10 Things Young India want from its Government

It is said that the strength of a nation is determined by the strength of its youth. India which is set to become the youngest nation by 2020 has approximately 450 million youth population. If they get what they need, then there is nothing that can stop us. Swami Vivekananda always emphasized about the capabilities and the power of youth and what they can achieve if they get the right tools and support. On this 70th Independence Day, here are 10 things that this young India wants from its government -
  1. Change in education system: Children are overburdened with syllabus and even a 99% score can’t guarantee you a seat in good college. The emphasis of education should be more on providing practical knowledge than theoretical only.
  2.  Encouragement to sports: Despite brilliant performance of India in various sports, parents and society discourage children to opt for sports. Sports should be given the same importance as academic education.
  3. Job opportunities: The one of the biggest problems that youth face is finding employment these days. The number of jobs are much lesser than the students graduating every year. Hence they either are unemployed or suffer disguised unemployment.
  4. More start-up platforms: Young minds often come up with some innovative and creative ideas for both technology and business. They need more platform to showcase their talent.
  5. Basic Amenities : They need better infrastructure, cleaner roads, safer drinking water and an open defecation free country.
  6. Freedom from Caste Reservation: The youth wants that reservations should be done on financial basis rather than on caste as it will benefit more people.
  7. Drug free India: With lot of youth under depression due to unemployment, drugs provide a sort of relief to them. Government should tighten the grip over the easy drug distribution.
  8. No discrimination: They demand transparency in law and asks people to rise above hate, caste, creed, race and religion.
  9. Right to Know the Truth: Young India wants to know the real truth not fake news about the performance of government.
  10. Safety : The roads of the country should be made more safer for everyone.Local law enforcement should be increased.
To be more precise, the young Indians wants a government that builds better infrastructure, educates its people , provides safety, security and more platforms to fulfill their dreams. As Swami Vivekananda quoted "What we want are some young men who will renounce everything and sacrifice their lives for their country's sake. We should first form their lives and then some real work can be expected".Is there anything that I missed? Feel free to share.
Jai Hind

Truth Behind Some Common Superstitions In India

MYTH AND MYTHOLOGY Have you ever been pointed out by your parents or elders over cutting nails inside the house at night? If yes have you ever wondered why they tell so? What is the reason behind it and should we really need to stop cutting nails at night? Let’s find out as I explain the truth behind some myths and superstitions prevailing in India. Cutting Nails at Night As I already discussed about it earlier, so why is this still said not to cut nails at night. This myth belongs to that times when we used lamps or candles to lighten up our house at night and at that time we didn’t have nail cutters to cut our nails. Sharp objects like blades/knives or stones were used to cut. Such sharp objects can cause serious injuries if used in low visibility such at night, therefore it was advised not to cut at night. And what about doing it inside the house? The cut nails can prick into someone’s foot and can cause pain. Offering prayers to some plants In India we conside...

Saving the Unreserved - Reservation System

The joint entrance examination committee recently announced the jee main scores and ranks along with the announcement of JEE advance Cutoff marks. With a lot anticipation among children to get admissions in the top institutes, this year’s cut off was pretty low as compared to last year’s. While the general’s cut off dropped to 81 from 100 last year’s while it dropped to 49 from 70 ,and 32 from 52, and 27 from 48 for Scheduled Caste , Scheduled Tribe respectively. This year’s cut off brought happiness to students and their parents due to low cutoff. But this maybe an indicating warning about the upcoming problem. Many general category students may have been in good or better colleges if there were no reservations. As these students are exposed to this reservation system so  some of them extensively rely on this in upcoming opportunities in life due to lack of skills. Like seats in the colleges are reserved, 50% of the government jobs are reserved as well. So...
