Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The aspirational generation behind India’s bold China ambitions
The world’s largest election ended with a landslide victory for prime minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India’s largest political party, in terms of representation in the national parliament and state assemblies. He’s gotten another five years to run the young, fast-growing country. In fact, over 400 million people are aged between 15 and 34 years old in India. Also, of the 900 million eligible voters, over 80 million were first-time voters in the general election that took place in April and May. Indeed, young voters are essential to get more seats in parliament. Their interests may differ widely from their parents. They want jobs and opportunities for their future, economy over politics, tangible changes and improvements like transportation over social welfare. Indeed, under Modi’s “Clean India” mission, over 90 million toilets were built in households for the last five years. In the meantime, the Hindu-majority country has become more religiously divided than before under the conservative party’s ruling. Though young people seem to be realistic how much one person can make in the world’s largest democratic and the most diverse country in five years, there will be another 90 million new voters in the next election and the higher representation of the youth voters in the next election. Will the aging leader and politicians be able to further accelerate the economic growth to create jobs and future for young people?
Enjoy reading and learn about how India’s young people feel and think about the nation’s future.
