Importance of Civic Education for Students

Hello. Nowadays, on social media, it sometimes feels like the real issue gets

left behind and there is more noise.

If we really care about the students,

then the conversation should be about their future, about their stress,

and about what they and their families are going through.

Asking questions is every citizen's right, but abusing a leader or calling

them names is not a solution, nor is it maturity.

And another thing, the word' dictatorship' is being used very casually.

Democracy does not just mean freedom of speech, democracy means freedom of

speech along with responsibility.

Dictatorship is where

speaking against the government is not even possible or you have to pay a very heavy

price for it.

Therefore, calling anything a

dictatorship right away is not right. Words also have weight.

We can all have our own opinions, You can also question the government,

and when good work is done,

giving credit is equally important. That is the beauty of democracy.

Real courage is not in trending hashtags, but in sticking to the real issue.

Talk about the students' future, question the system, by all means,

but maintain the dignity of words, the responsibility of truth,

and the democratic values of the country— respect all three.

And a humble request to parents,

teach your children not just academics, but civics as well.

Explain to them the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Along with freedom of speech, explain the responsibility of speech,

and I teach my son the same.

Turning every opinion into an abuse or saying anything just to look cool is

not maturity.

The truly cool person is the one who knows the facts and speaks thoughtfully,

Who respects others and also respects the democratic values of

their country. Jai Hind.
