'Every generation of Indians qualifies as ... ': Shashi Tharoor's reply to son Ishaan's 'ban Boomers on WhatsApp' remark

Ishaan Tharoor posted on X calling for a ban on 'Boomers' using WhatsApp before restricting children's social media.

Shashi Tharoor responded humorously that in India every generation qualifies as baby boomers due to reproductive patterns.

The exchange followed Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu's proposal to ban young children from social media, similar to France's law banning under-15s and phones in schools.

Vembu argued children should read physical books and play outdoors instead of using digital platforms.

The term 'boomer' is used online as slang for older people perceived to hold outdated views.
