Another title: Students In Politics - A Global Phenomenon

The student community, being young and energetic, has a fire, which at the touch of a spark ignites into a very sensuous and passionate matter. They, being young have no patience, are lively and malleable. In the current global scenario, the trend of students actively participating in politics began in the early 20th century, when there were a lot of wars taking place in the global scenario. The elders being busy with their bread earning, they actively encouraged the youngsters to enter the arena of politics. Political parties at that time started enlisting the support of the young students who organized themselves happily, to help one party or the other.

However, once the global turmoil situations cooled down, it was to be reconsidered if students should be allowed or courage to enter politics. Some sections of society now started believing that students should stay away from politics and keep to their study schedules only. While the society kept debating on this issue, the politician took the younger generation as their work cum energy tanks and this participation of students in politics has come to stay.

There is of course nothing without advantages and disadvantages, so does this involvement of students in politics. There are both serious disadvantages and may be few advantages too of students being on the center stage of politics. While the students, have primarily entered college for studies they get distracted from their prime objective and become entangled in the dirty game of politics.

This leads to closure of institutions which again take a toll of students' study time. The very innocent and loving appearance of children gets lost and they become rude, arrogant and disobedient. When there is too much of hooliganism entering into educational institutions, even police is to be called sometimes and there is utter disorder in the campus and even bullets find their way among the students. The disadvantages of students entering politics are numerous and destructive.

When we study the advantages of this system, they do exist but, are very few and hardly significant. Children entering the arena of politics learn the art of public speaking. They learn to be assertive and impressive. This medium is a good stepping stone to the art of leadership. The important and real advantage is that students in these prime years of life gain a lot of knowledge of politics which gives them training to enter the arena as trained politicians. Also they grow the ability to make a call or decide on any affair regarding the country, which can be good or bad.

After studying the pros and cons of students' participation in politics, the disadvantages are more damaging than the gains acquired in the sequence. For, all the advantages students gain, can as well be achieved so in other ways also and there is no need for their entry into politics.
Students must stay away from politics and retain their interest in studies which alone can help them steer the ships of their lives.
