Should we have Age Limit or Retirement for Politicians?
According to my point of view there should be an age limit. In our country every field have some retirement age, but in politics no such age limit is there. Generally it has been seen that at the age of 55-60 a person becomes lazy and many health problems engulfs.At that span of time he loses his capability to think more effectively. As we know politicians are very crucial and important part of our country. So politicians should have retirement age.
Old is gold,is this true for politics so far?
I feel it is good to give youth more opportunities because they are full of ideas and are energetic to their tasks. Youth are full of passion and they have capability to work with zeal and confidence. They are fresh minded and can take right decision. The decision taken by young person is dynamic. If there willbe age limit then young generation will get chance to prove themselves. Now a day’s more than 90 % of Indian politicians are above 60. Just because there is no age limit, a politician continues to do his job until he is alive. I know they have experience but after a certain age limit they are not able to work so effectively which automatically lowers the development of our country. Due to lack of job opportunities many youngsters are going to foreign countries for higher education or in seek of good job. Youth should be given opportunity in politics. If there will be age limit of 60 years for politicians and they won’t be allowed to work beyond this age many of the young people will get chance to work and do some good steps to improve our nation . So that there may be chance of change in corrupted politics and make our country corruption free and developed. Politicians would need to retire notonly because they are physically unable to cope with the rigors of this demanding career, but because they feel that they have done a bit for the country. So I suggest that the age limit should be restricted up to age of 60.

I don’t think its necessary to limit age of politicians but the criteria of his/her retirement should be depend upon the outcome of his work.if he is working with good result he/she should be on seat for no time limit where as if results of his working is not good,he should be retired from his duty….!!
yes!! there should be an age limit for the politicians. those retirered politicians should give their experience to the new comers. so that they can combine their ideas with experience and take our country to a good height. it is TRUE THAT experience matters allot but it is equally true that new ideas are also important so according to me after a certain age politicians should take retierment and then guide the new ones to work in better direction.
Yeah sure, we absolutely require to have some age limit for politicians. We should take the most important thing in mind when it comes to working of a person his capability to work should always be kept in check. An age limit on politicians will not only be better for the politicians it should also better for a country as a whole.
As limiting on politicians age will give them time to take a break from the endless job they have done throughout their life, it will also give chance to young blood to prove there metal.
Country like United States Of America too have an age limit for their President, then why should not country like India do that.
No doubt that a person would have gained a lot of experience but it should also stands to reason that Youth is a symbol for strength and Innovation. The youngsters are asking for their stand in politics from a very large period of time and now the time has come to fulfill their wish.
According to me there should be age limit for politicians which should be around 60-70, it should be so late because in politics experience matter more as compared to other professions so age limit must be somewhat more as compared to other professions.Health of the politician must be a criteria in addition to age limit. New generation must be invited by the experienced ones and should be trained.the training and the new innovative thoughts of youth can lead India to new heights .
so in my view there should be age limit and also there must be a good working environment in which youth can gain experience of experienced and use it acc to their own ideas.
No, i am not agree with this. Anna Hajare is a old person but he able for our politician minister due to his nature of service for people.
We may make any other law that well persons can take our responsibility just like me, and should not allow those persons who are not able for this responsibility.
yes we have a age limit for politician.because then our young people have a chance for politics. and our youth give a big contribution for our country.our young generation have a new tought and new ideas for our population and they can think better for us.and our politician have big age but they are still in politics.so they donot want to give chance for young.and awe not able to think new for our country.so a age limit will there and a good selection for politicians. and then we can develop our country fast with youth .
with the age the experiences increases ….
that is entirely true but if we are talking about the politics there should be the age limit because the old people might not be updated with new mentality and trend then they might not make smart and good decisions . and as long as we have limiter seats in politics then the old and inefficient people are not giving the chance to the young and smart generation and that is unfortunate and
if we have age limit in all the govt. jobs and there is retirement scheme then why not in politics……

