Coz youngsters and teens think politics is a dirty game and all they are interested in is enjoying their lives instead of helping people through politics.But i think after watching Rang de basanti more youngsters will come forward.

You guys are right, there are hundreds of problems with BJP.\n\nBut C'mon.  Lets look at the options ahead of us.  The Indian national congress??? They are a bunch of village idiots.  They are sellouts who only care for the minorities.  As far as they are concerned, the 83% of the Indian population can disappear.\n\nEven in foreign policy, their work is shambolic.  They are scared, docile, unproactive.  They are only good at being controlled by events rather than controlling them.\n\nNow in contrast, BJP have shown themselves to be patriotic and to have balls.  You need a party like the BJP who are courageous enough to put India on the map.  I hope to god that they come back in power.  If the INC had been in power during the late 90s, do u guys really think that India would have become a nuclear power??? I don't think so.\n\nThe only thing I have to say, is that if Indians carry on voting for the Indian National Congress of idiots, my beloved country shall not realise its full potential.

Politicians, each one of them out to carve out a vote bank of himself, are responsible for reservations in India. There is nothing wrong in empowering under privileged and socially deprived. But the way to empower them is to creat right kind of atmosphere where everyone gets equal opportunity. That's a herculean task. Easier way is to pass a legislation. That also ensures vote bank. How have Laly, Mulayam Singh and Mayavati carved out their vote Banks?

Doom n gloom. Education is about making bright citizens. At a lower level when one begins school, reservation might help considering the backgrounds etc. When they grow to learn n fight, reservation will spoil the quality and bring in lethargy. Its a stupid decision. Students have no reservation about who is who - its the politicians who create all these. Sad and quite damaging decision. Did i not say Indian politicians are no different from African politicians and that is why sometimes even the defense minister is stripped n searched abroad. Would that happen to developed societies? Why is it happening to India - bcoz they deserve by their own deeds!

I do not have a source other than friends and teachers from India.  What inhibits India from becoming a powerhouse of economy and politics is the caste system.  They have the most horrible racisim of any country, and it is internal. \n\nSocially, you can NOT rise above your station.  This inhibits the real freedom they could enjoy.  I would do more studying of the caste system to get a better answer than mine.\n\nI do hope they overcome this thousands year old tradition and bigotry.

They aren't viewed as being matured enough.  Although there probably are a few that would be able to make better choices, it's just that the majority wouldn't seem to know, or care about the political topics.

Vote is a need of politicians not of citizens. Alone voting power is not enough to survive in future. Now it is time for minimum financial equality, same as citizens use minimum political power in form of vote. In the age of Sc. and Tech. where eighty percent or more GDP is made of machines, demand of employment is anti national activity. It is time to share national profits in form of cash. In india more then eighty of MPs are putting a petition before loksabha for the matter, through this petition total solution will be possible. \nfor further details u may contact key person of this movement Mr. Bharat Gandhi, New Delhi 09818433422

In the older days, we had the rajas / maharajas. They were the rulers, and were not accountable to anyone. They used to lavish the wealth of the state on their personal comforts and desires.\n\nOur Politicians are the modern day Rajas. They are very clannish, and make sure that only their own kith and kin progress in political career. Thus, like a prince taking over reins after a king, so happens in politics. \nWe, the people, are blind idiots. Even after seeing all this, we continue to vote for the same people. But then, we hardly have a choice, because all of them are the same, irrespective of the party.

What makes you think that any Gods or Goddesses are impurer than the God you worship? Or that your religion is what the Indian youth need?\n\nI think Indian young are some of the hardest working, and among the most intelligent on planet earth currently, plus they have the numbers favouring. Demographically, India has more young people than any other country (including China). Most of them are doing fine, India has been a lawful and stable democracy for almost 60 years.\n\nWe are so many, hence the number of crimes committed could be more (I doubt this) than  say the US, or any other European Christian nation, but the rate of crime is far lower than most other countries.\n\nSo what are you talking about?\n\nNumber for number, these very same worshippers of Gods and Goddesses are more law abiding and caring  I mean really caring for families, for aged parents than the most enlightened Western or even Indian Christians that I know of.\n\nAre you just trying to spoil India's reputation by this impassioned plea?

Coz. the minorities have a larger population and they form a major percentage in the vote bank during elections. So, all the minorities group is basically backed up by the sick politicians of the country. Whereas the majority have a happy go lucky kindda attitude, they r content with how things are progressing. U can relate it to the current reservation drama which is goin on these days.

India does if they the country is in good hands. A majority of India's already exploding population within the next 20 years will be the youth. That's why.

We cannot do anything, it is by nature, if a man by heart is good, then he will do all the good things that he thinks will be useful for his country and his country men. Second is self discepline (i.e. Japanese), thats why, even after got defeated in WW-2, they managed to rise in terms of economic and social values. These politicians were fully educated and knew exactly what they are doing. Let us accept the truth, that who ever enters politics has the intent to enrich himself and his family, either by doing legitimate or eligitimate businesses. Not only in India, but most of the third world country.

They are fully justified.There is a limit to votebank politics.Just to appease their OBC votebanks the Govt is trying to deprive the General Category students of their seats.There is a limit to reservation.It is not that there is no reservation,reservation already exists but now they want to get it upto 50% and that is real pathetic and if the students are protesting which is their right in a democracy I see nothing wrong with that.

India is democratic country and a good one at that.\n\nHowever the problem lies in the way people can be manipulated for their votes.\n\nIf a vast majority of population lives on less than a dollar a day, it is not very difficult to get their vote in return for some money, is it?\n\nThe solution lies in educating people and making them financially well-off, make them realize the power of their vote.\n\nIt is for the young and educated of the country to quit talking about it and start doing something about it.

By 2020 , indian poitics scenario will be different surely, It will be in the hands of young & sensible people. And i am very optimistic about it. U can also become a part of this , coz the first step to bring the change has already been taken..by 4 Ex-IITians . They started a new political party called "Lok Paritran" and left there luxurious jobs, just for INDIA. Atleast it shows that they are more concerned about india than the politicians we have in our country right now who only thinks about there bank balance & prosperity instead of the country.The Era of Mahatma gandhi and Lal bahadur shastri will definetly be back. \nSo i make an appeal to all the youngsters of our country to go thru just once the official site of " Lok Paritran". To know there idealogy.\nJust type in google search "lok paritran" and u will get the official site.\nOr u can directly go to "www.lokparitran.org"\nTo bring a change , first we have to change.

Did you know that a global survey was taken on the stress levels of youths recently and found that indian youths were the one of the least stressed amoung those around the world. Did you know what the two main reasons were?\n\ni) They come from well nit and big and mutually reliant families so at times of a crisis they knew there was someone more wise and reliable to count upon and sacrifice for their happiness.\n\nii) The investment they had to put into education is comparatively very low but the opportunities the globalization has offered them is immense...so they were less worried about a secure future.\n\nWell does not it sound like the first reason is deeply related to the result of cultural integrity we are having due to the result of marrying into the same culture?
