Readers Urge Timely Response to Gen Z Unrest in India

In India, many people wrote letters to a newspaper called The Hindu, and the paper printed them on August 8, 2026.

The letters talk about young people, called Gen Z, who have been protesting about things they are unhappy with.

Some people think sneaky outside groups are using the protests to make trouble in countries like Nepal and Bangladesh.

Others say the protests come from real problems, and leaders should listen to young people.

A leader named Mohan Bhagwat met with young protesters in Mumbai and called them 'our own children.'

He said the government waited too long to respond and should not have used force against them.

The letters also talk about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who asked people to buy handloom cloth and share videos about it.

Another letter says coaching centres have turned education into a money-making business.

The readers mostly agree that leaders should solve problems fairly and quickly.
