In India, young people are unhappy with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They start a protest. This protest is special because young people, called Gen Z, lead it. They use their phones to share what they think.
Prime Minister Modi usually controls how people see him. He has a strong image that he builds carefully. But now, these young protesters are changing that. They make short videos and funny pictures called memes. They share these on the internet very fast.
With their phones and these new tools, the young people are taking charge of the digital story. This means they decide what news and ideas people see online about the protest. They show their own side of the story, and it is very different from what Modi's team usually shows.
