Youth Representation

I always get out of my temper looking at the youth being misrepresented in this country; Let me come to the point what drives me really out of my mind.

When the youth is represented by some very young (in their late thirties and early forties) heirs of political families.
I have nothing against their fortune, they can have it in their cosy lives, but when they start boasting about the representation of the Indian youth than it’s unbearable. Ask them what do they know about this country, what have they seen till the public saw them, I bet you will get my point, they have never seen the hardships the youth of this country faced, for them getting into Wharton / Oxford / Harvard was as easy as to get a chocolate truffle cake on their birthdays. They will never be faced with a situation when a young guy will be visiting the site of Harvard and dropped the idea of doing an MBA from there because the cost would be somewhere around 10 million rupee in two years.

When some 20 something bunch of idiots (gender agnostic) in a TV reality show trying to prove themselves cool by using offensive language among themselves.
I classify this class of people as sick headed idiots who are trying to prove them self cool, but the problem with being cool is that the moment you try to prove you are cool you are no more. How can this represent the Indian youth majority of which is still uncomfortable seeing a not so clean movie in front of their parents.
I think out of above two cases I have made my point clear, than the point arises that what really represents youth in this country, believe me I am not trying to be representative of any one here but in my view the youth of this country is a group of people sitting somewhere in DU thinking about their career and how to make it big, and also a group of young techies in an engineering college who are working to get their degree and a nice job, the youth is a also represented by a team of IT folks working day in and out to get there project done. The youth is a bunch of UG doctors protesting against the reservation in PG entrance because it is already a pain to get the seat, The youth is me a 27 year old fellow who worked not so hard to get into an engineering college during my teen years, and then equally not so hard to get a job.
My pain is for being misrepresented...............my request is very simple, stop giving us wrong symbols. They are not us............!
