Another Election Show: What’s the pulse of Bengal’s youth? On Modi, corruption, development
#loksabhaelection2024
In West Bengal’s Hooghly, the BJP’s Locket Chatterjee and Trinamool Congress candidate Rachna Banerjee are locking horns in a fierce poll battle. The constituency is one of the seven Lok Sabha seats in the state that are set to vote on May 20.
In this episode of Another Election Show, Newslaundry reached Hooghly’s Chandernagore Government College to understand the pulse of the state’s youth and the issues that matter to them. The students spoke about triple talaq, women’s safety, Manipur violence and the Sandeshkhali controversy.
The students said development has taken place under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government but corruption has also increased. Some others said both inequality and GDP have increased.

If you do biased information why we should fund you?
Being a Bengali I'm disappointed with this generation of students. This is a shame. They're not just ill-informed, they're irresponsible too.

It is disheartening to witness the demotion of our students; I never anticipated such a disappointing and irresponsible response. It is crucial to investigate whether they are being funded by a specific party cadre. Newslaundry is disseminating biased information in Bengal, as they are exclusively engaging with individuals affiliated with a particular party cadre, rather than seeking input from neutral sources or ordinary students.

Very badly informed. Only students of WhatsApp university.
If this is how the present students are, then I feel sorry for my country. Very poorly informed.
It must have been embarrassing for the teachers and librarian of Chandannagar College listening to the students. My sympathy are with the young generation.
These students are not very aware of socio political situation of India.

No ground reality. Just WHATSAPP GYAN There's some Pressure on them do BHAKTI.
It pains to see that a huge section of the youth has lost the ability of critical thinking.
What a disappointing bunch of students I am worried about next generation
Noo😭😭😭 This is not the true Bengal! How disappointing!
I guess you either enter the wrong place to talk to student or it shows how this university is giving education to their students. Sad to see how the young youth of our country marching towards wrong path 😭

Strange to see kids like this. Kids from my university are terrifyingly well informed and active. Even about rights of the gaurds, andworkers employed by the university.
It's very sad to see the students are unaware of the reality.
So sad to see the shift in the thought process of Bengal. It looks like the state has lost its intellect. The sensibility and rationality that the youth of Bengal carried in the 70s have now become the story of the past. It's sad to see jobless youth but most unfortunate is to see the misguided and ill-informed youth. Modi is sensible for women is the greatest farce and those who believe this without even questioning are the abyss of hopelessness.
Giving me headache,listening to such guy especially 2nd boy at top from left..he is using WHATSAPP as source of info....r we heading towards catastrophe??? How will opposition deal with such nonsense and fake news???
Most of these students didn't answer the questions asked by the reporter but they gave a general reply instead of actually answering the question. This way,their answers seemed to be all made up in advance. For example, they didn't answer the questions related to Manipur and Revanna.They spoke well only about Bengal related issues.

Bengali here. I present to you the WhatsApp generation of Bengal, i.e. the generation born between 1996-2006. This is the generation whose political awareness started to develop on or after the deceptive India against Corruption movement, the fall of TV journalism quality, the rise of media control to propagate hate politics and Modi-Bhakti, and the emergence of industrial grade social media fake news.

It must be said, that people are very less aware of any socio-political-economic realities of their land... And people will complain about poor governments, but ironically not even be aware of their basic responsibilities and the causalities of all the nuisance... "We want to be apolitical!!!"
many achievers from bengal we have but looking at these students i could say, they have zero knowledge and serious followers of godi media. Someone said once, 4th pillar of democracy has become 3rd leg of XXXX. All studnets are graducated from whatsapp university. All the best.

