Tech tonic: IITians form political party POOJA VIRENDRA KUMAR TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2006 12:47:46 PM]

BANGALORE: Seems like Mani Rathnam's Yuva is getting off the reels. Five IITians, all in their 20s, have decided to take up mainstream politics. The youths, based in Jodhpur, will be in the city to campaign for their national party, " Paritrana'' , which was launched in Jodhpur on Friday. "Giving up handsome pay packages, comfort of family and support of friends wasn't that easy,'' says Tanmay Rajpurohit, the national president of the party and B Tech in aerospace from IIT Bombay followed by an MS from GeorgiaTech and double masters in arts. "But my inner voice told me that I should invest my efforts in my country rather than making my pockets heavier,'' said Ajit Ashwalayan Shukla, vice president of the party "People think we are crazy so much so that our families have also failed to understand our motto, but we won't give up,'' he added. The core team of "Paritrana' ' comprises Rajpurohit , Shukla, Amit Beesen, also the vice president and a B Tech (Mechanical) from IIT Bombay and a LLB graduate, Chandrashekhar (national treasurer), B Tech (computer science) from IIT Kanpur, Bharat Sundaram, the PRO of the party and B Tech from IIT Kanpur and PhD in electronics from Melbourne. "Paritrana means complete relief from the various causes of distress, and that is what we want to do for our people,'' added Chandrashekhar. Low funds have not discouraged them in their efforts of holding door-to-door campaigns in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and parts of Maharashtra. "We strongly feel that the politicians of today are no longer the voice of the common man but instead they voice their own personal agendas through which they can fetch maximum votes,'' said Shukla. "We are not here for the power game. We are here to deal with the grassroots issues of each and every small village that we come across,'' added Shukla. The zeal and burning desire of the five youngsters sounds sincere. "I believe that we are just five ordinary boys from the middle class family with no godfathers in politics but have dared to come forward and fight for our rights,'' said Chandrashekhar. "And we will succeed in it,'' he added. After the launch of the party at the Suchana Kendra in Jodhpur, the party members, as a part of their promotional campaign will tour Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/Tech _tonic_IITians_form_political_party/articleshow/msid-1384411 ,curpg-3.cms

It's not that intelligent students don't want to get into active politics but it's usually the existing scenario which makes them to decide otherwise. For example what's the wisdom behind allowing a 30 or 40 something guy to contest in a college or university election. Why should outsiders (usually hired goondahs) not associated with a particular college or university be allowed to work for the elections?? All students go to a college to study not to get into a fight and get hospitalised. Moreover even if the student dares their family will advise against it. Afterall whose parents will want their child to clash with professional goondahs on a regular basis.

The people in our country still likes to hear lofty promises and even now falls for all those lies. Nobody appreciates the truth. As long as it continues the IITians or anybody can't help us, anybody, including those criminals, mouthing exciting fantasies will go on winning the elections.

Your views please!!

Keep aside the techies, anyone going up in coorporate ladder is exposed to or has to be part of politics, if someone think he/she is good in it then why not give political skills a full blown exposure.

Reminds me in my annual review my boss asked whats the first thing you learnt from me 😆 😆 spur of the moment answer was politics. He was 😲 😆 and no I was not fired.
