Write a short essay on Whither Indian Youth(At least 200 words)
Answers
Explanation:
The old uphold traditional values, conservative ideologies and customary outlook. The young represent the emerging patterns, newly adopted ways of life and the nascent tendencies. If the old are proud of their accumulated wisdom, which has been tested and verified through experience, the young are confidently ambitious of winning their goal, which they have conceived and modeled according to the new fledged hopes. The younger are liberal in outlook, plastic in their thinking, energetic and adventurous in their actions. The older are conservative in their ways, cautious in their approach and worldly in opinions. Consequently the younger generation is more sensitive to social maladjustments, political exploitations and the economic difficulties. Their involvement in the national affairs is emotional so their reactions are also emotional. There is no sobering influence of intellect in the case of the young and they register their grievances through violent protests. It is perhaps wrong to say that the youth is always rebellious and the unrest among them is the symptom if a deeper malady than a usual dissatisfaction with the ideal. We may deplore the agitations but equally condemnable is the authority’s tendency to over-react. It is foolishness to argue that students should remain insulated from what is happening around them; they will not refrain from participating, in bringing about changes which they consider necessary for social betterment. They may, of course, be persuaded to think independently and to act according to their own judgment and not to be led by political forces with partisan axes to grind.
