Indian youth simply hate politics. In fact, in my opinion, the easiest way to cut short your Facebook friend list is to start posting in favor or in against a certain political party. Probably this is the reason that we could see such a huge disparity in the average age of Indian citizen and the average age of Indian politician. As per the 2011 Indian Census, the average Indian is 25 years old whereas his average legislative representative is a good 40 years older, at 65.
India needs so-called 'YUVA' as politician. Since youths form a major segment of Indian population they are the one which could better understand the problems of their countrymen and this would help to eradicate one of the most common problem underlying unopposed i.e. Dynasty or familyism. Which would eventually also eradicate other root problems such as corruption.
Thus we need younger politicians more than ever and so we the countrymen would have to figure out some ways to attract more young people in politics. Politics has never been seen as employment opportunity by youth. If somehow we are able to mould there mindset and they are able to visualise politics as dream instead of a nightmare it would be WIN-WIN situation for both youth and countries politics.
This is the one thing which almost every person in current politics would try to sabotage so as to sustain their hegemony. And so until countrymen don't realise this problem and stand united it is going to be impossible to abolish this nightmare of youth.
