Political Attitudes of Indian Youth

India is a democracy, as we are all aware. India has the most youth in the world today. A youth group is a class made up of students between the ages of 14 and 40. The largest population in this age group is now found in India. This group of people is the strongest both physically and psychologically, those who exert every effort to advance their families as well as the nation. The youth is India’s strength.

The youth are crucial in shaping the nation. Any nation’s youth can help it become beautiful in the future. The youth of today are receiving enough job prospects, but tragically, despite their extensive education, they are daily neglecting their obligations to the nation and their families.

The majority of the literature demonstrates trends of youth being lured into politics along caste, ethnic, and/or religious lines. As a result of politics, caste, ethnicity, and religion have not only become more significant as indicators of identity among young people but they have also been reconfigured. Young people negotiate and revaluate the implications of their caste, religious, and ethnic identities during the process of political mobilization.

Early political exposure boosts political interest

Studies demonstrate that respondents’ political interest rises when they are informed about and exposed to politics. In comparison to young people who reported not having taken part in any democratic processes at the school or college level, the trend indicates that young people who have participated in democratic processes, such as elections in school or college, are more knowledgeable about India’s political processes and are probably more interested in politics.

  • A similar pattern was observed when young people reported knowing someone who had been involved in politics.
  • In comparison to 39% of respondents who did not engage in school or college elections but claimed political interest, 50% of respondents who took part in political campaigns or elections in those settings expressed a positive interest in politics.

Our country needs them to tackle the majority of our problems. Youth in India have the ability to overcome the many problems the country is currently facing. All they require is a chance to prove themselves. Youth have the ability to bring people from different ethnic groups together.

We should remember that we are all one and not let our minor differences keep us apart. Additionally, there is a lot of criminality going on. Husbands that are violent against their wives are killing them. Businesses and homes are being broken into. There must be an end to all of this crime and violence. Again, youth has the power to influence change in the nation.
