All the Youth Representatives have been handed over important responsibilities. This has made it possible for us to remain connected to Youth representatives from around the world. But what is more important to achieve through such exercises is to realize that the Award Programme is global in nature. Often times while discussing about issues that we are facing on a regular basis, we regular that India's internal Problems are quite similar to problems that youth are facing all over the world. For people who are involves, most days go past by their thinking that they are not being heard. Maybe it is true. But maybe it is not.

  • Negative Anarchy: the Cut Throat Politics of Ram Mandir, Adding Much to the BJP's Woes!
    Negative Anarchy: The Cut Throat Politics Of Ram Mandir, Adding Much To The BJP’s Woes! By Sabyasachi Biswal , January 22, 2019 For time immemorial, anarchy has struck into our chord a feeling of uneasiness, a state of chaos difficult to control without a central figure of power and have long been associated with the synonyms of disorder, disturbance, lawlessness and mayhem. But quite surprisingly the dictionary meaning and the one accepted in the political spheres of theorists and researchers claim anarchy as a concept having both positive and negative implications. On one hand it is described as a negative “lack of control” (Cambridge Dictionary n.d.) and on the other it is portrayed as a positive “utopia” where citizens enjoy complete freedom without the government’s intervention (Merriam Webster n.d.). Hence, it was no surprise that famous anarchist David Wieck in his famous article “The negativity of anarchism” mentioned anarchy as an idea of liberation, an end to overt or covert power structures that control movements of liberations as well as rejection of concept that dominates the society for dubious self-interest on grounds of hierarchical control. Though it sat well inside the ears, he also ended up describing it as highly anti-political and a system of inconceivable power calling out a greater question of who will decide and quite fearfully attached it to the dissolution of only stable political order – democracy (Wieck 1975). Anarchy has prevailed as the reason for some of the greatest revolutions, the pages of history has ever seen. The French Revolution of 1789 and the Tunisian Revolution in the early 2011 stands out as some of the most prominent revolutions arising out from positive anarchist ideas among others, threatening to topple the regimes of their respective countries by the likes of common men like Robespierre and Bouzazi if the demands of the ordinary citizens are not met to establish a democratic state if not socialist.
