What Holds Back India’s Privileged Youth from Taking the Lead in Driving Progress?

Has it become really hard to stage a revolution like we witnessed during India's independence struggle or in the 70s? What are they afraid of? Have they lost hope for the country, or do they feel it's impossible to change the status quo?
