Elections..Not Interested?

Elections is a burning topic these days. Just a few days after , people of our nation will decide who they want to be in the power. News channels, news papers are covering all the details of candidates and political parties . Their promises and their agendas are being highly promoted everywhere.

But somewhere, between this hustle for elections ,we ,youngsters, don't care about elections and politics .We aren't bothered about elections as much we should be. They say, youth is the future of the nation and in a country like India ,where most of the population is young ,the interest for elections should be more . But nowadays,people especially, youngsters are ignorant about such things related to politics or Elections. We don't bother to vote,we don't bother to take part in political activities. In a survey ,it was found that India is second most ignorant country in the world. India is the largest democracy in the world and about 50% of India's population is below 25 years of age and about 65% of the population is below 35 years of age but when it comes to fighting elections or taking part in politics,only 6%of the leaders are below 35 years of age. This country has everything, young people, their enthusiasm, knowledge, resources but still why do people not show interest in taking part in politics . The basic reason behind this is it is uncertain . Politics is better when you are in power , even better than a highly paid job but anything can change after 5 years . Moreover there is nepotism. There are many cases which are evident that there are some old political families which run this country and for a newcomer ,it's really a tough job to fight against these strong and influential people. People are scared as well as conscious of their image in the society. And most importantly,it's the mindset of the people that politics is a dirty game , leaders are corrupt and harmful so it's better to stay away from them. Actually it's really difficult to serve the country and be rooted to your ethics inspite of all the negativity spreading around.

After seeing everything,when we hear the word politics,all we think about is, corruption,scams , killings. Maybe we all are doing is , sitting in our living rooms, watching news, criticizing politics and waiting for some miracle to happen without having to do nothing.
