Indian Youth
The Greek philosopher Aristotle ( 384 B.C.-322 B.C. ) in his book 'Rhetoric' wrote : " Youth are easily deceived, because they are quick to hope " ( see Rhetoric: Book 2.12.1-15 ). This, he said, is because youth are more guided by passions rather than by reason.
I think that this maxim very aptly describes our Indian youth. Like the children following the Pied Piper of Hamelin, they will follow any charlatan or fraud who gives them hope.
The great Superman gave our Indian youth hope, by his slogan ' vikas ', and in droves, and like a herd, our youth voted for him en masse in the May 2014 Lok Sabha elections, thinking that vikas meant millions of jobs will be created for them. And in view of the massive unemployment in India ( see my blog ' Unemployment in India ' on justicekatju.blogspot.in) all that the Indian youth care for is jobs.
I met a lot of young people from all over the country before the May 2014 Lok Sabha elections, and I found it was impossible to talk rationally to them. They were like the Germans in the 1930s who, like persons hypnotized, kept saying" Hitler will save us ". So the slogan of the Indian youth before May 2014 was ' Modi will save us '.
However, after May 2014 instead of jobs they have got a big 'thenga', and stunts like ' Swatchata Abhiyan ', ' Yoga Diwas ', etc.( see my blog ' The Dream has Evaporated ' ).
Feeling cheated, swindled and taken for a ride by the Great Man, the youth of Delhi vented out their anger in February 2015 by voting overwhelmingly for another Miracle Man, Kejriwal, who promised them the moon. So from one Sapnon ka Saudagar they rushed to the embrace of another, like an emotional damsel, being fed up of one lover, seeks another ( see my blog ' The Reality about Arvind Kejriwal ' and other blogs on him ).
Soon, Indian youth, you will be fed up of him too, and seek a new lover. You will not use your brains ( assuming you have any ), and instead follow any charlatan or conjurer who deceives you and gives you some hope.
Many decades back that crook Indira Gandhi befooled the nation by her slogan ' Garibi hatao '. Then came the slogan ' vikas '. And lately, ' Imandari '.
Best of luck to you !

Can you please give the best alternative from the three you mentioned.? Or are you suggesting we should vote to Mulayam Lalu Nitish combine? Or even Karunanidhi or even Jayalalitha individually? You conveniently forgot to mention the best third option for the youth of this country to place their hopes on. If you have even remotely considered yourself as a candidate, kindly join the race. Most welcome and all the best wishes.
