Gen Z didn't create that world, they inherited it

If Gen Z needs to learn manners and sanskar, perhaps it's time the generations before them asked themselves: What kind of environment did we raise them in? We handed them hate and bigotry, we normalised vulgarity, we acquitted rapists and coronated murderers. We built a system that rewards outrage and an ecosystem designed to keep them addicted to social media.

Also who is funding the CJP movement. They won't reveal the details of the Pradhan Sevak's degree, they won't provide audited reports of the PM-CARES fund explaining how the Rs 13,000 crores was spent and who benefited, their infamous IT cell dehumanises and assassinates the  character of any sane citizen demanding answers.  Accountability is beyond the pale of RTI and Parliamentary discussions. Anyone questioning the government is immediately branded as an antinational, urban naxal, traitor, Soros stooge, foreign agent, etc. This generation didn't create that world, they inherited it.
