Students and Politics ! The question whether kids should actively participate has been debatable for a long time now. It has been controversial subject. Education v/s leadership ?
Both who believe they should and those who say they should not argue strongly on the merits of their cases. The discussion goes on between the students, teachers and politicians, but no satisfactory or convincing solution to the problem has come up.
Those who oppose their participation in politics put up a strong case. They argue that being a dirty game creates groups and parties among the students which leads to permanent enemities among them. It naturally distrubs the peace of mind of students and thus their studies suffer which is their prime area of attention at that stage.
SCHOOL POLITICS
The students in centres cannot afford to waste their time in party bickerings while they are required to pursue the prime duty of their studies. By involving them in tussle with each other we are not doing them any good. They participate in strikes, demonstrations and processions. At times there is a clash with the college authorities or the police, and the situation takes an ugly turn.
STUDENTS TO COURTS?
Many students are put behind bars. They have to follow cases in the court. Thus lot of precious time is lost not only to those who are actively associated but many innocent students who really want to study. Thus participation in politics spoils the career of a student and make him useless for his future life. Now, those who support the proposition, also make out a strong case.
EDUCATION AND PARTICIPATION
They say that education means alround development. It does not mean only literacy. Participation in politics leads to a harmonious development of personality. It makes the Child aware of what is happening in the country and the world around him. It develops in him the qualities of leadership, instead of being a timid and shy book- worm. He grows into an agressive, dominating and alert youngman who knows how to fight the battle of life. How a student can be deprived of a very essential training of politics during his forming years of character and personality?
HOW TO BE GOOD LEADER ?
Participation in trains him to be a good citizen in the democratic way of life. He comes to know early in his life how to be a responsible and cultured citizen of a country like India. Such people will be an asset to the society tomorrow. He gains a fair knowledge of debating and putting forward his point of view with force and conviction. He is also trained for the leadership. As a leader in making he develops courage, sincerity of purpose, spirit of service, self discipline and devotion to duty.
CONCLUSION
The great leaders have been great students leaders in their child’s life. Now it is difficult to decide whose view is carrying more weight. So the wayout seems to take the middle path. A child should take part in politics but not very actively. All his activities should go within some limits so that the prime concern is not affected, that is, studies.
