    While the youth of this country is busy rioting.................

    ....................... kids/teens in India are toiling to get into Universities, and gaining knowledge.

    Obama rightly said last month, the next front is going to be the knowledge, and the west is lagging behind the China and India.

      I am not generalising. This is a comparison between a section of youth in this country, and a section of youth in other. I just wanted to highlight the lack of ambition that is going to drag us down.

        What's the welfare state like in India?

        Remove the welfare state and young people will soon be toiling to earn a living.

                WHS. The welfare state is the root of all evil. But it needs to be seen which political party does a political suicide by getting rid of it.
