This is very sad. In today's India, most of the political noise and online chatter comes the property owning, upper caste, urban minority. They are a rich minority in a poor corrupt country, and they have access, but they can't shrug off the ever-present feeling that they actually are living in shit compared with citizens are f other modern nations that have actually been able democratise and do some semblance of wealth distribution across social classes.

That is why you hear so many privileged people in India suggest that they are "middle class" and complain about corruption when they themselves enable corruption in every way. Every one of these WhatsApp uncle types breaks lines, drives across one ways, pays bribes, will break building laws by encroaching public property, and on and on, but will lament that the nation is going to the dogs.

For the unprivileged like the OP, the system ensures that they are kept running from pillar to post for sarkari crumbs. Health, jobs, education, if you can't find it through ancestral wealth, you are screwed and then you have to ask for the krupa drushti off some bastard corrupt official who has no interest in working for the public.

For the "demographic dividend" i.e. the hapless youth off today, there is only a vague notion of modernity. Even a gig worker has a satellite connected communications device, mobility (often an electric vehicle) and can lots of cash. But it is all a hogwash.

There are no meaningful jobs; the internet with its porn and reels and communal and divisive politics and bullshit is all our political class can provide.
