HDS (Hindu Dharma sena) is An Unit of India's Growing Youths.
--Youth is the backbone of a country. Youth can play an important role in building a strong and united India. Unfortunately, for decades, since independence, youth have felt neglected, disillusioned and rudderless. They need a sense of direction, involvement and responsibility. The youth power should be harnessed to tackle the age-old social evils and other problems facing the country. Now that the voting age has been lowered to 18, youth can play a critical role in the coming years to transform the hopes and aspirations of the nation into a reality. They should act judiciously. They should not become pawns in the hands of politicians. Thus in India of tomorrow, youth is assured of a decisive role in the task of nation-building even though indirectly.

Youth in any country form its backbone. It is on youths shoulders that the responsibility for change, progress and innovations lies. Youth are starry eyed, full of idealism and bubbling with energy to honestly fight for a cause. Every age suffers from the conservation of its elders. It is the youth only who have the necessary courage and initiative to break out the taboos and crippling practices. Mao-tse Tung of China realised this latent power and dedication of the youth of his country. He, therefore, entrusted them with the Cultural Revolution—a movement intended to weed out the deadwood in the party, who stood for status quo. Again in our own. country, our youth played a significant role in the freedom struggle and made considerable sacrifices.

But, unfortunately, since the attainment of Independence, the youth in the country have been going adrift. They have not been associated with the contemporary national problems. They have not been assimilated in the mainstream of national life. The youth feel alienated and, therefore to a certain extent, frustrated. Unless there are worthy causes or challenging problems to give our youth a chance to show their mettle, there is bound to be a sense of dissatisfaction. And the youth India for decades has felt neglected. Consequently their energies and stamina are getting misdirected into negative thinking and destructive activities. Partly the leadership of the country is responsible for this state the youth.
