Abstract: These days the youth are at odds with the society. They seem to be in open revolt against it judging by their violent agitations and unrest. Youth unrest in the past did not go beyond a certain limits. But the present days are characterized by youth rebellion, the like of which was never seen in the past. The cause of youth unrest often mentioned include a faulty educational planning with its lack of emphasis on preparing students adequately for economic pursuits, lack of sufficient and healthy contacts between students and teachers and exploitation and misleading of the students and youths by political leaders. Some are of the view that unrest among the youth stems from widespread disease of social indiscipline manifested in the phenomena like corruption, bribery, nepotism and socio-political immorality. Whatever may be the causes, the fact remains that the youth naturally revolt in the absence of anything which give meaning and a direction of life and career.
