I think the CJP is heading towards becoming an offline political movement with a different name, no matter the bans on their SM handles by the GoI.
That's fine in a democracy as long as it remains peaceful and lawful. But the issue is, I fear, that the movement and their politics will be launched out of Gen-Z protests and anarchy.
This is the 'familiar path' the USDS takes to push new politics in democracies whenever they find gaps - like in India, where GenZ are disillusioned with both the government and the opposition over their issues.
The DS do this to try dilute control in a democracy like India and make it their politically weak, economically malleable large market. Nothing good ever comes out of such revolutions. Things only become worse for the target country.
Gen-Z must just look at countries around India - Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives - to understand how such revolutions to overthrow their existing govts ruined their economies and stalled even the little bit of development they had.
The DS always start with the destabilization of the existing political power structure by exploiting the right timing - like now where they may be temporary issues caused by global crises and AI-driven job losses. And by doing massive psyops to instigate the public.
Which is what I believe they are doing now. I may be wrong, but some patterns are hard to miss.
Their strategy is to use local issues (some of which may even be created by sabotage) along with global crises to instigate their target population and turn it into their political base.
In 2012, they tried the same thing. They used issues like corruption and crimes to agitate the public, amplifying their discomfort with the then INC government many times above normal levels.
All done to weaken the existing political power structures and launch nationwide movements and protests to enable the DS's political push.
But fortunately, one nationalist had already captured the gap among Indians by then, much to their disappointment. He derailed their plans, even though they tried to stop him using all means possible.
They could never really recover after that to capture India nationally. The man and his government have derailed their plans ever since. Their enabled political movement and party couldn't become pan-national as they had imagined.
Now, they are sensing another gap and an opportunity to relaunch their mission using another movement, with another set of protests and anarchy, this time targeting a new generation to dilute India politically so that we end up with weak, malleable coalition governments.
Some say this is going to be done by fully utilizing Meta platforms and Reddit - their favorite tools for mass psyops and political upheaval around the world.
By now it's just hard to miss how these two companies seem to turn a blind eye to meddling in democracies by some actors. Experts claim they work hand in glove by allowing millions of bots, paid follower scams, AI fake videos, and tuning their algos to favor certain narratives.
