Youth, Politics and Change | Shantanu Gupta | TEDxNITSilchar

Want to become a policy maker in India? Well, the sad news is that in India the representation of youth in policy making is very less. This needs to change and if you want to drive that change this talk will help you understand the various paths you can take to reach the political summit in India.

Hands down one of the most inspiring and informative Ted Talks. I have always been interested in Indian Politics and this video laid down different ways people can enter politics which was very interesting to get acquainted with.

I just think everyone of us is too self-centered to think about the well being of a country.

[@Anushilansamiti80]

How true how true. Reminded me a line from Nayak . Hum sab politics ko naali bolte hein lekin koi uss naali mein utarke cleaning ke liye ready nahi hoon

[@anushkathakur7545]

Well spoken!👌

[@WTFWebTasticFictions]

really informative lecture!!

[@maopinion8396]

I Advice to the youth that in future do the politics of love like Gandhi not the politics of hatred like Narender Modi.

[@aryanyadav3690]

Modi never told to hate anyone 👍
He changed INDIA's image like no one 😎
Watch his relations with Saudi, UAE, Afg, etc.
Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah all are British pawns😏
BTW you watch Naya Pakistan (Civil War) 😂

U have missed trade union leaders with strong workers problems back ground enter politics

[@sanobartuba]

I think that's part of student politics or union politics or participating in movements. Usually, trade union leaders stay activists for a lifetime and not specifically enter parliament.

[@nitishsingh8679]

U missed RSS (for entering BJP) and bootlicking (in case of Congress) :P

[@sanafatima137]

hahaha true

[@skrocks2522]

it should be (cow pee drinking) to enter in the politics through R.S.S

[@ashishsaini1545]

Great sir

I believe Cambridge Analytica did something similar to flash mob dances during elections to keep African youngsters from voting as they were more prone to attend these flash mob dances than Indian youngsters and the swing vote lay with the young voters of which there were both African and Indian origin ones. Come election day the African youngsters were flash mob dancing at different locations and the Imdian youngsters due to their cultural and social structure were all in the voting booths.
The point I am trying to make is that youngsters are being influenced by a much more algorithm in social media to feel that they must be apolitical and not turn up to vote like the small Caribbean island example.

[@varghesejob]

Sir do also speak about the other feeder called RSS. Look at the current cabinet and government, a good number of them only qualify the criteria of being a hard core Sanghi.

This is interesting he talk about all the route to enter to enter politics but forget ( or deliberately skip) to mention the RSS route to enter into electoral politics. He must also discuss that infamous communal (RSS style) politics
