It has become a common practice these days that people hand their child a poster with controversial political slogans on it or record a video of him/her rebuking one political leader or the other. The purpose behind doing this is to attract the attention of the masses towards them or to make their point of view go viral within no time. This is unfortunate and unethical. Using innocent children for propaganda politics is not only lamentable, but outright criminal. Politics is too dirty a pool to throw our children in. We must let them first grow up as educated, civilized, honourable and independent souls, and join politics later. Children have no acumen to understand such a serious subject, let alone comment on it or take sides about it.Besides, political brainwashing of the innocent is askin to mentally incapacitating them. Once driven on this course and reinforced by popularity tag, the child never springs out of it. It becomes hard for him/her to focus on anything else and to cultivate an independent and comprehensive outlook. The child become a mess and only parents are to be blamed for this. Giving exposure to our children is our responsibility, but giving them compromised exposure is doing them no good. We should not put the cart before the horse. Children need to be educated first and then allowed to pursue whatever they want.We should keep them away from the prevalent political rhetoric, and educate them to be physically, mentally and emotionally strong.
