Nobel Prize and Pearl S. Buck
Role of youth in nation building
I thought it would be better to discuss the role of youth in nation’s building. According to me, “Youth is that spark which needs no ignition”.Youth is that clay which can be molded in either shape one wants. In my belief, this is the sole reason for both exploitation and utilization of youth in the destruction and construction of any nation respectively.
Yes, I agree that, youth is not given a proper chance to prove their potentials in countries like ours, but, “The young” , according to Pearl S. Buck, (a Nobel Laureate in literature) “do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation”.
Isn’t this single quotation of her is sufficient to motivate the whole nation? Or do we still need motivational quotes like the one above to recall our own potentials to attempt the impossible and achieve the success? It seems highly surprising that, we, the youth fail to display the same enthusiasm in nation’s building which we often display for getting ahead in traffic? Have we really forgotten our responsibility towards our nation or that we are knowingly skipping the tasks to achieve development? It is observed that, the youth who always fight for enjoying their rights, never wish to take up the pains of responsibility.
According to me, Indian youth is socially responsible and moreover is working complicatedly to see India attain the developed status. Many educated youth had already realized the necessity of utilizing their skills for the betterment of the society but at the same time, the youth is also misguided to a larger extent by some evil sources making them irresponsible towards the society they live in. It is pathetic but true that, due to many –a-problems that exists in today’s world, youth is highly attracted and/or fancied towards evil sources. As a result, a huge destruction is occurring all over. It is true that, youth is highly amendable, but one

    Following Spanish philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset (1923), Mannheim (1952[1928]: 296) explained that because of the lack of experience (which ‘facilitates their living in a changing world’) background that young people have, they might play a significant role in social change (See Berger, 1960, Merico, 2009). Additionally, as ‘outsiders’, young people is enable to accommodate new attitudes, behaviours and cultural patterns. Arulmani et al (2014) stated that youth have the capabilities “to expand their notions of who they are, who they can be, and who would they like to be, and set forth on the challenging task of navigating adulthood and (more specifically) their careers”; even so, not all of young people have the same opportunities to leverage these capabilities.…

    The younger generation has an attitude of "I don't care". Degraded moral values have become a fashion for them. In schools, students proudly admit that they smoke or have indulged in some sort of bad activity. They forget their ethical values and duties towards society and the nation. Morals and values are just the past. It’s depressing to see the newspaper early in the morning to witness various murder and rape cases. Programs telecasting about various ill-treatments of woman and deaths and accidents score a greater a viewing rate as compared to any discovery channel or something useful (not really these days. The main cause for the rise of such uncivilized grounds of terror and hatred is just the result of inappropriate educational values right from the childhood and nil importance to human values which need to be imbibed to the student at an early level. The increasing practice of doing everything just for the sake of money has killed the minute pieces of kindness making them dormant forever. Practising morals has become so rare that anyone following the basic morals is considered mad, sane and a scapegoat for all. One seeing today's India can never wholeheartedly admit this was birth place of great…

As the clock ticked and time flew, things started to change their discourse. The new century brought about much advancement along with the change in trends of Pakistani youth.…

    Youth Politics is a category which involves or otherwise impacts the Youth. It was first identified in the American Politics with the formation of the American Youth Congress in the 1930s. Omar Abdullah’s recent speech in parliament on the confidence motion started with, “I am an INDIAN first and Muslim second”; and brought the focus on the importance of the Youth in bringing new ideas, freshness and transparency in the Indian politics. One of the stories that unforgettably describes India’s tragedy is- “The mother of India had two sons. One knew how to run (the country), but went to fly and met his end; the other knew how to fly, but went to run the country and met his end.” Symbolically, that has always been India’s problem– misallocation of resources and incapable leaders at zenith.…

    Some of the charges brought against modern youth are that they represent a rudderless generation without any ideals to live by or cause to live for. They are afflicted with compulsive irreverence which manifests itself in increasing defiance of parental authority and revolt against established social norms. On the slightest pretext they take to streets, indulging in violence. They want to attract attention through unconventional behavior. They are becoming a generation of drug addicts and have developed an aversion to honest hard work, ever on the look out to have something for nothing. Its no longer anxious youth going forth, into a hostile world. Now its hostile youth going forth into an anxious world this is not sure what to expect from it.…

    “Dream, dream, dream, your dreams will transform into thoughts, thoughts lead to honest work, work results in action and you will succeed” has been rightly said by Dr.Abul Pakir Jainul Abideen Abdul Kalam. Dreams can be accomplished by youth as they have commitment to action. To quote Jean Ingelow “Youth! Youth! How buoyant are the hopes; they turn, Like marigolds, towards the sunny side”. Students’ life is meant for studies to become true and responsible citizens, formidable leaders and esteemed legislators as India entails such intellectually alert and adroit disciples. A nation of disciplined youth can travel in the path of progress. They play a crucial mantle in the endeavours for equality and justice. They must assimilate from the very beginning- the lessons of self-help, self-reliance and self-sacrifice. Youth should be jawans and take up arms against the corrupted people and spill the beans on to the public so as no person ever never has the nerve to indulge in any illegal activities.…

    The youth, while appearing omnipotent are also malleable, amenable to being shaped and moulded more than any other strata of society. Many of those who were part of successful youth movements in the past, however, feel that unlike in their time, the present generation is insufficiently ideologically oriented, if not self-seeking. Possibly this may explain why no nationally successful youth movements have taken place since 1991, the relative absence of young entrepreneurs or politicians in Bangladesh compared to India or China, and worse, the continuous infighting, violence and vandalism characterizing the youth associated with various political parties, and so on.…
