The Indian politics in recent times has followed the trajectory of zero-tolerance towards ethics and morals . The likes of Lalu Yadav , Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati , to name a few , have only given to ridiculous principles at par with chauvinistic and dynastic currents . How can these leaders immersed in the ocean of corruption offer any progressive vision to new crop of young leaders , wishing to carve a niche in the field of politics ? No doubt , this has shed hopelessness and negativism among the political wannabes in the field of politics. No wonder the so-called youth wings of the major political parties have turned out to be schools of gun-culture and sycophancy . Even the ones , who are trying to be different are getting little support from the old sharks !! Probably , these worn-out leaders don't want to be overtaken by strong young leaders .
