essay on topic the politicians of India misleading the youth
Answers
Answer:
POLITICS is perhaps the most commonly used word in every sphere of life these days. Now when independent India has reached the age of 60, why not have a look at the youth and their perception of politics?
Independent India has completed a journey of 60 successful years. During this period we have witnessed the worst and the best. The changes our country went through have helped it to evolve as a stronger and progressive nation in the world. It’s no secret that for our generation politics as a career comes way down the career option list. Politics is losing its appeal amongst the youth of India.
Reasons are many like rampant corruption, criminalisation of politics, apathy towards people’s needs; lack of accountability and the list goes on. When we have so many options to explore, why should we dirty our hands in politics?
We put the blame on the government and our elected members whenever we see or feel that our representatives are not doing their job efficiently. But more than 50 per cent of population does not take part in political process of our country. Thus we have no right to blame anyone except ourselves. We all feel that the system needs to be changed but we don’t want to take the responsibility on our shoulders. We have potential human resources who can change the scenario, but they choose to go to UK or US for studies and jobs and restrict their lives only to their “secured” jobs and settle there permanently.
The perception of our generation about politics has generally been negative. Though we have few young politicians, they have not been allowed to stretch their wings. The politicians need to open up and promote the young generation in the mainstream politics. It is stereotype to think that only people with gray hair can become successful politicians. In UK, Tony Blair retires at 58 while in our country the chief posts are mostly occupied by the politicians above 50 years of age. The younger generation doesn’t have any outlet to show their principles of leadership. Now ask the youth of India about the politics and there’s an answer straight on your face
