Young Leadership for Young India

We all know India is the fastest growing economic power in the world; we are a nation of 1.20 billion population. But the real strength is our country lies in the Young Population which accounts to about 65% below the age of 35 years. We are leading in so many fields all across the globe like software, Medicine, Engineering, Areospace, etc. But, our real strength lies in our international presence in the places of influence where Indians are making their presence felt. 30% of the NASA Scientists are Indians so is the case with Microsoft. More than 30% of the Doctors in the USA are of Indian origin.

It is well predicted by several agencies based on extensive surveys that India is going to be the next super power in the years to come. Besides the economic recession world over we are much better placed as a nation to combat the economic slowdown. All this is possible due to our visionary leaders who brought about the revolution through computerization in 1991 and then the economic reforms so as to emerge as the world’s fastest growing economy.

At this point of time can we jeopardise the progress and growth of our country? Certainly not, so how can we imagine a person at the age of 81 years to be our next Prime Minister? Should we all not ask one simple question to our self conscious as to who should be our next Prime Minister? The one who understands the pulse of 65% (below 35 years) of the population or the one who has freezed his thoughts based on the issue of communal interests and provocative religious, raciest ideologies? This is a very serious issue we the youngsters and the future of this country has every right to think and think thoughtfully in order to reach an amicable conscious on who should we project as our next Prime Minister. Should this person be young or he should be just any other leader that the parties impose on us?

I am not suggestive of any names instead I would appreciate that these name should come from the readers and that should evolve from an extensive thought process from within. We are not deciding the fate of a political party in fact we are deciding the future of this country called India so, have to think larger than life perspective and keep our finger on the best available option for the country at this point of time. Our mandate can certainly make a difference and rewrite our future prospects as a Nation.  So, please post your opinion and make this moment turn into action. Jai Ho, Jai Hind!

trustful party for the masses

Congress has basic potential to emerge as trustful party for the masses. But unfortunately it has overlooked the value erosion that occurred in course of time. Youth leaders should analyze it correctly in discussion with experience leaders and then plan their future course of action.  

 

" Taking guidelines from past, nurturing the present and foreseeing the future, will certainly bring results faster and better".

 

Old methods have to be updated wittily so that the outlook of the party can be felt by intelligentsia as organization in-tune-with-time and as interest protector by the common masses.

 

If the party keeps total emphasis for parliamentary seats and to rule the people, it gives one sided impression on people's mind. But if it is serious and sincere in serving people it indicates a balanced policy; like the two side of the same coin.

Age Limit for Politicians

I live in Australia Sydney and pray to GOD that Congress should win with a majority so they can function properly for 5 years. India is in driving seat at present and if we bring someone else in the power then there is no hope for the country. We need more progress and make the county stronger and developed. We so many Indians have to leave their country and miss their family and friends and one simple reason is better lifestyle and may be more money. These days you get good jobs in India which pays well but you can't get the lifestyle in a nation where 50% of the politicians are corrupt. Imagine if these corrupt politicians run the country again, we have seen this in past 50 years. PLEASE if you vote and love your country to progress then I think there is no party then Congress at present to rule the nation in a professional manner. One request to all the congress politicians and I hope you will listen to this We Indians need some age limit for politicians to retire, they can still help their party and hold positions in the party but the position to run the country. No corporate in the world will give you a job after you are over 65 years of age. There are enough qualified people in the country to run the country. We need fresh minds not 99 year old people to run the nation. I am not even a voter but still loves my country to be strong and progressive.

next primeminister
I think Dr. Manmohan Singh should be the next prime minister, because he knows how to handle the situation insuch a economic recession. The development of  the country and Individual depends on the economic condition of the country. For a new person it will take time to understand the system and country will be in trouble. We have good leaders with Dr. Manmohan Singh who can take our country to the top. The leaders from any party should have developmental issue instead of communal issue in their election compain, but unfortunately in our conutery the illiterate leaders dont understand this. So young generation should take interest in the politics and try to reach at the top of the system, then only we can change the future of our country.

Young leader with credentials
Today most so called young leaders are not self made rather the next generation of old leaders. A leader has to climb ladder from bottom to top inculcating knwledge of politics and feelings for nation. AGE DOES NOT MAKE DIFFERENCE. COMMITMENT AND NATIONALISTIC FELLINGS MATTER. CHEERS!!

Young India

I completely agree with Kshitij. We are a young nation with a largely young populace. The country definitely deserves young leaders. Youth by itself is not good enough to make a strong leader. Youth has to be backed up with clear ideas, a self-less approach and above all honesty in words as well as action. Same cannot be said of the other side of the spectrum. Like any other job a prime minister's job should also have a retirement age. The experienced and learned leaders can definitely help the young in realizing their dreams of India as a super power. I certainly see Rahul Gandhi as a future prime minister. He is articulate, seems to have the right ideas, and above all has had his baptism with political fire. It remains to be seen if the experienced leaders of the country have the wisdom to step aside when they know it is the right time. NATION AWAITS !

opinion on political system
I agree some one from us should come forward rather then blaming what our leaders have done in the past. We should see what best we can do for the country and take a step ahead. Enough of debates and shows, its high time to put our thoughts and ideas into a concete action. We would be better equipped to change when we ourselves are in system and even if we can make a small positive change in that that will be giant leap for our future generation.
