Samiksha Bhattacharjee

Samiksha Bhattacharjee is a social commentator and student at University College London, exploring economics, politics, and culture from a Gen Z perspective. She’s the creator and host of Samiksha’s State of the Debate, a video and article series that covers global issues and culture. Her Substack community brings together thinkers who want to challenge groupthink and speak openly - without censorship or performative outrage. Her work focuses on making complex ideas - especially classical liberal economics - clear and relevant to young people. She advocates for free speech and open discussion, and her commentary challenges the biases that shape campus culture, while pushing for a wider range of views to be heard. She defends free markets, individual liberty, and limited government, while also valuing tradition, cultural cohesion, and national identity. She believes these ideas should be part of mainstream discussion, not treated as taboo. Her goal is to shift the Overton window, simplify complicated ideas, and help young people think for themselves - even if that means questioning the dominant narrative.
