I certainly think that the youth in India, just tries to emulate the west.And in their attempt of imitating the west, they end up reaching actually nowhere.They are constantly getting attracted towards foreign culture , which is not wrong , but following something blindly and just because every other person of their age is doing the same, is totally lame.I am not putting every single youngster into this category that i am talking about, there's just a section of today's youth that seems to be distracted .I have seen youngsters doing a great job and bringing laurels to their family as well as the country. I expect from the readers that they do not misinterpret my views that i have expressed here,they certainly can vary from others and i know that they certainly will. The side that i am trying to portray here happens to be at a shade darker.
As it is said that even CHEATING requires the use of BRAIN,the youth of today should also try to understand that just listening to hardcore metal and attending rock concerts and imitating western fashion ; is not what development is all about.There is much more to it. Again I totally agree that all this happens to be a personal choice of the individual , but involving oneself in inhumane acts sometimes or defaming the NOT SO UPDATED section of the society and labeling them as rural backward fools can not be acceptable. Is MUSIC and CLOTHES is what development is all about??Youth is expected to contribute much more to the development of their country, which i am sorry to say ,they fail to do.We see numerous rock bands and rock stars springing up these days, but how many of them do we see actively and unconditionally contributing to their country's politics? I think it's high time that they resolve to step out of their COMFORT ZONE and try to BRING A CHANGE .
When it comes to blaming the system , then they( are seen ahead of all, protesting and marching through out the country but how many of them actually do SOMETHING. And the very few young faces that we see in politics today, be it at the state level or the university level, they all fall a prey to the dirty money game eventually , putting the country's future at stake. It has been always been said that youth is the future of a nation .But when the future itself seems to be sleeping . how can the nation expected to be awakened or how can one take it to the soaring heights of development.
p.s. The ideas expressed here are totally mine and I , in no way, intend to impose them on anyone . If you happen to think differently, I respect your opinion and expect the same from others .
Very well written for your first blog... :) Ehmm same question goes towards you & every1 reading this post? What have we done for the growth of our country?? Like you said its easy for people to start on with the blame games.... I know quite a few friends who did try to enter politics... But it aint easy unless u have contacts with those who are there already.. Its my personal opinion again... People(Youth) do try but our politics is in such bad state.. the probability of a good leader coming up is too less... And yeah i also say we arent in a bad position either.. If we see our economy n all.. we are a good developing country!! As far as imitating west is concerned.. You did mention it.. its individuals opinion on that!!
ReplyDeleteThanks moin:-) i knew very well that fingers would be raised towards me as well coz me too haven't done anything except an attempt to crib about it here..but atleast i am concerned.On the other hand,when i see youngsters around me..i find them in no way concerned about the family..the society..the culture or the country they belong to.They have become so self centered..all they can think is about themselves .I am not saying that being concerned about oneself is wrong.Even I am self centered to an extent, but one should atleast be humane enough tat one doesn't do anything that effects the people around him/her in a negative way.To cut it short, i see no sense of respect,moral values,ethics in today's generation...VAGUE they are becoming day by day.
ReplyDeleteAnd u said that our economy is at the brighter side as compared to other countries..agreed.But economy is not what i am talking about here. We have an extremely talented youth in our country.But TALENT without HUMILITY doesn't appeal to ME atleast .
