In my view its possible if only we can empower them by counting each vote of them counted as 10 votes or more depending on their socio-education backgroud. This will enable people like you and me to participate in current system and bring a psotive change.

yes, it is possible for youth to get into Politics and there are already a few who have started. In fact, there is a political party formed by 3 IIT graduates in Northern India. But that isn't one of the problems at the moment - Votes can be counted.. but there should be votes to count. Everyone doesn't vote - In fact 76% of the youth are completely indifferent towards Politics. The problem, also, rises when the rural educated (school) youth vote as they are promised education/employment but the urban well educated youth that don't find time or interest to take part in the Political system, just don't vote. Our country is a Democratic country - of the people, by the people and for the people. But it's these people who need to get their asses up and be aware of what's happenin around and take a bloody stand. And, Most of all - Get out and Vote. One vote matters - it can make all the difference! Once the interest into Politics comes in, it's up to Us (n why i say us is because i am part of this youth culture in India) to define what stand we want to take - whether it's to get into the Parliament, to start a movement, to make others aware in whatever you know and eventually help others make society/community - town - city - state - country a Better Place!
So Youth into Politics - Definitely!

YES. In India a youth can cast his vote from 18 years old. But I have negative opinion about this. Previously it was 21 years old as age limit to vote. It was a more preferable, because by 21 years old a youth will complete his graduation, after this, entry in politics is somewhat admissible. But before 21 years old it may affect in the study of a student.

I am currently volunteering on a two campaigns actively. The number of high-school youth who are not eligible to vote but volunteer to help is wonderful. Some of our high schools require civic volunteering and many seem to enjoy helping and volunteering to fulfill their requirements. I don't want anyone participating in elections who was bribed.

yes it quiet possible for youth to make it to politics but he has be interested in it and take active participation in them and he should get in the right part of it.Youth should get a gist of politics from college days itself so that they know the actual things involved in it.
