India has been the country of Leaders. It has produced great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru etc. The far-sightedness and pragmatic characteristics of the leaders can be assumed from the fact that they framed the Constitution of India by inducting the best possible clauses of the world. They led the country from the front, without being showing any inclination to either of the power blocs. In the past, India has had a lot of young leaders like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Rajiv Gandhi etc.
But, as we approach the end of the new millennium’s first decade, India looks more alive, more confident, and more prosperous than ever before. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said,” If India is to become developed by 2020, it will do so only by riding on the shoulders of the young”.
A youth leader means a young person who is able to take control of a situation and advice and encourage others to make a difference by any means possible, who doesn’t hesitate to take on seemingly impossible goals and then inspire everyone else around them to help achieve those goals.
Young, potential leaders tend to be open-minded, can absorb ideas, and are more ready to take risks. They bring aggression, speed, and innovation. Needless to say, India needs young leaders in every sphere. It needs great politicians to judiciously exercise power on behalf of its entire people; it needs great businessmen to create wealth for everyone; it needs great scientists, doctors, artists, writers, entertainers, and simply do-gooders.
But, at the time when the centre of gravity of world economy is shifting to Asia, and India, along with China, is one of the pillars on which this new world order will rest, India faces a crisis of leadership, politically. At present, India only has a few young politicians like Sachin Pilot, Agatha Sangma, Jyotiraditya Scindia etc.
Fortunately for the country, the scenario outside of politics looks less dire. Spurred by the dynamics of a free market, many a leader has emerged—in business, civil society, and arts and entertainment. In these fields we have a number of leaders including the likes of Arvind Kejriwal, Harish Hande, KM Birla, Prasoon Joshi, Kiran Desai etc.
Most importantly, these are young leaders. People who’ve made the right moves at the right time to make a difference to their own lives as well as those of others in the country. These are the people who, more than anyone else, will determine the course of India’s journey ahead.
The future of a country rests in the hands of its young population. India has a very high proportion of its population in the young age groups. With an enterprising youth, which is dynamic and optimistic, in a world scenario gripped with fear, we have excellent chances to move ahead, and have our rightful place in the contemporary world and making of history. In the future, as awareness and education in this country increases, India will have more youth leaders who will not only be the change agents of this country but the whole world.
