverted Janzis You can't divert them to Hindu Muslim Mandir Majid All this won't happen with Janzis They are real You better talk real to them Old people like me could be And we showed it We were fools
[00:07:42] To get carried away with Hindu and Muslims Janzis won't They are much more smarter than The older generation of this country So, when you are dealing with Janzis You better will have your facts right When you are dealing with Janzis You better will get your facts at the table Get real with everything You can't con them And the most important thing The most important thing I don't think this generation is about Hindu Muslims
[00:08:10] I don't think this generation is about communal I don't think this generation is about caste I think this generation is about growth I think this generation is about achievements They are not going to now Get carried away by caste and creed And all of that And I am so happy for it And the last point You know, I was wondering Whether Were we living a lie Before 2014 Or are we living a lie Now, after 2014
[00:08:41] I will try and elaborate what I mean by that You see, my younger days There was no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim Not the way it is now There was no It didn't make a difference whether You were working with a Hindu You were working with a Muslim You were It didn't make a difference at all Mahatma Gandhi Most of us considered the father of this nation We were in awe of that man We were in awe of what he taught us
[00:09:11] After 2014 It seems like a different country Because Mahatma Gandhi's killers Were the celebrities And Mahatma Gandhi was turning into a villain Everything that went wrong was Nehru's fault And most importantly I think in every walk of life Every walk of life Professional, personal, entertainment Every walk of life There was communalism
[00:09:41] I was wondering Which was the real India? Was the real India pre-2014 Or the real India post-2014 I got my answer with this protest I got the answer to my question Real India is secular Real India still believes in the value of Mahatma Gandhi and Baba Saheb Ambedkar That is the real India And that gave me the most satisfaction That reassured me
[00:10:11] That you know my India is in safe hands This generation is going to take this country Way way higher than any of us could take So that is what I wanted to tell you That is my short editorial today I am happy for this young generation I am happy for the future of our education Let's hope all what is said is actually put into paper All what is said is actually Actually put on ground And most importantly, let's hope
[00:10:38] This government takes education seriously That's the most important factor Till I see you next time That's tomorrow at 10 Namaskar
