Should youth of the country be exposed to politics at college level

It is better tomorrow`s leaders know the basics at an early stage.

Yes, But kindly specify which youth you are talking about.

Youth which gives 100% attendence in valentine party, friends day party and 35% attendence in elections.

Youth which loves to sits on college stairs buts hates to attend lectures.

Youth which loves to spend hrs in parties and movies and hates to spend 5 min in prayers, and 30 min in yog.

Youth which loves culture in all events or youth which love to follow culture only in family function.

Youth which loves to work for cause or youth which loves to be critic.

Kindly specify.

yes they should. like we try to teach them some cultural activities like dance,drama along with their studies, we should also provide some exposure to politics.

They are the voters in future. A strong sense of history and political process coupled with sense of discrimination to be a responsible citizen either to take on a role of political leaders or select selfless politicians to govern the country, should be inculcated through teaching and debates.

A large section of Two generations of Indians after independence have to struggle to gain economic independence and the among the future generations, many need not worry about two square meals a day and hence can venture into political field and many at least can prevent money and muscle power in winning the elections.

Entirely a new kind of political leadership has to emerge as it is happening in other fields of our developmental process. Future political leaders have to be adept in managerial skills in promoting sociological and economic reforms in tune with the changing times, while creating ecosystem for every one to have a level playing field.

They should be exposed to reality in all forms at college level to help them face the reality when they get main streamed.

However i am very strongly against the introduction of party based groups inside college campus. They cause serious problems and sirupt academic activity. They also create certain value systems that are not compatible with academic growth because these value systems give priority to party over institution. That can never be. For a student, the academic impact is magnifierd by his loyalty to his alma matter.

Yes, yes, yes!!

Unless we get educated, concious youth from the current generation we will continue to be led by the self-serving, sometimes corrupt, sometimes unscrupulous, ineffective and uncaring oldies as we have for the last half century.

I support your views, Rawali.

It will be better for progress of our country.

I feel youth need to be exposed to politics at their college levels , as the need of youth in our political system is vital . The Spirits which a youth carry is more than enough for the betterment of our society , more over i feel the level of influences which youth drives in our political sector is not that great compared to some countries abroad . Youth participation will bring in unconditional dedication towards country's overall development  .  Development is thick & fast in all aspects of life in india , due to the youths  urge , still our political system needs a renaissance . 

Since India is a democratic country and as a responsible citizen of it one should take part in the electoral process. At college level students should also know how the system functions. It is only at the college level that the students can learn this in a healthy and a safe way. By having college elections students get to develop an important skill of decision making, and learn that their decisions not only affect them but also lives of others. This should be a monitored process (by college administration ) so that the whole activity organised for their benefit doesn't harm them in any way (physically , mentally or even monetarily )
