Indian youth and Political challenges

Dr. Shivali Agarwal

Abstract :

 There was a time when politics was associated with only the middle-aged and senior citizens. It is the real truth that the presence of youth in politics was not welcomed with the exception of a few. In the past few years, there has been a huge rise in the involvement of students in politics, as we have the largest youth population in the world. Youth are coming ahead to raise their voices against the social injustice, women atrocities, reservations, freedom of speech and are giving new definition of patriotism. On the other hand, we have also witnessed incidents of rioting where students take the law into their own hands and disrupt daily affairs over a clash of political ideologies.

          In India, it appears that youth is by and large misdirected, short-sighted and immediate goal oriented. He has regional and parochial outlook. Caste, religion and other sub-cultural considerations have negative connotation on youth politics in the campuses.
