Student and policy

Student participation in politics is a

debatable issue. Strong arguments can ba

and against the issue r

may be said that early initiation of the youth when the,

are passing through a sensitive phase of their life ma

prove to be harmful. On the other hand, it may be argue:

that the current political atmosphere is so vitiated 2

the present lot of politicians are, generally speaking

corrupt that unless they are completely ousted and he

youth take charge of the situation, there appears to be

no hope for the country. Both the arguments carr

weight. However, anything attempted prematurely does

not bring very happy results. If the youth are not strore

enough to fight infections, they might catch the

infections themselves. Both sides having been carefuly

considered, perhaps it is better for the students to shun

politics, at least in the early stages of their student life.

The first great disadvantage the students suffer when

they participate in politics is the general neglect of their

studies. It is not difficult to come by intelligent yourg

students who have been victims of extreme indulgence

nce upon a time, there lived a child in Boston

USA. He was very sad and passed his time

dejectedly and anxiously. For, when the other

children of his age went to school, he used to be busy in

making soap in his father's soap factory. His job was to

assist his father in his work. Father wanted to handover

this business to his son in future but after noticing his son

being uninterested and reluctant in soap making, he told

his eldest son to take his younger brother Ben in his

business of press. He thought Ben could not run business

of soap effectively, he might become a good printer in

the press. Ben also wanted the same.

Ben started working in the press. In press, he found the

work interesting and easy as compared to soaps. He took

great enthusiasm and interest in it. While printing, he

used to go through the literary scripts of renowned

writers of his time and felt great change in his ideas while

reading them. He desired to be a writer. For this purpose,

he started reading various kinds of magazines,

in politics. They cut a sorry figure at examination and

then repent, but it is too late. Even those who become

professional politicians when they grow up fare poorny

They are ill-equipped for the job. They lack an all-round

general education and are also unaware of the bask

newspapers and books. He also brought change in his

food. He used to have the cheapest and light diet so that

he can save some money and buy some books for

studies. In the result of his vast and deep study, many

new ideas arose in his mind and his power of imagination

grew stronger and stronger. All that he imagined and

thought, he jotted down and printed. His creations and

scripts were so effective that people consider them

those of great writers and scholars. He labored very hard

in it and after the age of twenty and before death he was

considered to be one of the greatest philosophers and

concepts of politics. They fail to grasp great national and

international issues in the fields of economics, science

and technology. If we examine the educational

qualifications and the general mental caliber of du

politicians, we shall get a jolt. How can such politicias

lead us on progress? Perhaps one reason for

situation may be that they pursued politics immaturely

and at the cost of their studies when they were

eyoung. If

we want this unfortunate situation to be avoided, We

After a long time, it is felt that whatever is discussed

above and whatever the praise made by his companions

and followers, is not baseless. The child who climbed the

steps through diligence and persistence was none but a

famous philosopher, a great writer, and a renowned

scientist of America Benjamin Franklin.

must take concrete steps at all levels of our national life

to save young students from the ill effects of politics.

begin with, all political parties must agree not to touch

the student community for their own benefits. They may

have very just causes and they might like to enlist the
