Background
Overview
UPSC cares about the dynamics of social movements, challenges to democratic governance, the role of youth in nation-building, and the state's response to dissent, all of which are critical for understanding contemporary Indian polity and society.
In a democratic setup, youth participation and expression of dissent are crucial for societal evolution and accountability. However, widespread youth discontent, often stemming from perceived systemic failures, can manifest as protests, posing significant governance challenges and impacting democratic stability.
