"There are millions of young Indians who feel frustrated with their lives.... I really want the Indian government to take these frustrations seriously." - Snigdha Poonam

LSE South Asia Centre recently invited Snigdha Poonam, journalist at Hindustan Times and author of Dreamers: How Young Indians are Changing the World, for a panel discussion entitled 'Who are the Middle Class in South Asia?' as part of the South Asia Summit 2018. In conversation with Anirbaan Banerjee, she talks about aggressive Indian nationalism, the political and economic frustrations of the middle-class young Indian, women's aspirations and a growing social-political crisis in India.
