As America gets a young president, I too wish the youth here in India had a more prominent and powerful presence in the political arena of this nation. By Indian standards, Obama is a kindergarten child as far as his political experience and age goes.
So far, the only youth to get a shot at the Prime Minister ship in India is Rajeev Gandhi. Ironically, politics was the last place that he wanted to be. But fate, and the fact that he was the only suitable heir from Nehru dynasty at that time, catapulted him to the Prime Minister ship of the world’s largest democracy. It is really sad that even in 2008, the only youth who could even hope to run for the post is the present heir of the dynasty, Rahul Gandhi.
Is it that the country of over 100 crore does not have able and deserving youth to lead the nation, other than the handpicked ones from the Nehru dynasty?
