India has a strongest weapon that is its youth. It has about 50% of the total population as youth and if given proper opportunity and accessibility to participate in Indian political system. It will surely have a positive impact on not only for the individual growth but also for the overall development of the country. As youth is known for being well advanced in education, compatible with the advanced technology and full of new ideas, when mixed with experienced politicians will lead to right balance and cleansing of political system.

According to me, youth should not be in politics because they lack the maturity and patience required for it. They don't have enough knowledge about politics. They should first explore the world and understand the problems that we are facing before joining politics.

Hai.

Well, I will support for this.

Because our India is developing country. For this developing country, we should have developing skills in every sector.

If the youth will take chance to lead the country once there will be a lot of benefits nd changes will take place.

Nowadays everyone is inspired and they are coming to know what actually happening in the politics. They definitely dedicated themselves because they know what problems they are facing with the present government so they can take care of those things in their leadership. If they will participate in politics there may be expectations for the eradication of corruption and all the bad illustrated things that are going in nowadays. Sri. Kalam ji said that India will develop by 2020. He said that only by considering the statistics of Indian population which have more youth. Of course, there are many fields in which the youth taking part like army navy and many. They are fascinated because they want to do something for their nation. That spirited hearts will make India best if they show interest towards politics. Doing is better than saying. Because we can do nd express in our own passion.

Finally, youth can do anything and if they were in the politics definitely we will see a lot of changes.

That's all.

THANK YOU.

1. Involvement in politics can be either for money and fame or to actually bring a change. Definitely, youth should enter into politics but only the one with right mindset.

2. Yes, experience matters the most. I am not suggesting that the senior officials must be wiped out from the system entirely, rather involvement of youth will bring an equilibrium in decision making.

3. Half the population of India are youth, hence their involvement in politics will provide a greater edge as they can more easily comprehend the challenges faced by them.

Hello everyone.

According to my point of view, India is a developing country. So we need best person to run the politics. I agree with the topic (youth in politics). Because youth has brilliant ideas and think in various situations and how to rectify. But now a days politics is very poor and these politicians are improve our annual income but no one care with the people (I said few people only not at all). So, so many problems are occur in our country and people are scared to face the problem. Today government policy is not useful for poor people or rural people. Because today world is going on digital world but poor people can't understand the digital making process. For example: demonization and mobile banking. Youth students can solve these kind of problems and to create awareness for mobile banking and digitalization process in a rural areas. But today politicians can't see these kind of problems. Politics is very important to development in our country. Finally, I suggest youth in politics to develope our country. Today politics is depends upon "coin', they have two sides (one side is bad and another is good). So which side is choose it to develope our country. It's based on youth's.

Hello,

Today's topic is youth in politics, it is a nice idea but it's both good and bad. Like a coin has two sides it also has two side one is, educated people who are aware of problems and laws can solve them with relevant sources.

Second is nowadays politics are treated as like quicksand once we put our leg in it we will be doomed, by this mentality many persons who are eligible and young are not entering in it.

Due to this those peope are coming who are not at all eligible, and politicians are getting their sons and daughters as youth icons which is not at all a good thing.

Thanks you.

Hello guys. Good morning.

I'm CHANDAN BAKSHI (NIT JAMSHEDPUR).

Today, I will discuss youth in politics. The country desperately needs some young leaders who are energetic, enthusiastic, morally sound and diligent. There is no doubt that our country has progressed a great deal since the time of independence, but I'm sure our development would have proceeded much faster if we had some young torchbearers to light the way.

There can be two reasons for this deplorable state of Indian politics. One may be that the youth today are not interested in actively participated in the political field. They are content with what they are doing and how the country is being governed.

The second reason is maybe that young people are not given opportunities to prove themselves with the excuse that they are not sufficiently experienced to participate actively in the governance of the country. Almost all the major political parties seem to be functioning under the monopoly of old leaders. Old people should realize that they must make way for youngster people to take control of the activities.

Occasionally, old people think youngsters have not to experience at all. But according to me, youth should participate in politics as we have seen that we can't maturity by age level it's depending on the presence of mind and how the person is thinking about the situation involving all the countries like India. India is the country of youth so the requirement of the youth only understands by youth only so in my broadminded and the accept changes very quickly and they have the ability to take a risk. And the main point is experiencing can't gain by the age it depends on our understanding level so the experience doesn't matter. So youth is mandatory in politics. Thank you!

With population over a billion people, Republic India is the worlds largest Democracy. And for all obvious reasons it is a cumbersome task to govern a Country like India. India, the packet of Diversified cultures, ethnicities, languages and mindsets has always been a mysterious country when it comes to its integrity. It has been 56 years that India was declared a free country. Since then the country is undergoing major changes in terms of Social, Economical, Political and Technological aspects. But, there is one key function of that drives the remaining three. That is nothing but The Political system of India.

Indian Politics have been interesting since its inception. Some people often say " Many things have changed, but Politics in India have been the same". Is it really so ? We need to think about this. Governments change over a period of time, Power slips from one political party to another. But the so called properties of the political system have often seemed to be the same. The parties which we have are nothing but a set of aged intellectuals that were distributed among different groups following their own doctrines.

The majority of Indian population is under the age of 35, but its politicians are largely a gerontocracy. The political parties are filled with aged, old men and women who often look like members of exclusive pensioners' club. The question that now arises is that "Is this generational rift between the citizens and the political setup desirable?".

No, definitely NO. This setup has resulted in a system that is very redundant in its decision making. Now the scenario has changed drastically. The prevailing problems of the country are continuously hampering the growth of the country. In the dark mist of never ending poverty, illiteracy and many other disadvantages there is a need of a new Dawn.

A dawn that brings prosperity, that brings hope, that brings a new beginning, and that brings a new system altogether. Our political system certainly requires Re-structuring in order take the country forward with the pace that can match with the other developing countries.

Given the kind of electoral make-up India has, the dearth of young politicians on the front benches is purely implausible. They are patronized, suspected, demoted to the background and constrained by an environment that encourages an uncritical reverence. The kernels of pessimism are thus slowly sown in them.

In recent past, we have seen that the emergence of youth into politics have brought in a new spirit of enthusiasm and confidence among people. The skepticism that leaders are born is no more valid these days. As we know that 'leaders need not do different things, it would be sufficient if they can do things differently'. And this is what we need now. We need young fresh minds to come into politics who strive to make the country better.

Till now, we have only seen most of the young leaders especially of high profile have taken up the inheritance of their predecessors and joined the politics. But then there is one thing in common of the young leaders today, they influence the youth of the country. Their personality influences people who often look up to them as role models. It is not so long that Rahul Gandhi stepped in to politics, but we have seen a fresh wave of thoughts which have come along with him. Same is the case with Jyotiraditya Scindia and Omar Abdulah. They have been crucial for the parties they work for. And consequently, we see more and more youth joining into politics which is a good sign.

The people of the nation also seek some new leadership which they can trust upon. The time has come for the youth to step forward and take up the responsibility from the octogenarian politicians. Now that we know, that the impact of young leaders on the growth of a Country is crucial it is not to be ignored that there has to be right balance between the experienced and youth. Hence increasing number of young politicians is certainly a new dawn.

I think Youth is potential of any country because they have a capablity to change the society consequently in India youth population is more than any other country. If we ultimate utilise this potential in right direction with joining politics then we 'll certainly overcome challenges like poverty, infrastructure, health, sanitation, better education, hunger etcetera. And then our country will transform from developing to develop so that which responsibility on the youth they have to join the politics and prove India can be world order.
