Youngistan

Hi everybody..... India is young nation as per the statistics, where a huge number of the working force is young and healthy, but the irony is that such a nation is ruled by a maximum number of older guys. All out leaders, ministers are much older than the average age of the Indian population, so in such a situation a generational gap is very much evident and widening day by day. We are in such a position now that we need some young leaders who can become the power and force of the youths, who have similar line of thinking and can understand the needs and thoughts of the generation. Bureaucratic red tape is the biggest hurdle for the youths nowadays, for e.g, if a young entrepreneur wants to open a business and in need of a loan, he gets frustrated in the formalities and paper works required by the bank, though with the advent of private sector banks and financing firms things are a bit easier in the urban areas but what about the rural sector? India is a nation of villages and that is where the real India lives, so focus must be given to that side also and not only to the metro's and big cities. I live in a small town in the North Eastern part of the country and i face such problems everyday,the government must come down to the ground level, only launching schemes and programmes with 20% implementation is not taking the country anywhere. Big campaigns and programmes are good and needed, but minus the corruption involved, just think if even 80% of all schemes would have been implemented, where the country would have been now. Did anybody ever think or ask, what the state governments are doing with the millions of rupees that they receive every year. What is their accountability? Only sending observers, who gets bribed or killed is not done, any suggestions on how most the MLA's live the life of luxury with the government remuneration that they get or how their children gets to go to the most elite schools and wear internationally branded clothes. How how how ????
