What do India’s millennials want and how are they transforming one of the vital youngest, most populous nations on the earth?

More than half of India is under the age of twenty-five, but India’s millennials are nothing like their counterparts in the West. In a country that may be an increasing number of characterized by ambition and crushing limitations, this can be a generation that cannot―and won’t―be defined on anything but their own terms. They’re wealth-chasers, hucksters, and fame-hunters, desperate to escape their narrow prospects. They’re the dreamers.

Award-winning journalist Snigdha Poonam traveled through the small towns of northern India to investigate the phenomenon that may be India’s Generation Y. From dubious entrepreneurs to political aspirants, from starstruck strivers to masterly swindlers, these are the clickbaiters who create viral content for Facebook and the internet scammers who stalk you at home, but They’re also defiant student union leaders made up our minds to turn into campus life. Poonam made her way―on carts and buses, in cars and trucks―through India’s badlands to uncover a theater of toxic masculinity, a spirited brew of ambition, and a hunger for change that may be bound to drive the way forward for the country.
