The Azadi Chant's Resurgence: A Symptom of India's Crumbling Democracy The streets of New Delhi have recently been filled with the cries of "Azadi", a slogan once considered radical and treasonous but now a rallying cry for young Indians who feel disenfranchised by government policies.
This chant, made famous by the Bollywood film Gully Boy, has become an anthem for a movement challenging the Modi government's grip on India's politics.
The recent protests in New Delhi, sparked by the exam leak scandal and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's ousting, marked a turning point in the resurgence of the Azadi chant.
