In recent times, the widening gap between progressive elites and young men aged 20 to 30 has become a major talking point. This issue, brought to light by global events, is also relevant in India, where young men feel more and more disconnected due to progressive elitism and its policies and attitudes.
For instance, debates around mandatory military service and educational quotas have sparked discussions on fairness. While the Constitution states national defense is a duty for all citizens, young men question why women are exempt. Similarly, in education, reserved seats for women in certain fields have raised concerns about equal opportunities.
Young men argue that they are unfairly labeled as privileged, despite feeling left behind in today’s society. They believe progressive leaders dismiss their concerns instead of addressing them. This has led many to lean toward conservative ideologies, not out of a lack of critical thinking, but due to a loss of faith in progressive solutions.
Experts suggest that instead of isolating young men, political leaders should engage with their concerns and work towards reducing gender conflicts. Ignoring their voices, they warn, could deepen societal divides.
This issue is not just about politics but also about fairness and inclusion. As India moves forward, finding a balance between progress and equality remains a key challenge.
