If you still think, youth or students as you proposed can change the
face of India, you are seriously mistaken. Take the case of Praful K
Mahanta or our very own Lalu yadav or CB Naidu, they all made into
politics as very young student leaders. or even put it bluntly, all
current politicians are once students and young people.
corruption is a worldwide phenomenon, no country in the world is free
from it's clutches. I'll be happy if you can get estimates of
corruption to GDP, if it is less than a percentage point(most
probably), I don't care at all. Corruption alone is not the problem or
root cause to every problem. Corruption takes back seat if we have
a vibrant and prospering economy. No alternate to it.
