When governments ignore public aspirations, young people can reshape political narrativesMonalisa Changkija“There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. In simple terms, it means it’s now or never and that the key to success in life lies in knowing that a tide, or simply the motivation of men, and it is up to a man to recognize, and seize the opportunity. Those who don’t know history and those who ignore history are doomed to repeat history.

The aftermath of the emergence of the Cockroach Janata Party appears to suggest that such an ebb and tide is slowly happening in the affairs of the country.
