Sedition to anthem: Many lives of ‘Azadi’ chants in India’s youth protests

“In India, the 'Azadi' chant, meaning 'freedom' in English, has become a rallying cry for youth protests against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The slogan, which was once considered treasonous, has gained new life in Indian politics. This shift reflects the evolution of student politics and activism in India under Modi's rule. Expert Analysis: The resurgence of the 'Azadi' chant highlights the growing disillusionment among India's youth with the government's policies and the increasing polarization of Indian society. This trend may have implications for the country's democratic institutions and the future of its politics. The 'Azadi' chant's revival also underscores the importance of social media in mobilizing youth protests and amplifying marginalized voices.”
