Neha Bora, president of the All India Students' Association (Aisa), has praised Bangladesh's Gen-Z movement for inspiring young people in India to stand up for democracy and voting rights.
In a video message congratulating the Socialist Students Front on its sixth national conference, Neha expressed solidarity with the Bangladeshi student organisation and said young activists in India were drawing inspiration from movements led by their counterparts in Bangladesh.
"We extend our solidarity to you. We take inspiration from you, lessons from the movements that you lead," she said.
She also credited Bangladesh's Gen-Z movement with showing young people in India a path towards collective action.
"Revolutionary greetings to the Socialist Students Front on your sixth National Conference. We present you our red salute. And we know that the Gen-Z movement that we are seeing everywhere in this country first started in Bangladesh. And congratulations to you for showing us the way," she said.
Neha said young people in India were also participating in and leading movements to defend democratic and voting rights, drawing parallels between the struggles of students in the two neighbouring countries.
She expressed hope that students and activists from Bangladesh and India would work together to build a better South Asia and a better world.
