VOICE OF THE YOUTH

In its 19th edition, the India Today Mind Rocks Youth Summit set a new benchmark for the event that connects youngsters to their role models. Held on September 14 at the Presidency University campus in Bengaluru, it was the first time that Mind Rocks went beyond its popular auditorium format to become an arena event with 5,000-plus students in attendance. Serving up a non-stop, eclectic line-up of speakers that boasted Bollywood celebrities, Union and state ministers, a best-selling author, start-up hero, supercop, YouTube star and a top standup comedian among others, the day-long summit, in true arenarock spirit, also featured two power-packed concerts by rapper MC Square and Indo-Canadian singer Jonita Gandhi. It wasn't just minds that rocked, the feet did too!

WHY THE YOUTH SHOULD JOIN POLITICS

"I've seen over the past few years there are more younger MPs and MLAs coming up.... We will create opportunities for young people. Please come forward, take up the mantle of leadership. At least from my party, I would like to open the door for young people to come into politics"

KIREN RIJIJU Union Minister, Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs

NEW DIRECTION How the beloved YouTuber remodelled himself as an actor

"Mera dream hai ki main khud ko ek theatre me dekhoon [I dream of seeing myself on the big screen]. I want to make a film; I want to work in a film, not necessarily in the one that I make.... The only reason I opened my own production house was to not let anyone else make a fool of me. I want to learn from my own mistakes"

THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

IN India’s arsenal against Left-wing Extremism, the Naxal surrender policy has emerged as a crucial weapon. By providing Naxal cadres a peaceful exit, the policy has reduced insurgent numbers, disrupted leadership structures and logistical support, and yielded valuable intelligence for counter-insurgency operations. Over the past five years, nearly 3,000 rebels, including mid-level leaders, have surrendered in Chhattisgarh, significantly weakening Naxal influence in its last bastion.

THE POWER SHUFFLE

In politics, words can be weapons, but silence is often the sharpest blade. Barely a day after swearing in seven new ministers, all from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bihar chief minister and Janata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar made an appearance at a public gathering organised by another alliance partner—Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular)—at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on February 28. What followed was an enactment of brevity.
