Today's era is the era of political awakening. Today's history is the history of national movements. At such times, it is natural for people to become attracted towards politics. Today we see that the farmer working in the fields, the laborer working in the mills, the babu working in the office, the businessman engaged in business, the teacher engaged in teaching etc. have all become politicians, there is political awareness in all.
Political debates take place everywhere at the paan shop, at the farmer's chaupal. Everyone takes interest in political activities. In countries like India, where there is a democratic system of governance, this political awareness is especially visible. Needless to say that the student is also a part of politically conscious society and that is why he too cannot stay away from politics.
Now the question arises that to what extent is it appropriate for a student to participate in politics? Can a student fulfill his objectives by taking an active part in politics.
Purpose of student life The meaning of the word Vidyarthi is – “Vidya eva artha: yasya saha” i.e. the one whose purpose is to acquire knowledge, he is called a student. This means that student life is a time of learning. The main aim of the student's life is to make all-round development of life by getting education of different types of knowledge and science. It's time to build life.
While developing physical, mental and intellectual in the student life itself, the outline of future life is prepared. This is the time to build personal and social life. The ultimate aim of the student is to organize life as an ideal citizen while earning many disciplines like literature, music, history, geography, political science, philosophy, spiritual-science, physical-science etc.
Needless to say that it is absolutely necessary for a student to study political science along with other disciplines, only then he can become a successful citizen in the future.
Students and Politics
We have said that the knowledge of Political Science is absolutely essential for the student. Today's student will be tomorrow's leader and politician. But the point to be noted is that this is the time to acquire knowledge of politics and other subjects, not to use them. In order to understand the theory, the experiments of science etc. are shown to the students in the laboratories, but these experiments are meant to explain the experimental form of the principles. The purpose of those experiments is only for the personal development of the students.
This means that the student should acquire all kinds of theoretical knowledge during his study period. Even if the principles are to be understood by using them for samples in laboratories. In fact, the students do not use the principles in the laboratory, but learn how these experiments will be done in the future.
The same thing should be understood in relation to politics that the theoretical knowledge of politics is necessary for the student. It is also necessary to know the method of its use with the help of gurus. But till knowing should be the goal of the student, actively participating can be detrimental to him. He should leave the college on the day he likes to take part in politics and move beyond student life and enter social and national life.
Those who take active part in politics while being students, they fall from their purpose and are corrupted from their path and their condition is like that of a man who wants to reach the destination quickly before the train stops at the station. He jumped from the compartment of a moving train.
Today's student is a matter of regret and it is the country's misfortune that today's student has started taking active part in politics by forgetting the purpose of his knowledge acquisition. At this time his duty is to spread knowledge by following the discipline of the school, he has the right to get all kinds of facilities of study. But the student forgets his duties and starts fighting for civil rights.
What will happen to the country where the students, who will become the captain of the country tomorrow, do not perform their duty? Today, when we see students shouting slogans on the streets, when they hear agitating against their gurus and any administrative system and when they read in the newspapers that the students broke the windows of the bus, set the government buildings on fire. , Three dead, ten injured etc., in police encounterWhen national property is damaged, then it appears that the student is taking out the funeral of the country, insulting his ancestors, obstructing himself in the path of his progress, obstructing the development of the country.
