Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has intensified efforts to curb widespread youth-led protests, deploying measures to restrict their reach and visibility amid growing unrest. Authorities are targeting social media platforms and digital communication tools used by demonstrators, particularly younger generations, to limit the spread of organizing efforts. Critics argue the crackdown raises concerns over freedom of expression, while supporters claim the actions are necessary to maintain public order. The move underscores deepening tensions between the government and a vocal segment of the population pushing for political and social change.
