But what sets this generation apart–and what it shares with Gen Z members all over the world–is that they are digital natives. India's deep diversity in language, caste, class and culture is reflected in its youth. More than half of India’s 1.4 billion population is under 25 the median age, at 28, is 10 years younger than China’s. Born exactly 57 years after India broke from colonial rule and split into two nations-India and Pakistan-Samreen, now 18, is part of India’s Generation Z, the largest youth population of any country. If those born 75 years ago at the moment of India’s independence-as the clock struck midnight on August 15, 1947-were “Midnight’s Children,” in the words of author Salman Rushdie, Samreen and her young followers are the grandchildren of the Midnight generation. She has 3.8 million YouTube subscribers-and she just graduated from 12th grade. She uses costumes, props and zany editing for quick comic send-ups on parents, family dynamics, teenage angst, basically, ordinary life. In her videos she’s fast-talking, expressive and funny.

'So I keep changing the entire look of my room.' “If I don’t change the background of my videos, my followers will get bored, she says. This is where she broadcasts to her YouTube subscribers every Saturday at 2 p.m. Her current wallpaper, a pastel pink, is accented with a light installation spelling out “You Go Girl.” The only things she doesn’t change are the brass plates inscribed with prayers from the Quran. Samreen Ali changes her bedroom decor every six months.
