Politics is the art of governing the policies, people and framing rules for the well being of common people.
Politics is an age old science in India. And the question, Should youth indulge in politics always arise in any country?
There can be two reasons for this deplorable scene of Indian politics. One may be that the youth today are not interested in actively participating in the political field.
They are content with what they are doing and how the country is being governed.
But this reason seems to hold no ground seeing the discontent shown by the youngsters towards cases like reservation, Jessica lal murder case etc.
The youth of modern India are aware of the problems facing our country and the world at large.
Given a chance they would be ready to change the political condition of the country for better.
Second reason may be that young people are not given opportunities to prove themselves claiming that they are not equipped with experience to participate actively in the governance of the country.
This reason seems to be more logical seeing the monopoly of old leaders in almost all the major political parties of the country.
Old people should realize that proper development can take place only when they make way for younger people to take control of the activities.
The youth should come forward to take part in politics as this is vital for the reformation of society.
More than 50 per cent of the country's population is in the age group of 25-40 years; still their representation in politics is miniscule.
Their participation is important not just for mere statistics but also for increasing efficiency of the work for underprivileged and needy.
The whole system is corrupt and distorted. But the youth should keep in mind that if democracy dies, then dictatorship is bound to occur and we should not allow that to happen.
The youth could bring about revolutionary changes in society
