general there is no denying the fact that the young people of the region love adventure and risks - especially of a physical nature. They find it easy to work in groups and gender interactions are spontaneous and easy. Organizational skills seem to come naturally to a majority of them. They are quite articulate and express themselves fearlessly, though exceptions are there. They have appreciable social skills and practical intelligence. Even the rustics among them have a social grace that amazes an observer. (Who would not like to pitch in with a group like this?)
It is such a loveable group that is at the centre of our focus today, for all the challenges that it poses and the possibilities it promises. Where do the young people of North East India find themselves?
The global changes that are at an accelerated pace today have rudely shaken the communities in the region from their slumber (?). I leave it to social scientists to elaborate on the nature and the process of change within communities that were more or less insular. But as may be expected, the impact has been tremendous.
Breakdown of social/community systems, values, attitudes. "Old value systems are crumbling. Alienation is increasing in this era of rapid social change," says Dr. Md Muslih-ud-Din, educationist. (quoted in The Assam Tribune, 29.07.2001). When systems in place crumble all too quickly and are perceived to be obsolete, the elders withdraw not knowing their role and the young grow
up without direction and anchor. The result is, as some psychiatrists in the region say, the emergence of "my world is me" syndrome, to the extent of "doing what you want" without actually thinking about it. There are no role models and nothing is scared - not even parents.
Perception of affluence and glamour as key indicators of development, with little or no thought given to values and change in mindsets. The opportunity available for corruption in the system, the administration of development process by the rigid and "statistics oriented" government, and the lack of awareness and consequential exploitation of the masses have contributed to this. The contribution I can make to development is that I become rich and I have all that I can dream of! Even the rural illiterate are not free of the influence of the "Reebok shoes, Rayban glasses" attitude towards progress and development.
