Are we insensitive to country politics?

It seems we have been conditioned to think that politics is nothing but a refuge of the scoundrels, and the farther we stay off it, the better for us. Now, politics won't change itself. Ultimately, its the people. And people need mobilisation. The youth has become passive today, accepting any raw deal thats thrust on us by the vote-hungry politicians. If a youth society emerges, which can take active interest in social issues, only then can we expect a positive change in our future. Otherwise, the next 50 yrs, wont be much different from the 50 yrs gone by. So, here is what others have to say abt this: (first few responses from our entire discussion

Sonal

"We the youth of India just crib about "wats going on". We blame the politicians , the police, the PM,the CM, The President, the system, everyone but when it comes to voting we shun off our right (which is also a duty)to vote saying,"i can't go out in that heat" or "its raining".I wonder how many of us have votes ( did u ever bother to find out?)
V go on talking about our rights but helllllllo, who's gonna talk about the duties?
It is our country and we need to WORK to make it better."


Nilesh
"The quota issue and Ramadoss incident in AIIMS have shown that there is new breed of activist imegeging among elite students."


"It is being argues for most of the time that educated people will help reducing corruption and blah blah blah..But just look around what's happening in society..
Telgi etc. are educated upto IPS level and still at the forefront of biggest scandal."


Himanshu
"Politics is damned in India not because of old people running it. It is because of unlimited flow of money in their pockets from criminals and corrupt people. Why are we so confident that an Indian youth won't succumb to that? "
