Where is Our Future ?

I get frenetic about the way political events churn out in our country. Since the dawn of democracy, the political parties have been fooling Nepalese in a way or other. Surprisingly for a country where 73 percent of the population is under 35 years of age and 50 percent is under 18, most of the political leaders who represent us are elderly, who discard the involvement of youths.

It is said that “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”  A hope for a prosperous Nepal rests in the hand of youths who are the future of this country. But instable political system have been creating impediment for the youths to lead the socio-economic progress in the country.

Emigration by youths is record high, a large chunk of youth have become prey of political parties and are spoiling their prime time without utilizing their ability  in creative and promising works etc. Contrastingly, there is also a small chunk of optimistic youths who tirelessly toil for better situation of the country. The eminent need of the time is to create a favorable ambience for a rapid socio-economic progress through reforms via critical inquiry of the past and current situation of the country. Such a noble task should be spearheaded by youths and without any delay.
