In Jharkhand, a state where government employment represents one of the few reliable paths to stability, thousands of young people gathered to challenge the integrity of civil service qualifying exams — only to be met with tear gas. The confrontation reveals a deeper tension woven through modern India: a vast generation seeking fair access to secure futures, and institutions whose credibility is increasingly questioned. How a government responds to such a moment — with reform or with force — tells us much about whose concerns it considers legitimate.
