The political climate of India is ripe with change. There are several political movements shaping up
that may pose a serious challenge to status-quo. It is important to understand the genesis of some of
these attempts, their differentiating characters, and the course that they plan to take over the future.
Janaagraha’s Jaagte Raho! campaign inspires values of active citizenship in urban India by bringing
out the vote for union, state and local elections; and by promoting participation in neighbourhood
areas. The vision of the campaign is to redefine electoral engagement in urban India. As a step
towards increasing political awareness of urban citizens and especially the youth, Janaagraha will
hold a panel discussion on “New Age Political Movements in India”.
