How do youth movements succeed?

Youth-led movements often gain traction through their energy, digital savvy, and ability to mobilise large numbers, as seen with India's 'Cockroach' movement. Their success often hinges on sustained protests and clear demands, which previously led to an education minister's resignation. They can pressure governments into policy changes.
