Place the Nation in the Hands of Young Political Leaders of India

When you find out the word ‘Politics’, what usually comes to your  mind are the image of politicians, government  and their policies, and to a greater extent in a wrong aspect, white lies, cheating tricks, lure of power and dirty tricks.

The main definition has been varied and almost vanished by such by such portrayal and platitude that try not to point a finger on  the true essence or quality that defines the thing called politics.

An Indian politician till now was a clad in white, false promises, vague speeches and uneducated old man thanks to awareness and education this picture of politics has changed today.

 As they are called the young ‘Turks’, have held  the entire nation with their views about everything and anything.

Young political leaders of India like Sipiparai Ravichandra, Priya Dutt, Rahul Gandhi, Madhu Goud, Sachin Pilot, Omar Abdullah, Milind Deora and Jyotiraditya Scindia boast the Indian political scene. They are developed, they are new and they are political leaders. All these young ones have a serious aim to dish up their country and change it for the betterment. It’s true that the upper limit number of the young politicians is heir of a political family, but even so, they are welcomed and now we have a bunch of young faces, up on that federal stage. They are a gripping group's earnest and energetic, who want to toss away the status quoits’ hold that wraps the administrative and political organization of the state.

Rising young politicians have adopted a change in Indian government. As they have essential foresight a lot is expected from this young breed of destination-oriented and enthusiastic people. These young political leaders of India need to overpass the gap between the upper echelons and the general populace of the political leadership. They chose to move into a new aspects to solve the queries expeditiously. They have to control in tandem with address pressing topics and experienced political leadership. They require to be outstanding and progressive. In todays time every citizen knows the fact that there is a necessity of smart ideas and fresh leadership that are important to look into the critical challenges that the nation is facing. The most difficult thing to do while trying to transmit this change is the entire force  of our system that has been made over the period of time of administration and this impulse resists change.

Their vitality and imagination has been imperiled by uncertainty, which is conceitedly propelled by the organization, and this has stopped them in their courses. It is for people to infer that only the combination of energy, experience and enthusiasm will lead India to better and newer heights. As if for now, the state is gearing up for a fresh political sunrise infused with a deepened sense of political awareness; the future of new  India lies with young politicians; and India’s growth depends on this new political category.

Interesting Read: A Small Commentary About Young Politicians In India

India is one of those countries that have revered politicians have almost gained cult status rather than an image of being a public servant. Right from the beginning, most of the politicians have been old men in their fifties and sixties or above. The young ones have been in their late forties. That is why one of the stereotypes of politicians in India has been old men (and also women), wearing the traditional garb or the Swadeshi inspired dhoti and Kurta or the traditional saree. However, this doesn’t seem to stay forever.

With the changing times, the demographics of the politics are also changing. For the last few decades, especially since the 2000s, India has witnessed the rise of young politicians in its political sphere. These politicians, unlike their older counterparts are not the usual old hags in nearing their end, but more of people in younger age groups who are keen to do something. However, the irony here is that these young Indian politicians are not really ‘young’ but middle aged men and women who have entered politics only after observing their senior family members play the games. This brings us to yet another fact about these so called young politicians.

Most of these, in fact, all of them are not new or independent entrants into the vast and the brutal jungle called Indian Politics, but are rather successors to their parents who have been hunting (or getting hunted) here for decades. One can say that they have gained that political mileage and position not by their own hard work or independent efforts, but by the blessings of heirloom. There is a ton of such examples in the Indian political scenario to witness. In fact, even those who are not into politics as a subject of interest, will be able to tell you the names of these so called young politicians.

Additionally, there is a great misconception about this relatively young demographic of politicos in India. Many people assume that since they are young, their mentality and thought process would differ greatly from the mainstream old politicians and hence they will be the ones who will talk the language of progress, rather than engaging in cheap caste and communal based vote bank gimmicks and populist nonsense. This is so far from the truth, given that they are just carrying the banner of their predecessors further. So in a way, they are just the younger versions of their parents and not any reformist revolutionaries.

Here is a quick mention of few young politicians in India.

Agatha Sangma: She is the daughter of a prominent politician and Lok Sabha speaker P.A Sangma is U.K educated and has shown interest towards rural development.

Akhilesh Yadav: Yet another product of dynastic politics, Akhilesh Yadav is the son of the Mulayam Singh Yadav and is equally inept in ruling the massive state of U.P
