Shashi Tharoor for bigger role for youth in decision-making
The Hindu
Older people are making decisions for a young majority in the country, Shashi Tharoor, MP, has said.
“India is already 51% under the age of 25. This is your country. You are the majority. But do you get a say in what is actually done to rule the country,” he asked students of St. Teresa’s College at an interactive session on Monday. Mr. Tharoor pointed out that the country held the world record for the average age of the population at 27, and the average age of the cabinet at 63. “There is no country with a bigger gap,” he said.
