Mumbai witnessed a student gathering on Monday aimed at sustaining the energy from recent GenZ protests and addressing education concerns. The All India Students’ Association (AISA) organized the event at the Y.B. Chavan Auditorium, drawing a large crowd. AISA president Neha Bora highlighted the gathering as the start of a broader student-led movement focused on transforming the education system and sparking change across the country.
Bora connected the recent protest at Jantar Mantar, sparked by paper leaks, to a decade-long series of student grievances, including Rohith Vemula's suicide due to caste discrimination in 2016 and students being labeled as anti-national. The Jantar Mantar protest’s treatment spurred the students' resolve, according to Bora. The auditorium was filled with chants of "Inquilab Zindabad" as students and attendees voiced solidarity for the movement.
Notable speakers included comedian Varun Grover, Abhishek Mathew, and actor Shabana Azmi, who commended the younger generation for challenging long-held notions about their attitudes and priorities.
