Even in law campuses many students are so gripped by the notion that protestors should be able to go wherever they want, they are refusing to see the law they will sell others to earn a living. This suspension of reality is greatly assisted by social media and their little helpers - innocent looking influencers.

Stricter punishments are welcome but that's just hygiene. Better implementation will only take you this far. But what do students really need, and not just Gen-z but all young generations in the past and future, is indeed clean exams and better education, but also better economy, better infrastructure, better jobs, better physical and mental health, less stress and a safe future.

Systemic racism is the web of policies, historical defaults, cultural paradigms, and institutional norms that automatically create disparities along racial or ethnic lines—even when no individual holds conscious prejudice. Unlike individual bias, systemic racism is structural. It is built into the background architecture of institutions, language, and knowledge & information systems.

After lecturing India on farm laws, Canada famously crushed their own truckers protest using the full spectrum of the state's power. Some Indians living in Canada have internalised the same double standards.

Posting as well as sharing fake content designed to incite violence can lead to jail of 3-5 years. More importantly, your reckless actions can forever hurt somebody innocent. Check before you share and report fake news, this is also your duty as a responsible citizen.

Influencers and their followers now live in such bubbles that they prefer inventing algorithm friendly reality over a 1 second news search. Education does not prevent herd mentality.
