Reclaiming Voice, Reshaping Power: Sociological Reflections on Youth Agency in The Future is Ours by Sudhanshu Kaushik
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In an era of shifting power dynamics and growing youth disillusionment with traditional politics, Sudhanshu Kaushik’s The Future is Ours: The Political Promise of India’s Youth emerges as a timely and compelling narrative. This research paper examines the text through a sociological lens, highlighting how it positions youth not as passive recipients of legacy systems, but as dynamic agents of change. Drawing from key frameworks such as Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, Symbolic Interactionism, and Postcolonial Sociology, the study explores how Kaushik constructs youth identity, critiques systemic ageism, and foregrounds grassroots activism as a pathway to democratic renewal.
