YOUTH POLITICS

There was a time when college politics probably taught would be leaders how to lead a nation but now things are vastly different. Students, in my opinion are better off with their studies and keep their political affiliations to themselves until they pass out without disrupting or disturbing the college routine.

Very True. There've been more than enough incidents of such as JNU, Ramjas which evidently suggest that the colleges are better off without politics being mixed with the curriculum.

Politis in educational institutes are unwanted and not desirable.

Student Unions like ABVP bully the students and convert every college into a political arena.

There should be limits to how such organisations work.

In fact APVP from my own experience is a well organised union which takes up issues and some people may use its name when things go wrong and as you rightly pointed in another discussion the media highlights what they want to  ..In our own University there are extremely dangerous student unions that believe in verbal abuse and violence only ...I won't take names but not for ABVP , student lives would be very difficult at times because our politicians, given what they are only bothered about vote bank and appeasement..

Well there have been some incidents which have tarnished ABVP's image. I'm sure there are some dedicated students willing to change people's opinion about them.

Akil Bharatiya Vidya Parisat is the student wing of BJP. Despite some dedicated students are present,the reasons for distorted image of BJP is vested interests.

Rambabu please don't mix up things and post here..For your information this is what ABVP is ..

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad(ABVP) (translation: All Indian Student Council) is a Hindu nationalist all India student organisation affiliated to the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It is one of the largest student organisations with more than 3 million members.

Thank you Usha. I agree I committed a mistake

There are always two sides to an issue / incident and media reports should be taken with a fistful of salt.

Youth are too energetic to bother about their image. Muscle power is their weapon. ABVP is no exception.

ABVP is affiliated to RSS, which is a disciplined organization. If necessary RSS uses muscle power to deal with Communal parties like Congress.

Al the more reason to keep all student bodies out of university campus because there is absolutely no gain ...I have seen the kind of ruckus they create and waste tax payers money by destroying furniture , even resort to physical violence which is known to all..Like anywhere else, discipline has become an expensive commodity !

It is good if Student bodies are kept of university campuses.

Very recently in Andhra University the students broke the furniture and other university property. This is uncalled for in an educational center. The dean of the University had to run for his life.

yes. everyone capable of thought and action on matters of public interest should enter politics. Earlier the better. so youth are most welcome. They should enter politics at college level itself as activists of student bodies.

Tell me, is it easy to enter in politics in these days. At present time politics is not service to nation and public, it is profession and person who can invest in it, only be success in it.
