> Neha Bora, a 29-year-old PhD student, theatre artist and activist, has become one of the most recognisable figures in India’s recent Gen Z-led protests. Demonstrators plan to gather in Delhi on Saturday to demand the chief election commissioner’s resignation, alleging electoral rolls were manipulated to favour Narendra Modi’s BJP. The Election Commission and BJP reject the accusation. Bora says their group will join the protest.
