East or West, North or South, youth everywhere under the Sun, is in a state of restlessness and revolt. It was so in the past and it shall be so in future as we, howsoever glamorous and glittering the social fabric might become and howsoever secure and stable they might feel under the new dispensation. The young have never rested on their past laurels nor have they felt contented with their present possibilities. The chords of their impulses, instincts and intuitions are always vocal and vibrant. No doubt the problems of youth in different parts of the world under different socio-political systems differ in contours and contents. But one thing is almost certain that the modern youth is up against problems, the like of which did not exist in the past.

Indian youth are going through turbulent times. Ever since independence, the youth of the country has been going adrift. They feel alienated and frustrated. There are many reasons for this sense of frustration and aberration. Life has changed so fast in the last few decades, that the entire social structure has undergone a big change. Besides overpopulation, political upheavals, unemployment, erosion in Indian values. Influence of western civilization and too much commercialization has made life very complicated forth new generation.

It cannot be denied that it is the young who are going to be the builders of tomorrow. Therefore, it is the duty of the parents, leaders and elders to look into the problems of the youth and to provide them a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Otherwise the boundless energy of the youth will be dissipated in the wrong direction and lead to chaos in the country.
