Students & Politics

Introduction:
Nowadays students all over the world are interested in politics. Many of them are fond of taking part in politics. But the first duty of students is to study their books to increase their knowledge. They should attend their classes regularly. They should listen to their teachers attentively in their classrooms. They should discuss their problems in studies with their teachers and other students. If they do so in their schools, colleges or universities they will be good students.

First duty of Students:
After completing their studies at college and at home they may think about politics. They may read newspapers or listen to the radio to learn about the political situation of their country. They may discuss politics with their friend, parents, teachers and others. It is, of course, desirable for students to know the facts about their country’s politics. Students may read the speeches of the country’s rulers or political leaders in newspapers. They may hear them on the radio and television. They can attend discussions on political matters. They can even take part in these discussions. But they should take part in these discussions which are arranged by their college societies or literary organizations. Students having the voting age can vote in elections. They can try to understand the programs of different political parties. But they study should not take part in the activities or disputes of political parties or leaders.
Students should not take so much interest in politics:
It is not good for students to join political processions. If they go with such processions they are no more in a mood to study. They raise slogans or shout at others. They also favor one political party and oppose others. When they return from these processions they cannot study their books for a long time. Thus, much of their precious time is wasted. Students should remain away from political processions as much as possible. Students should also avoid public meetings of political parties. If they attend such meetings they hear the speeches of political leaders. They waste their time for studies. They become emotional while hearing the political speeches. They begin liking some political leaders and hating others. All this has a bad effect upon their minds. So students should not attend public meetings.

Student should not take part in politics:
Students should not take part in active politics. They should never become members of political parties. They should not favor one political party and oppose another. They may only learn the facts of politics. They may try to know the political affairs of their country. It is good for students to learn about the policies of their government. They may know about the political plans of the government. They may know about the foreign policy of the country. They may study the relations of their country with other countries.
Conclusion:
Students may also try to know about international politics. They may try to know about important political events in different countries of the world. They may learn about the policies of different countries. Students may increase their knowledge of politics. But they should not take part in politics. Some politics leaders and political parties use them for their own political motives. It is, therefore pretty essential that students must be vigilant of such opportunists.
