NEW DELHI : India is one of the youngest countries in the world, with 27.3% of its population aged 15–29 years, which is considered the “youth". The young population is viewed as the key to unlocking a country’s identity, social inclusion and rights, and political activism.
While young Indians overwhelmingly identify as Indians over other forms of identity such as religious or regional, support liberal values, and participate in the electoral process, they shy away from engaging in political activities or associating themselves with a political party, showed an online survey Voices for Inclusion, Belonging and Empowerment (VIBE), conducted by Youth Ki Awaaz in collaboration with Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC), Synergy Sansthan, and Project Potential.