Great work! Thank you. Sad to see so many young minds disillusioned and that too in Bengal! WhatsApp seems to be doing its job well!
We have a long way to go. Everyone has a right to opinion. The disappointment is because they are so ill-informed. If they read sufficient enough with diverse perspectives and reasoned arguments, how will they know what are the ground realities!!! Amazed at the level of and extent of being ill-informed. I also feel that NL needs to probe at least on certain thematic, use the opportunity to let them know how women's safety has gone for a toss... There were several responses on women's safety improved. Using probes to elicit focused views will help. Opportunity to provide them space to revisit their views...
It is also the duty of the journalist to share the truth with these brainwashed kids
Very sad to hear these students. The quality of politics in Bengal and the quality of leaders of the current regime shows it's impact on education also. All 3rd class and bogus students. The students seem to have very little knowledge of socio political environment of Bengal.
Ashamed to see these goborvakts in Bengal
Is this in Bengal, I wonder
As a Bengali I am really disappointed by the level of misinformation among the students of these generation. It is not their fault as they have spent 10 years of their formative years under this regime and have been fed this bull crap relentlessly through the social media.
I expect better from these students but I was kidding myself.

This interview reaffirms the fact that student politics is extremely crucial in college. Atleast students will be more aware of what's going on in the country.

So ill-informed and un-thinking students. Completely disconnected from reality. Eating out of the hands of the media who are completely bought. Compared to these students those in UP and Bihar are much more discerning and articulate. They may not be comfortable in Hindi, but that doesn't stop them from being more aware of their environment. What a shame!
This is what my friends say when I ask them what BJP has done. I ask them what about inequality, GDP PPP, etc. They act as if they are BJP party members.
Bengal is doomed.
Yai students ohh my God yai kya bol rahe h inhe khud ko pata nahi,sad
Let me inform you that they all learn french and most of them migrate to France.There is an Alliance Française in Kolkata where the courses are very expensive.These Chandannagar students dominate there because they come after learning french from school level.They are the ones who go to France.In fact this Institution is totally controlled by Chandannagar and outsiders pay lakhs of rupees and don't learn a thing.All the Chandannagar people I've met till date..and there are many,are hindutwa agents and Modi bhakts.They even troll and threaten other learners if,during a discussion they criticise the Central Government.The French Government which is mostly Islamophobic also encourages immigration of these people.
This is embarrassing to listen to. Being a bangali I feel sorry to have given the audience a very poor representation of bangali youth.

Ill informed generation :(
Having some basic knowledge when you try to explain the history, is good. From Serampore till Bandel, there were 5 different European settlements in different times. Serampore (Srirampur) was a Dennis settlement, the first printing press of India was set up here. Chandannagore was a French settlement. Chinsurah was a Dutch settlement. Bandel was a Portugese settlement. All were lost to the British, except Chandannagore. While India got independene in 1947, Chandannagore and Pondichery were made independent and part of India in 1954.
Sad to see the level of uninformed taint the young Bengal is doing. Disappointing.

As for as employment both the govt i.e central and state are failed to make any impact. Especially state govt has become a curse for the youth. Education system is totally collapsed.
My bengali friend talk about radical islamaisation and political violence. I ask have u seen one bengali general caste got killed for marrying a obc /sc/st? He said, " Wtf all those thing dont happen any more within hindus, these are muslim thing" I ask him to write honor killings in up/bihar/Rajasthan/bengal/haryana/Andhrapradesh/Punjab etc all the states one by one and go to news section. He found and couldn't believe that only in bengal honor killings dont happen, bengal rank last in caste hatred. I ask him that why in your society parents don't have at least one boy child? He again said, " Wtf we aren't muslim, hindu treat son and daughter equally " I showed him 2cr honor killings which happened in india, and still happening. In Uttrakhand in 132 villages no girl child born for 3months . Just search it . Forget political party, whoever comes in power that doesn't matter much. But i just hope bengal knows that north is not hindu they only chant Sri ram name, ander se they castist racist fetus killer honor killer. All the crime that happening happened in bengal are mostly done by politician such as shahjahan. But NO common people did any harm unlike north where common parents did wrong. Bengali hindus name are laest found in rape in bengal itself, either its muslim or north indian. In other state they don't go for work and slut shame local women, unlike many other. Only in bengal no farmer suicide happened. I hope bengalis also see positive thing in their society.
