Democracy is the buzz word
for our political system. But is it really so? Are we really
satisfied with the way our country is being governed? Why is it so that
people below 50 years are considered as political ‘kids’?
The country desperately needs
some young leaders who personify energy, enthusiasm, morality, and diligence.
No doubt we have progressed a lot in the last 62 years but the development pace
would have been completely different if we had some young torchbearers led this
process of development.
At the time of independence,
Gandhi called upon the youth to participate actively in the freedom movement.
Young leaders likes Nehru came to his reckoning and led the movement. But this
is not the case now. Nowadays we have only a handful of young leaders.
