First refer following Personalities:

1. Chanakya (kautilya).
2. Mahatma Gandhi.
3. Mao Ze Dong.
4. Winston Churchill.
5. Franklin Roosewelt.

All of these are the great political personalities world ever had. They continue their practicing even at last stage of their lives. And I am sure nobody will question at their capabilities of their minds.

One's age shouldn't be concerned with respect to his/her talent. What politicians need is Honesty, patriotism, morality, Ethics and lot of hard work to represent the brighter side of the country at international level.

If any politician has above mentioned qualities, we should accept him/her without concerning their age.

Hi every one,

We know the proverb in English, even all the languages. "Experience makes man perfect", it will applicable in all the field. Even the younger generations are very advance in technology but they can't take accurate decisions in all the situations,

Hence, we require both Seniors and Younger to lead the country, for e.g in a family most of the decisions are are taken by the father, to attain the goal with the co-operation of entire family (younger son, daughter etc) same applicable in politics also.

Hence, age limits are not barrier for politicians at the same time the chances are should be given to the youth like us. Guys are agree with me right?

There should be a retirement age for politicians as it is beneficial for the growth of the country as there is no autocracy and dictatorship in the country which is very harmful from past experience, and also mans physical and mental capability is not able to perform well after some time. But at the same time in the case of some situations, it is no barrier as take example of us presidents who cross 70 and was successfully able to run the country also Vladimir Putin is their if he will not their then western country and us will balkanise the Russia. So, it does not depend on age it also depend on situation of country when to retire and when not.

H! Guys,

I'm Vimal Sharma.

As we all know.

When our former president Mr. Apj Abdul Kalam was giving his speech. He had a heart attack. Therefore. There is no age limitation.

According to me, in this topic, Should not be politician age of retirement. Because as we all know that, every person has not keep leadership qualities.

Or to be a leader you must have a good experience new ideas n new technologies. And he has a creative mind.

And which keep AAP the qualities.

All this can be found the only experience.

So I considered that Should not be age limitation for a politician.

According to me, politician age doesn't matter.

I think age should not be the criteria for the politicians rather it should be their efficiency and competitiveness and we should not forget it's we people who are electing them to lead us so at the time of electing our representatives we should make our decision purely on the basis of their performance on field. And we know India is very large country and have very important role in international affairs as well so we need the people with experience to lead the country and make better decisions for the betterment of the nation and at the same time we should also encourage the participation of youth in the politics.

Yes, of course we, the people should agree that nothing is static. So there is a need of retirement for politicians too. So even now, if they don't go ahead with retirement policy, people remains same and too problem remains same. We knows that experienced remains a lot.

Even now, the experienced candidates are head of our Indian politics and still they are fighting against their own matters not people matters. So if they retired at a certain age, may be some other people stands out and win, further they might change our nation tremendously better than others.

Changes will always change something.

Thank you.

I totally feel that there should be an age limit for politicians but we should not totally avoid the senior politicians considering their age. They have experienced the country through different situation throughout their life and they totally know that what all things are good for the nation and how can it affect a country's long run experience is something with great importance.

But along with that we also need great energy and positive spirit which youngsters have. So, in my opinion the ruling body or cabinet should also have a reservation for young leaders making it a combination of experience and energy.

I think there should not be any age limit because as far as politics is concerned skills come with experience and skills lead to the development of the country. If some politician is good enough at their work and able to bring peace and development we should keep promoting him. A retirement in politics is not like that a vacancy has been created just like in some companies and people got recruited in their positions. If young ones want to join then they can open their own parties and show their skills. But if we put an age limit we have to lose some politicians who are exceptionally good at their fields.

Hi friends,

An aged politician can be more knowledgeable but look at the other part of his physical strengths which is also equally important, an aged politician cannot show up enthusiasm. In country like India people always wish their leader to be enthusiastic, dynamic, physically and mentally fit. So in nut shell to say retirement slab for politicians is a healthy move.

But along with that we also need great energy and positive spirit which youngsters have. So, in my opinion the ruling body or cabinet should also have a reservation for young leaders making it a combination of experience and energy.

Hi guys.

My thought is that politicians should have a particular age when they would go out of seat, I know experience matters in this but the politicians need to give rise to younger ones in some places like Nigeria you can see a president still on seat at the age of 60 which is very wrong.

At a very old age like that all he can think of is how to embezzle money from the country income but if younger generations stand for president and eventually becomes a president he would have ideas on how to help the county at his young age I think the retirement age for president should be 60-70 years.