there should not be any age limit as new people with new ideas can give new dimensions to indian people and indian society.i think new people should always get chance to show their potential to lead country from the front.
the age limit must be in politician retirement because the human mind work at the limited age.if we don’t have age limit they brought unwanted decision.if the retirement will not done then how come the youth wiil enter the politics and that views how to come in front of our people.so the age limit become very crucial for the country growth because the old person will not work fast as the youth done.
“i think there should be no age limit for the politicians” Because there is no age limit for doing work and a age factor doesn’t make any effect while working if a politician who is 60yrs old, and he is physically fit it doesn’t mean that he can’t work in this age. They have gain lot of experience through their carrier and they knows very well what is right or wrong. So by their experience they are capable for taking the right decision. but after a certain age, if a politician doesn’t feels physically good or feels that he is unable to give good services to his country..or his health is supporting him than retirement must be given to that people, Because it’s a question of future of our country.So it must taken seriously.
There is not such provision that young guys can’t get entry in politics.if they want to contribute in the development of our country through politic,then they are always free to enter in the politics and can prove themselves with their energy, new innovation and Zeal!
YES AGE LIMIT SHOULD BE THERE. IF AGE LIMIT IS NOT THERE THAN HOW NEW GENERATIONS GETS JOB AND HOW THEY GETS EXPIRIENCE IN POLITICS. IF ONLY OLD PERSONS WORKS THEN THEY DONT CHANGE THEIR RULES AND WORKING WAY SO THEIR SHOULD BE AGE LIMIT AND YONGESTERS WILL GETS CHNCE TO DO WORK AND OLD PRESONS HAVE TO TAKE THEIR RETIREMENTS AND YONGERSTOURS JOIN IT WITH NEW PASSION .. SO ITR WILL HELPFUL FOR OUR COUNTRY
According to me there should be a age limit for the politicians as we talk about the entry and retirement. You know what the youth have the better skills to grow up the country. So there should a law that youth also apply to go in the politics. Because they have better management skills, better knowledge, they have the power to take the unique decisions because their minds is working like that only.
There should also a retirement age for the politicians because after some time the age of the politicians is like on the way that their mind is not working properly to take the better decisions which is beneficial for the country or a particular region.
yes its right means age limit or retirement should be in politicians. because its require for country and chances given to the new youth people. if any new youth people come to the politicians then it will be done some new work and different work so the it may be possible so the changes occur in our country.
so age limit or retirement is necessary for any country. its good for any country.
New generation can be changes in politics according to our choices.
young people understand our responsibilities .
yes there should be age limit for politicians cause after 60 they can’t think in such effective way that a young man can think about any problem. We should not retire them after an age rather they should be put into opinion cell or suggestion group so that their experience can be taken in the way to get help.
Yes of course we should provide an age limit for politicians because as the human mind having capacity to build or delivered the opinion for different aspects in real life scenario.Every eligible candidate should have an opportunity to get involve in its national politics.And since the young people are more acceptable towards making decisions probably much calculative and they also preserves the Knowledge about current ongoing topics . So it concludes that they can apply much more effective towards social acceptance.
Although youngsters have lacking in experience with respect to politicians but it has to be undergo with the fact that we have all kind of generation in our living society ,so we should give more chance to young people to take part in building up our nations politics .
Everyone being able get connect with political activities going around us and take the more socially acceptable and its directions has to be given only by experienced politicians.
i emphasize on age limitation in politics because there is a age at which a person’s capability for thinking becomes so low that counteract on him for taking right decisions.if there will be persons in politics above than 60 then he will not be able to manage the nations..age limitations will give youth a chance to be a part of nation as well energetic and innovative ideas..age limit will provide chances for youth in employement..politician above than 60 should be replaced by yonug persons.it will decrease illliteracy,corruption,crimes like rape etc.and lead the nation in a managed way.as we all know politics is crucial part of the nation so this point should taken in account in all nations definetly.
We should have age limit for politician so that future of India can be build on YOUNG PILLARS but the root should be old and experienced…
so age limit should be such that experienced and naive people work together..
“AS IT IS SAID THAT OLD IS GOLD bt TO COPE UP WITH NEW RAISED CRISIS WE NEED YOUNG PILLARS”.
a good politician learn from his experience.more is experience of a politician and more is dedication towards works than more will be output .young have more energy and dedication then old . experience with young energy give better result.so political should be given chance up to they use their experience with young for country and after that they have to be retired.so there should not be any age limit only their work output decide their retirement .

Ya of course there must be a age limit for the retirement of politicians.
There can be various reasons , firstly the more young generation people will there ,the more will be new innovative ideas for the development of the country. Secondly according to the age many a politicians sitting on their seat just want a personal profit in the sake of the development of country.
Also the young generation people have their own strategy with a mixing of their new and old ideas of past politicians. Also young people look towards high education which make them feel what will be the beneficial things for the country’s bright future. if the age limit will not be restricted the country’s situation will be same as it is in present. mostly politicians of our country is in the age in which they must be retired 60+ through which we can conclude what is right or what is wrong.
So i highly opinionised there must be retired age n welcome to young politicians as they are more hardworking n efficient with the new concepts and strategies.

No,not at all..Politics is noway a job like others…and politians,I feel..are provided with the most important duty that anyone can have…they are people’s representatives..people choose them out of election process. They are Dutyful and responsible people…and have 1000 more qualities as a result of which they deserve a post such as these.
When it comes to ritirement,oh,come on..60+ – They are the people with treasure of experince..they have seen the world more than any intellect person form ‘youth’ group has possible have. They are too aware of the system and know how to deal with crisis,withoout those pressure on shoulders.They are provided with probably,the toughest job here..and still..they know how to keep up their calm.
They,in noway need to retire. With each such leader retiring,that would mean loss of wisdom.
And this in noway can be hold against youth of the country.C’mon,if they are worthy enough,they can find their places on their own.
Its like,after a particular age,we’ll be able to excel our own parents..Ah -Straight NO. And the same implies here as well.
Hope I’have cleared my pioint to everyone..!
In my point of view it is a social work and there is no age of doing the work for society. If someone is really dedicated to his responsibility towards society then, I wish they should never retire. its just the dediction of changing society to good way is important if any one have such qualitiess he/she should grant chance to do that for nation .
Positive thinging,no selfish motives,dedictions towards the nation responsibilities are main qualities and politican should have. On behalf of this only selction should be done ..
Yes there should be age limit to our politicians for retirement. As we are in developing country,so we need those persons as leaders who is capable to understand the new generations and is fast. As if youth will be as leader,then there will be safe responsibility on them and they can move towards new ideas. They themselves can work very fast and effectively. In this modern technology, we need a new ideas having leader, who can effectively give rise in every technical as well as every field. So GUUUYYYYSssssssssss really think upon it,if we want to develop,,then move ahead youth for the leadership and must limit the age or retirement age.
