They (Indian youth) don't have it in them...

Hi. Recent Delhi rape case brought the youth upfront with the hope of changing the law. After Mandal Commission, I think this is the second time when such a high level of protest has taken place in India. Still, I think Indian youth or young generation don't have it in them to bring about changes in society or law for that matter. If these young people show some interest in Indian politics or take some time to choose there leaders or use their voting rights or follow all other laws, we can expect some improvement in society. If this rape case has awakened the sensitivity or sensibility of Indian youth, then they must take pledge not to break traffic laws, not to drink and drive, not to upload vulgar pictures or videos of their girfriend to take revenge, not to disrespect women of any age, not to be part of any anti-social activities. If Indian youth use their voting rights, they can select a govt which can bring positive changes in Indian society.

Hi ksmita.
Well I totally agree with you and in my opinion the very important factor in bringing this change would be education and a sense of responsibility. I believe it is high time that we bring certain eligibility criteria for someone to become a politician. I believe if someone is well educated then he/she will refrain from doing things that you have mentioned. However I see hope in today's youth. I believe the current generation is more educated and hence a little better than the previous one. And I am very hopeful that they will teach the future generation good values. I don't think we should give up when things go wrong. I believe in India.
Have a nice day...

I have seen the news and such incident is horrifying, somehow there is much needed change in your society. These teens should be aware of their actions, i do not know much about your government but somehow i am praying for positive change in your country.

Your proposal is a good. But I have humble submission. The youth should be asked himself/herself about his/her honesty and tendency of obeying the present law in daily life. Is he/she raising question to their parents (in case of any doubt)? I have seen that the students from college life are taking away money as and when got chances, e.g. from union activities to mess manager. If the answer is no, our system will not improved.

Hi Ksmita, unfortunately i disagree with you. i see you are from india only. and you are not too old to consider the younger generation any different from you. I am of the same age around as yours and i consider that positive thinking from all of us would sure work. though not in a short span. it has actually taken centuries for men in india to think the way they are today and we can not get rid of the mindset in one shot. it calls for a revolution which we see today. infact it had to happen. We are now a global country and the mindset is bound to change not only of the men but of the mothers to ensure correct guidance right from the beginning. to blame alchol and tobbaco is not the right way. we see the entire world consuming such things however the thing to change is the mindset from the root.
I am a mother and i am bringing a change through my small contribution towards giving right education and guidance to my child.
