Why young people should get involved in politics?

When I go through the 'political views' section of my FB friends, what I most often conclude is they have zero-knowledge of politics and not all interested in it. What this shows is, the fact that the majority, if not the whole, of our youth are politically-ignorant. That means they take no part in political decision making. This disinterest in politics  implies that the youth of this country don't care where this country is heading. Now this has to change. And so I write this.

      The times we live-in are vicious. Corruption, nepotism, treachery, greed and economic frauds have become the defining characters of our political system and governance, while on streets we are witnessing horrific crimes being perpetrated -- especially against women. Countries such as China, Japan, & Germany which have  experienced monstrous destruction during WWII(about time at which we got independence from the British) have long since surpassed us terms of economic growth and standard of living of their peoples while majority of Indians still languish in perpetual poverty.

So, isn't there something wrong with this country? This particular question should have risen in the minds of our people long ago. But sadly, it didn't. Nobody questioned the politicians. Our parents never asked their constituency MLA of for that matter the local ward member why the infrastructure of the area hasn't improved. This exactly is why our nation is in it's present state. There are too many dumb cattle in this country.

There is one particular trait crazy trait I observed among people. They tend to always vote to the same political party to which their fathers and grandfathers use to vote. They don't care if that party is submerged in corruption. They keep on voting to the same party. What can one describe this as? Insanity. The worst thing is that they pass on this trait to their children . Sometimes it makes me think that it is some kind of hereditary disease!

Now, as the youth of this country, we have to shake off our drowsiness and awaken. We have to come to terms with the reality. Unless and until we build up our political knowledge and take part in decision making, this country's future is doomed.

Unfortunately our youth didn't yet realize this grim reality. They still think pass out of college with good CGPAs, get a good job with fat paychecks, get married, fuck and have children -- that is life. That's it. They don't care if millions of their fellow countrymen are sunk neck-deep in a pathetic sea of poverty, living without proper home or food or clothing , doing odd jobs to meet ends and to quell hunger. Nothing of that sort matters to our youth. They are too self-centered to care about their country. If this continues in the same way as it is now, then we have no future as a nation.

The political class are the main reason for the suffering that our fellow Indians are going through. Their corruption and ill-governance led this country into quicksand. The lack of political will to tackle issues that are troubling the nation is despicable. They have stockpiled cash bundles while they let the poor ones die out of hunger. They should be eliminated if we are to uplift our poor.. give them a chance to enjoy the thrills of life. So to that end, we have to fight the political class.

   It is imperative for us to act now. Right now. There is no more time to postpone it. It's time to question our so-called "national leaders". It's time to eliminate the black sheep from our political arena. We have to question every aspect of governance. Free-willed rational men who have no interest in stockpiling illicit money in foreign banks should be installed at the helm of the Ship of the State.

  Yes! Only criminal self-centered bastards remain silent in these times! Governments control our lives. So we ought control the governments to live the we way we want. Arise out of you slumber my good fellow humans. Let the revolution roll!
