Z世代俚語席捲印度議會，引發「蟑螂黨」抗議活動

India's parliament recently experienced something new when politicians began using Gen Z slang during a debate. This happened after a wave of protests led by young people, especially those from the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP. The protests started because many students were upset about exam leaks and unfair practices. The CJP began as a group making jokes online, but soon became a serious movement. They used social media platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram to organize protests and share their ideas. Their messages were full of memes, funny videos, and slang words like 'delulu', 'FOMO', and 'clock it'. These words are usually used by young people online, but now they were being heard in the parliament.

After the education minister resigned, the government introduced a new law to stop exam leaks. During the debate, politicians from different parties started using Gen Z slang. One politician accused the opposition of being 'MIA', which means missing in action, and having 'FOMO', or fear of missing out. He also said they were 'delulu', meaning they were not seeing things clearly. Another politician used a popular protest phrase to make fun of the government. Even members of the ruling party joined in, saying the Prime Minister had 'clocked it', which means he did something right. Some politicians joked about using these words, but soon everyone was using them.

Experts say that politicians often use popular language to connect with voters. In the past, they used phrases from movies or sports. Now, they are using internet slang. But some young people are not impressed. They say that just using their words is not enough. They want real changes, not just politicians trying to sound cool. The protests showed that young people can have a big impact, and now even the parliament is paying attention to how they talk. However, some worry that the government is trying to control the movement by removing protest content online and taking legal action against activists. Supporters of the protests say that humor and memes are just how their generation communicates, and that using these words in parliament is a sign that their voices are being heard, even if real change is still needed.
