Youth spirit - Power to change

It is strange that the sections of the youth, especially the educated ones are not interested in politics.There is no doubt that youth involvement in the politics of the country not only gives them a chance to explore their leadership abilities but also in shaping the future of the country. Favoritism and hypocrisy hinder educated youths to fully participating in politics and they think ‘it is a dirty game’. Perhaps what they fail to understand is that this 'game' is a lucrative business that has made even the most accomplished scholars to abandon their careers and join the bandwagon.

Political parties’ especially communist leaders across the globe made young people central to their plans to create parties, states, and societies.Youth support was crucial to both the preparation of revolution and the establishment of lasting communist regimes and societies. Once in power, communist leaders made the transformation of the younger generation central to the attempt to create new communist societies. Because young people lacked prior political experience and were considered more malleable than adults, communist leaders believed they could be transformed into ardent supporters of communism and builders of new socialist societies. In fact, if young people were often builders of socialism, they were also among those willing to dissent from communist ideology. A good example is the use of various artists’ participation in political campaigns around the country. But there are major problems facing their industry, which has never been addressed ever since. Artists always come into loggerheads with promoters and managers on the issues of copyright and piracy of their works. It is not fair for them to use young people and artists as stepping stones to reach their goals.

For many years, youth have been said to be “tomorrow's nation” and this to a large extent has been viewed by youth as a way of sidelining them from active politics. Personally, the term motivates me to use my energy effectively in bettering our nation. My energy could be used to build my nation by voting, running for political/official .Youths could use their vision, talents, energy, and knowledge to shape the country into a nation that welcomes everyone. We could use these skills by participating in the political process, vying for offices of our interest despite of attempts of self-centered and possibly uneducated politicians that portray our youthfulness, innocence, and lack of experience as weakness in the political arena."

"We - youths, are capable of bringing changes that will improve lives of all Nepalese. The power to clean our country and make it a better nation on earth is within us. Speaking of politics being lucrative, that is an undeniable fact and examples could be drawn from within and even neighboring countries. Critics say there is so much money involved in politics that's why hypocrisy and witchcraft are common features. It is the reason why some people fight tooth and nail to make sure they cling to their positions. Now and then top leaders would have to encourage young people to participate in upcoming election. Getting new faces in elected position creates a door for new air to come in the government and make it easier for more development.
