Political-apolitical

Few days ago while going through orkut profiles of my friends, I discovered something.
Well we all knew that average Indian youth isn’t enthused by any hint of polity.
But such apathy was uncalled for. If young citizens are showing so much aversion to the very structure which helps in regulating and leading India ,democracy is going to find it self in troubled waters. A youth must have his/her opinion about such issues.
Is it vogue these days to flaunt your being apolitical? I‘ve no clues ‘bout that.
Indifference is what hurts the most. A reaction must come out from within. You can bash it, you can adore (if u want) it, but you can’t ignore it(reminds me of an old ad of Star Dust)
Just think of it 10 years down the line when such youth are almost dispensed with the wonderful gift of youth that was bestowed upon them by god, they would find themselves seated in plush couches and whimpering about polity and disgusted do they feel the way Indian polity conducts itself.

Why to wait for so long and feel helpless. No no no way all of us are suppose to resort to canvassing or no we don’t even need to take a procession to prove our lot being politically aware. We have to be aware, need to form opinions about issues under the sun. I ‘ll give a very basic example. Parliamentary proceedings are hijacked by opposition parties(BJP),what do you feel about it? Such a sham, well that’s my humble opinion. You feel otherwise, you are most welcome. If Chinese youth can be aware and think strongly about political issues (remember Tiananmen Square), why not Indians?
