With over 70% of India’s 1.2 billion demographic below the age of 30, ‘The Future Is Ours’ tackles the crucial question of whether young Indians are prepared to actively participate in creating their own future. Sudhanshu Kaushik provides a compelling exploration of politics and representation from the unique perspective of the country’s youth. The book encompasses historical context, analysis of youth demographics, surveys on political beliefs, and details of their representation in political parties, assemblies, and parliament.
In anticipation of the book launch, Sudhanshu Kaushik shared his perspective, stating, “The 2024 General Elections will be decided by India’s youth, as will 2029. The youth vote is the most consequential vote-bank, yet it is the least understood and talked about. In ‘The Future Is Ours,’ I explain politics and representation from the perspective of young Indians. The book has historical context, analysis of youth demographics and surveys of young people and their political beliefs, details of their representation in political parties, assemblies, and the parliament.”
Sudhanshu emphasizes the need for empowering young people, saying, “To fix the rampant ageism that exists in India, we need to empower young people in all aspects of society, including India’s electoral democracy, and this book talks about how.”
Associate Publisher, Swati Chopra, underlines the timely nature of the book, stating, “India is an overwhelmingly ‘young’ country, yet the average age of its politicians firmly places it in the category of a ‘gerontocracy.’ ‘The Future Is Ours’ is Sudhanshu Kaushik’s call to action — both to young Indians and to political parties. It is an unmissable read for anyone who cares about the future of this country.”
