[00:00:07][music] >> Uh as I said, nothing of this was intentional, but the it's the people it's the younger people who were actually very frustrated from, I would say, past few years. They didn't have any outlet.

[00:00:26]They were really angry at the government of way the government has been ignoring the concerns of the younger population, be it the unemployment rate, I somewhere felt very disheartened and very upset that how could someone who is sworn to protect the constitution, which grants us the freedom of expression.

[00:00:50]So, basically his duty is to protect freedom of expression, but here he is calling out people for expressing their voices.

[00:00:58]So, I was really upset with that.

[00:01:00]>> [music] >> And for that, I just wrote on my Twitter, "What if all cockroaches unite?" And I got some tremendous response on it from the young people who said, "Yes, we should all get together.

[00:01:09]Maybe we should start something together."

[00:01:19]5 years ago, nobody was ready to speak up against Modi or the [music] government.

[00:01:23]The times are changing.

[00:01:25]Earlier, people were scared.

[00:01:27]But the thing is that for how long they will be scared?

[00:01:30]So, the frustration was there among them, and now they no longer want to be silent.

[00:01:36]Now, they are getting vocal. So, from [music] being afraid of speaking up to getting to a point where they are actually making fun of the government, mocking the government. We have come a long way, and this is the first step.

[00:01:56]This is the movement that has arrived in India >> [music] >> and it will continue for long and it will change the political discourse of India. It will uh continue online and if required, it will also come on the ground.

[00:02:15]If you had noticed the trend in last 4 days, this movement is getting bigger and bigger every single day.

[00:02:21]On first day we had some odd hundred K followers on Instagram.

[00:02:25]Second day, it goes to 500 K. Third day, it goes to 1 million. [music] And today we are at 13 million within 4-5 days. So, you can see the trend it's getting only bigger and bigger. So, it's not going to fizzle out.
