Points: 1985 dedicated to Youths — Rajiv Gandhi and Mikhail Gorbachov are young leaders — Role Youth in different countries — Tasks before Indian Youths.
The three traditional forces are the army, the navy and the air force. But the fourth and most important force in the world today in any country is the youth force. The UNO recognized this when the year 1985 was declared by the UNO as the International Youth Year. In India, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, also on the very birthday of Swami Vivekananda, dedicated the year 1985 to Indian youths. Nothing could be more appropriate.
It is a happy coincidence that the year 1985 also saw the two great nations of the world, India and USSR, installing two rather young leaders at the helm of their governments—Shri Rajiv Gandhi and Mikhail Gorbachov. Both of them are eager to introduce a new outlook and a new style of work for a better nation and a better world. Our Prime Minister has already given a call to Indian youths to get ready for a take-off to the 21st century.
The International Youth Year saw many youth delegations to and from India. These strengthened the bonds between peoples, specially the neighboring countries. The future of the world, we know, depends on the youths living in the different parts of the world.
India is overpopulated. The poverty of her people can never he solved without reducing the growth rate of her population to zero. The youths should carry on an effective campaign for population check. Another sore point, a great social evil and national shame, is the dowry system. Lives of many young women every year are being sacrificed over the wrangles on dowry. Youths must come forward and stop this. They should also keep their neighborhoods clean. The youths should refuse to become mere puppets of die-hard politicians and should assert themselves for a better campus-life.
