We -The Students

"Politics are dirty!" This is the view of everyone. Especially the youth. But the fact is Politics is not what our country needs. It needs leadership. It needs Reformers. It needs true patriots. Here is the speech by an a student to his fellow students motivating them to lead India.

"Everyone of us have ambitions. Everyone of us have dreams. We work hard to achieve them and later relax enjoying the fruits of our labor. This is the life of every common man in our country. We all live in bubbles. Its comfortable inside, all we worry about is our life. By any chance if this bubble bursts, then we come face to face with the reality. The real world is more depressing and our daily problems seem tiny. It is completely a different sphere. In our bubble world our mind focuses on two things "me" and "family". That is common man.
We, students, are one level away from becoming yet another common man. Our major worry as of now is to get a job in a famous MNC, get a fat salary and get a beautiful girl/handsome boy as life partner.
That is a perfect life. There is nothing wrong in yearning for this life. It is our right after all.

Everyday we read newspaper. The front page is occupied by a huge news item about some scam. "STING OPERATION EXPOSES SO-N-SO", "OPPOSITION ASKS SO-N-SO TO QUIT", "GOVERNMENT PROMISES PROBE", "FILTHIEST SCAM OF INDIA", "CORRUPT BABUS", BLAH BLAH BLAH and BLAH.

What the hell is going on!! It has become a national time pass for us to read/watch and gossip about these scams and it earns a booty for the media. Apart from that there is no major change. We go back to our 'bubbles' work normally and behave as though nothing has ever happened, Roz ki roti jo kamani hai hamko. The exposed politicians and babus are behind the bars while similar corrupt people succeed them in their respective posts.

We are ignorant about these corrupt netas and bureaucrats but we fail to understand that the end result affects us.
The existing generation of politicians and bureaucrats cannot do anything. They can't change the nation, they can't eradicate poverty(nobody can), they can't curb corruption(99% of them are corrupt!!!), they can do NOTHING. And even if there is a slight possibility that they can...they WILL NOT. It is a fact everyone has to accept.

If any change could be brought out. Only WE...youth, students..CAN. If every single person of the next batch of bureaucrats vows to stay honest to his country and act responsibly, if not a major change, a foundation for such a change will be laid. If youth enter politics and vow to to serve the nation with all their heart and work for the nation, if not a major change, the first brick for a super power can be laid. We've had enough politicians but we need reformers who can reform politricks to service for the nation from service to self. We need leaders who can change the system from the roots instead of those who held on to the branches of the corrupt system and make their own nest. We need people who think with their brain and those who stay honest to their heart.

We are the present of the nation, we lay the road and the generation next would follow. Our elders and seniors in the bureaucracy and politics can just TALK. They are too damn buried in the depths of corruption and age. They don't have the courage, energy or the intelligence to ACT. But we...WE CAN ACT. We have the energy, we have the brains and we've got the balls to DO WHAT WE WANT. And WE WANT CHANGE.

So my dear friends, let us join hands for this change, let us work for this change and let us show a path to our next generation. Individually we might just be little droplets of water. But let us come together. The ocean that we, droplets, form, shall wash out the "dirty politics" and the mess our ancestors have made since independence.
Jai Hind!!
