- Examine the transiting social movements from physical movements to virtual movements in 21st century India. (Answer in 150 words)
Introduction
Indian protest has not left the street; it has acquired a second theatre online.
Body
1. How the shift is taking place: Cheap data after 2016 moved mobilisation onto the handset. Campaigns now begin as hashtags, as the MeToo disclosures of 2018 did, and older movements have added a digital wing: the 2020 farmers' agitation ran occupation and social media together.
2. What the virtual form makes possible: Scale without organisation, speed without a permit, and no gatekeeper, so a grievance reaches a national audience without a newspaper's consent, and it joins people too dispersed to assemble.
3. What it costs a movement: Commitment thins: Gladwell's objection holds that online ties are weak, and weak ties do not sustain risk. The state answers with internet shutdowns, ordered here more often than anywhere, and the digital divide excludes the poor and women.
4. A judgement on the transition: It amplifies rather than replaces: the farm laws fell after a year of bodies on a road, not a hashtag.
Conclusion
Movements still change policy by occupying space; the screen only speeds the news.
