India being a multi-faceted country, has been the abode of origin for many cultures and traditions. But with these rich cultures , also accompanied some of the practices  that went on to become a system  which today has become  one of the biggest threats  of our society  i.e. “THE SOCIAL  EVILS”. Some of them  to be mentioned are Dowry system , Female infanticide , Child marriage, Caste system , Prostitution, Corruption etc..(Though corruption is not a by-product of ancient customs but a result of men’s never ending greed ).   We cannot always build the future for our youth but we can build our youth for the future  –   said  Franklin.D.Roosevelt.  Here the emphasis is given on youths as an important asset for a  country. Their power and capability to build a strong nation is a vital component for its growth . Youths are filled with tremendous energy and fire , which shouldn’t be wasted. For, a nation’s  human resource is its primary force . They  have the power to unify the individuals and destroy these social evils.  And all these can be achieved only through “Education“, the ultimate weapon. Youths need to be educated in order to form an abled citizen for our future. They must be taught to put our nation first than their self-interests.   The seeds of patriotism and self- discipline should be implanted in their minds to fight against these atrocities. Greed and Lust should be replaced with honesty and truthfulness to treat Corruption . Youth, when upholds the concept of humanity over  casteism , shall be able to lead the society  to look  beyond the varna system and its divisions. Dowry system is another symbol of objectifying women. Domestic violence and  Prostitution has further degraded  the status of women  . Its  only through  empowering young girls  can we be able to bring about changes  regarding society’s outlook  towards  women. Gender Inequality is not just a concern of women but of each and person who forms a part of this society. Boys, from a very young age must be taught to treat girls respectfully and also must raise their voice against eve-teasing, molestation and also violence against women. It is also the responsibility of men to protect her and defend her honor. Sex education must be imparted among youths to eliminate any misconceptions about sex, and treat it as a natural phenomenon. This would further help to reduce the number of rape cases emerging on a day to day basis. The upcoming generations should understand that  having a girl child is not a liability but a matter  of pride . Equality shall prevail over inequality.  Our  youth should be equipped with  skills that will be beneficial for the economy’s growth .  It is only the  youth who can bring the society from its blind-foldedness   to the lights of reality. Youth can serve as a pillar for development and destroy such baseless beliefs that ruin the society.  Indian population mostly  comprises of youths and therefore it is  necessary to invest in our young minds to  fuel  their passion and confidence to make our society and world a better place to live in.
