The youth form a critical part of India's population and have become increasingly involved in the Political, Social and Economic landscape of the country. By voting in elections, participating in political campaigns, student movements, social campaigns, online campaigns, discussing political issues and being leaders in democratic institutions. In modern day India, the youth influence political discourse by using social media to raise awareness about issues such as unemployment, education, corruption, Gender Equality, Environmental Protection and Social Justice. However, there are several factors limiting the youth's involvement in politics. These include unemployment, economic disparities, Caste and Religious divides, political manipulation, false information and lack of representation within the legislative body. This paper explores the role of the youth in modern day politics. Including participation in democracy, influencing political awareness, impact of social media and contributing to political leadership. This paper will analyse the main problems facing young people in politics. This paper argues that youth participation is fundamental to increasing democratic values, encouraging inclusion and promoting long term development in India.
