The Story in Brief
BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has praised Gen Z as India’s “strength” and an asset to the country, days after calling some young protesters and women “Generation Gutter”. Speaking to PTI on Friday, Ranaut said young people were becoming ambassadors of India’s culture and identity. She also welcomed youth connecting with the RSS and its chief, Mohan Bhagwat.
Ranaut had earlier criticised videos from student protests at Jantar Mantar and NEET-related demonstrations, objecting to the language used against political leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She described the clips as “puke inducing” and said she needed healing and a digital detox after watching them.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narratives are that Ranaut has either exposed an entire generation or made a complete political retreat. Neither follows from the record. Her first remarks targeted some protesters, but used sweeping and insulting language about young people and women. Her latest statement praises Gen Z in equally broad terms. The useful test is whether she can distinguish criticism of abusive protest language from respect for dissenting citizens in her next intervention.
