Youth Leadership - EMIs and Pink Slips

With more and more voters in ths 18-25 range, India is looking at a new dimension and that is 'young leadership'. But what is dished out as youth leadership is a worrisome trend. Let's look at some young leaders - Rahul Gandhi, Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Umar Abdullah, Priya Dutt, Milind Deora, Manvendra Singh, Dushyant Singh, Anurag Thakur, Dayanidhi Maran, Uddhav Thackeray, Supriya Sule, Ajit Pawar, Bharat Solanki and many more. One thing which strikes the mind immediately is that all these young leaders irrespecive of their parties are sons, daughters or kins of the politicians who have ruled the roost over the years. Now that begs a few questions

If they were not born as what they are, would they have reached there?
What if instead of being new vision, they are just the proverbial 'chip off the old block'?
Are they just ornamental or can they really bring in the change?
How many of them have so far demonstrated, in work and not in speeches, that they can make a difference?

That's where the shiver sets in and the questions asked are
Do I need a young leader who has never paid an EMI?
Do I need a young leader who has so far demonstrated no signs of freshness except that of the face?
Would these young leaders really understand how painful being unemployed is?
Can those who have got things on platter understand the struggles a common man has to go through?
Will we now never find a statesman like Atal Bihari Vajpayee rise from ranks of a common man?
Should those living as common public forget that they too have a say in policy making or hope to be a leader and just hand it over to dynasties to rule them?

And the biggest questions

Is our democracy moving back to monarchy?
And the answer is - To prevent this, one has to support whoever has the vision for a Better India, is accountable, clean and can deliver, irrespective of the age.
