Status of Youth in Indian Politics

Looking back to the ancient period of the country, we can find that the main political power remained in hands of youth and the old people were just taken for advice. And then the society had much lesser corruption than before. But now a days, youth is almost inactive in this field and so the corruption has risen to its peak value. Do you think there's a relation between the political activity of youth and corruption? What reason do you think for this? Can you find any present youth leader doing his best to increase the involvement of youth in Indian Politics? And atlast, do you think this will be favourable to betterment of the society?
