Why India’s political representation is facing challenges
Political systems are in upheaval around India. Just recently, the young generation in Nepal rebelled against the entire party landscape or against the political class, which they saw as ageing. Travelers to India also immediately notice that the country has a young population. Children, teenagers and people in their thirties dominate the streetscape. Indian politics, on the other hand, is primarily embodied by older gentlemen. But can this phenomenon be statistically recorded? Is there a wider gap between the country's young demographics and the supposedly much older political class than would be the case in other countries?
