India is a nation facing incredible challenges . we have
seen there is not ample security and safety for the every section of our
society especially girls and women anywhere in the country. Monstrous elements
heap violence on girl children and women. We are facing acute inequality on the
one hand,we see such huge wealth and on the other, more than one-third of the
peoplelive without a second meal everyday. Society is clearly bifurcated
between haves and not haves. We have examples of the very affluent as well as
the extremely poor.On the education front, millions of our children are out of
reach of our education systems even at the primary level. This is directly
related to the child labour problem. Today, we are facing many global problems,
in which ecological issues are of utmost important. But at our domestic front
we are still struggling for proper civic infrastructure including public
transport system. We could not reach 4%agricultural growth which was fixed by
our FYP. Agriculture is still associated with at least 65% people’s livelihood.
At political front,there is huge communication gap between rulers and the
ruled. Last year CAG tracked many scams like 2G,Coalgate etc. CAG,s
calculations may be faulty but everyone accepts the happening of scams. Parliamentary
proceedings is being polluted day by day. Conflict between two sacred pillars
of democracy i.e. Supreme Court and parliament is being deepened people,s
frustrations have been reflected in the movements of civil societies.
Union-state relations are being tensiled day by day. Policing system owes
colonial legacy. A functioning police system does not mean just a constabulary
that keeps public spaces secure. Today , India,s policing and judicial
apparatus primarily dispenses uncertainty and proliferates probabilities for
injustice. Citizens with means and powers buy their way out of criminal
charges, whether of rape,murder or corruption. Citizens without means and power
are often framed or wrongly convicted, leaving society no safer as the guilty remain
free.
Reliable methods of investigation, evidence and impartiality
to adjudicate human rights and social imperatives.
As we know some pressure groups like civil society may force
the political class to take some executive and legislative measures to save its
own face, leading to some cosmetic changes. But legislation alone does not
bring about changes in social and cultural outlooks and beliefs. This demands a
radical change in our feudal, patriarchal and male-dominated society. Our
political class does not have leaders with credentials to achieve these
factors.
So, we must focus the” aam admi,s role” in all of this. In
‘aam admi” the role of youth section is of utmost relevant. First of all we
must recollect M K Gandhi,s favourite quote:”Be the change you whish to see in
the world.If we want to transform society, we have to begin with ourselves.
As youth is the building block of society. The significance
of youth values in nation building cannot be ignored. So, as we are going to
celebrate 150th birth anniversary of youth icon Swami Vivekanand.
His birthday(Jan12) is celebrated as National Youth Day.
Demographically today’s India is at its youngest best and
has the courage to meet any challenges.With the collective consciousness.Swami
Vivekanand always argued for the need for nationwide renovation with the ideals
of ‘’tyaga” or sacrifice and “seva”, selfless service. It is the most
imperative aspects of shaping of faith of Young India.
The most important qualification that swamy is looked for in
youngsters was to cultivate and murture the ability to ‘feel’. His philosophy
for the Youths contain influential Ps: Purity, Patience and Perseverance. These
Ps are the great traits that the youth of today are needy in .Through these, we
would be part of positive change that will have impact on entire society.
