In this excerpt, Saurav Das and Tushar Gandhi talks about the rise of a youth-led protest movement and why it reminded him of Mahatma Gandhi's methods of satyagraha, non-violent resistance and civil disobedience. Despite growing up with scepticism about mass movements, he explains how watching young people embrace peaceful protest gave him renewed hope for democratic action.   The full documentary explores why Gandhi's ideas continue to resonate with a new generation and how young Indians are rediscovering the relevance of non-violence, dissent and civic responsibility. https://youtu.be/H1826_OhPzA?si=EVMA-6UmUF445MAu Thank you for watching our video!
