The Story in Brief
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said in Nagpur that India’s youth are a demographic dividend but could become a burden without proper guidance and engagement. Speaking at an event organised by the Lokmat media group, he urged young people to consider future generations and said employment must include dignified labour, not just formal jobs. He also encouraged entrepreneurship and perseverance.
Bhagwat said India should set its own measures for development rather than copy the US, China, Australia or other countries. He argued that the country’s large population and limited geography require a distinct approach. He also called for a balance between democratic differences and national unity, and said India should help the world find a balanced path.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy reading is that young Indians need only motivational speeches, while the opposite exaggeration treats every youth concern as political unrest. Neither fits the facts. A demographic dividend depends on useful education, decent work and room for dissent, not slogans about becoming a world teacher. The practical test is whether young people gain skills, jobs and dignity in the years ahead.
