    It is not just any Indian student in Boston, it is a political person who worked on meme-content for the opposition party.

    > Before founding the CJP, Dipke volunteered with the social media team of the Aam Aadmi Party, from 2020 to 2023. During this period, he produced meme-based content aimed at young voters in the 2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election and advised the Delhi government’s education department on communications.
