What young urban Indians want: carpools, gender parity, and arranged marriages

Young people in the world’s youngest democracy want to go beyond social media activism. Over 80% Indian Gen Z and millennials have actively participated in citizen-led initiatives to help their neighbourhoods, according to MTV’s “Mera Bharat Amazeballs” survey. Activities like beach clean-ups, organising carpools, participating in government initiatives like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or tree plantation drives were popular among young Indians.
