YOUTH AND POLITICS IN PAKISTAN

The need for youth’s interest in politics as a means of involving today’s young in tomorrow’s democracy can not be over emphasized. Political participation by citizens is considered a pre-requisite for successful democratic societies. In a democracy, the young need to assume their civic responsibility as participating citizens in the common good, and therefore, in political activity. In the case of a developing democracy like Pakistan, this participation on the part of youth is of paramount importance. July 2006
