India is home to more than 1.2 billion people and second only to China’s population. Because of that huge population and the fact that it’s a federal republic like the U.S. India is often called the world’s largest democracy. India’s population is also young. Its median age is 27 years old. In the U.S. that age is closer to 37.
    It’s no wonder why so many Indians who are close to the voting age of 18 are realizing they have political power. This is something that country’s politicians are noticing, too. Many young people are first time voters. Given that India’s youth makes up half of its billion plus population, how India’s young vote will determine the country’s future.
    They are obviously really frustrated with current political situation in their country. The only government these youngsters have really known is the current Congress party Led One, which is in power for the last ten years. During that time, prices have risen sharply. The price of petrol is doubled. Some young people are going to vote for a different party, one that will fight inflation and will take firm action to control inflation in the difficult global economy.
