SGIndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed a desire to forgive students who insulted him during protests in July 2023, stating that punishment would not resolve the issue. The protests, sparked by leaked national exam papers and concerns over educational opportunities, led to clashes between demonstrators and security forces, resulting in hundreds of arrests. Modi emphasized guiding youth rather than prosecuting them, calling them 'misled children.'

Meanwhile, Modi increased his engagement with youth via Instagram, leveraging the platform used by the opposition-led Cockroach Janta Party.
