ENGLISH ESSAY ‘Students and
politics’ FROM 350 TO 400 WORDS
It
has been a controversial topic for a long time whether students should actively
participate in politics or not. Some politicians, teachers and students are of
the view that students should wholeheartedly participate in politics and take
active interest. Those who are against this view also strongly put forward
their points.
Some
people believe that politics, being a dirty game, creates groups and parties
among the students. This leads to a lasting rivalry among them and disturbs their
peace of mind thereby harming their academic progress. Students in schools and
colleges should not be involved in political tussle with each other. By doing
so, we don’t do justice with them. They participate in strikes, demonstrations
and processions. At times, there is a clash with the police or college
authorities and students are put behind bars and have to contest legal cases in
the court. Thus, very valuable time is lost if students participate in
politics. Many innocent students, who really want to study, also lose their
valuable time by associating with those who are actively involved in politics.
In short, participation in politics spoils the career of a student and renders
him useless for the rest of his life.
Those
who favors students’ participation in politics say hat education means all
around development and not only acquiring literacy. Participation in politics
leads to the all round development of an individual student. The student comes
to know of what is happening in the country and the world around him. He does
not remain a mere book-worm but learns the qualities of leadership and he
becomes aggressive, dominating and an alert young man ready to face the battle
of life after college. Participation in politics makes him a good citizen, a
responsible person and a cultured human being. He gains a fair practice of
debating and putting forward his view point with force and conviction. He
acquires the qualities of leadership and develops the qualities of courage,
sincerity of purpose, spirit of service, self-discipline and devotion to duty.
Such people are of the view that the great leaders of our nation were great
student leaders in their student life.
We
can conclude that students should tread the middle path. Students should not
involve themselves very actively in politics which is sure to harm their
studies, as being the main goal of their life.
