The opposition has changed its tactics and tactics, using the political weapon of Gen Z.

Delhi: Unlike all the student protests India has seen so far! The protest led by the irresponsible Jen C Pillai at Jantar Mantar, questioning irregularities in the NEET exam, was different in its methods, language, and their involvement.

Even the language of the placards they held up reflected that change. They confronted the government with a new language of dissent and ridicule. It was sexually explicit. In other words, the protesters were creating a new language for satire. This was not the first time that such sexually explicit remarks were made to bring the ruling class to its senses in France and India today. 

That is why some people have returned to the memories of the French Revolution. Many compare the placards raised at Jantar Mantar today to the pamphlets known as Libels. One of the most controversial pamphlets that appeared at the time was one that mocked Louis XV's private life and sexuality with the aim of undermining his authority. 

The pamphlet stated that the scepter of Louis XV was missing and that after a long search it had been found in the bathroom of a very beautiful lady. The aim of the writers of that time was to destroy the symbols of power that were seen as divine with the power of obscene satire. Here, Jen See has adopted the same method. 

If it was pamphlets during the French Revolution, it is social media trends during the Gen Z era. The younger generation is expressing their protest through memes and satire on platforms like Instagram and X. They are also holding up striking placards. 

From placards to punch lines, Gonna Create a New S*x Position Calles Modi, Where I am at top and doing nothing. Here, Jen Cee mocks the need for power but the inability to use it in a beneficial way. 'Modiji, put down the hook of your underwear, I can see the corruption.' Jen Cee turns patriarchal concepts and practices that are considered humiliating for women upside down. 

The corruption is being exposed by turning the misogynistic phrases used against the ruler. The students raised placards mocking the friendship between Italian Prime Minister Meloni and Modi. 'We were beaten because we were students, if it was Meloni, we would have been in our hands by now', 'Meloni Madam, Modiji should be blocked, he is not that good', 'Dudes either support Modi, or can make a person cum, I'm sorry I don't make these rules' are mocking the concepts of masculinity associated with extreme nationalism (Hindutva hypermasculinity) by associating it with sex. A veiled blow to hyper-masculinity. 

Slogans like "Police Daddy Hit Me Harder" that mock police brutality send a message that they are not afraid of the government's repression. The goal of such protests is to portray the rulers as ordinary people, thereby eliminating their infallibility. An example of this is the memes that associate the Prime Minister with the Italian Prime Minister Meloni. Through 'love memes' (Meloni memes), the protesters are presenting the powerful ruler as just an ordinary person. This will eliminate the fear that the government instills in the people. 

When a leader who claims to be a superhuman and appointed by God is 'littled' through jokes and mockery, the voice of dissent becomes louder. Through such slogans, it is being established that the authorities also have shortcomings like ordinary people. This will give new energy to democratic struggles. As mentioned earlier, the language of openly mocking the government and challenging it has always been there. It's just that Genzi has fearlessly mixed a little humor into it.
