This study is able to take a look at the critical analysis of a changing role of youth in Indian politics based on its historical background and current styles of participations and the structural problems with which they are facing. Having played a central role in the freedom struggle, Indian youth have remained active in their abilities to catalyze political change through events such as most recent digital and issue-based mobilizations. Nevertheless, their representation in the conventional political bodies has been minimal, and the reason is attributed to obstacles like dynastic politics, civic education shortcoming, financial constraints, and non-representation. Although the digital platforms have brought possible mass activism by the youth, lack of a matching offline representation threatens to make them mere symbolic actions. Integration of youngsters has been tried to be undertaken by the government schemes and the structure of political parties in the country yet they are not usually profound and implemented. The researchers advocate system upgrading to change youth into powerful democratic leaders by means of political education, leadership development courses and opening up policy-making to the youth
