Saurav Das, in an Independence Day message, said that “something within us has finally broken free. THE FEAR”, while calling for unity among Gen-Z and young people.
In a post shared on Independence Day, Das said the country was perhaps celebrating the occasion “in its truest sense” after 12 long years.
My message to the dearest patriots.Happy Independence Day. 🇮🇳Perhaps, after 12 long years, we are celebrating Independence Day in its truest sense. Because something within us has finally broken free. THE FEAR.A generation that was told to remain silent has found its voice… pic.twitter.com/6Zo5GgiJkO
He wrote, “A generation that was told to remain silent has found its voice and the medium. A generation that was told nothing would change has begun to BELIEVE again. An era of awakening has begun. An era of peaceful protest has begun.”
Das further said that “slowly, but definitely, we will WEED OUT the old, the corrupt, the incompetent and the arrogant.”
Describing the current period as the beginning of a larger movement, Das wrote, “We are only getting started.”
He said a Jantar Mantar was “being born in every district of this country today”, describing it as a place where people who felt hopeless could find hope in one another and those who felt powerless could discover the strength of standing together.

He added that ordinary citizens would raise their voices against what he described as an unjust system.
“We need to be each other’s courage. Each other’s strength. Each other’s hope,” Das wrote.
Das also alleged that those in power were attempting to divide Gen-Z and young people by framing the situation as “Your Gen Z vs Our Gen Z”.
He questioned the reason behind the alleged effort and said history showed that “there is nothing more powerful than a people who refuse to be divided!”
“They will divide. We will unite. They will spread fear. We will spread courage. And when the time comes, we will remember. Sab yaad rakha jayega. Aur tab, hum dekhenge,” he wrote.
Das said that the time he referred to was “not very far away”.
Concluding his Independence Day message, he wrote, “The mind is without fear now. And there is no going back.”
