The Story in Brief
Rahul Gandhi responded to a Batman meme during an Instagram question-and-answer session for Gen Z, saying, “Let’s just say that no one has ever seen me and Batman in the same room together.” He also posted a rain-soaked video set to The Dark Knight theme, drawing attention on social media.
The session covered student protests, education, women’s rights and political philosophy. On protests in Jharkhand, Gandhi said India’s education system had become unaffordable and oppressive, and urged every government to act. He said women deserved equal space in public life and named former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh as his favourite BJP politician.
The Indian Opinion
Some social media posts treat a Batman joke as proof of a political masterstroke, while others dismiss any humour from a politician as unserious. Both readings are lazy. The exchange shows familiarity with internet culture, not public approval or policy success. The useful test is whether Gandhi’s broader answers lead to specific action on student grievances, including the Jharkhand protests.
