Gen Z weaponizes memes to challenge Modi as protests grow

India’s youth protests in Delhi amplify their message online with memes, spoof videos and satire to pressure Modi after education scandals. A satirical group called the Cockroach Janta Party has helped turn a single-issue campaign into a broader, online-driven movement, with protesters mocking Modi, critiquing government coverage, and sharing viral clips from police clashes, broadening the protests beyond the streets and posing a new challenge to Modi’s image among a large, digitally engaged younger electorate.

Trump says G7 ‘I am the boss’ remark was a light-hearted joke, not a show of power

US President Donald Trump told Axios that his viral “I am the boss” remark at the G7 Summit was a funny, unscripted moment made as he walked into a long table with seven world leaders, and that all of them understood it as humor rather than an assertion of dominance, amid ongoing talks that included Modi’s presence and Iran-related developments.

Modi Calls for Austerity: Cut Gold Purchases and Foreign Travel as Iran War Strains India's Economy

Modi’s nationwide comeback redraws India’s political map

Two years after losing a parliamentary majority, Modi’s BJP has swept multiple state victories—including West Bengal and Assam—expanding its reach to 22 of 36 states and paving the way for a possible fourth term in 2029. The comeback stems from Modi’s populist blend of robust infrastructure growth, extensive welfare schemes and relentless campaigning. Critics warn that Hindu nationalism and perceived tilt toward powerful institutions threaten India’s secular democracy, while opponents fault disunity; nonetheless the BJP’s grassroots revival marks a dramatic reshaping of India’s political map.
