Young India & The Elections

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician’s objective. Election and power are-Carl Thomas. It is election time in the country and everything these days seem to be revolving directly or indirectly around elections. Conversations over tea, around the breakfast table and amidst hunched groups in the city parks are all about politics, elections, political leaders, political parties & their election manifestoes. We all know how important each vote of a citizen is for the country. Vote you must not to support your favorite candidate or party but for the simple fact that your vote decides the country’s future & progress. According to the 2011 census data around two crore youngsters turn 18 every year which makes their increasing figure in the electoral roll hard to miss. Their importance is not just confined to their numbers but also to their thinking patterns & characteristics. When it comes to the elections, one can love them or hate them for having their own tech-savvy, head-strong & independent views on politics but you surely can’t ignore them for their numbers are swelling & so are their stakes in the formation of the government in the centre.
