The reframing of the political narrative by Gen Z at Jantar Mantar
TL;DR · WeSearch summary

“All is well.” The line from Three Idiots became an anthem of optimism for an entire generation. The film portrayed the story of three friends trying to break free from the rigid expectations imposed by India’s education system.Aamir Khan played Rancho, whose real identity in the film was Phunsukh Wangdu, an engineer and innovator living in Ladakh. The character was widely believed to have been inspired by innovator-turned-activist Sonam Wangchuk, who later emerged as the face of the anti-paper leak protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.Ironically, the protest site represented the exact inversion of the film’s celebrated refrain.
