Perceptions about politics can be deeply ingrained from a young age, making them significantly challenging to alter [00:01:56].
Ingrained Negative Perceptions
For many, especially those who grew up in backgrounds like a South Indian middle-class family, the idea that “politics is a dirty place” is communicated from childhood [00:01:49]. This particular perspective becomes so “ingrained in our psyche” that changing it poses a “very difficult” challenge [00:01:59].
The Role of Individuals in Politics
To improve the public perception of politics, there is a sentiment that “good people should keep coming in politics” [00:00:53]. These individuals are expected to enter with a “mission” rather than with “ambition” [00:00:56]. It is also suggested that if a youth today aims to become a politician, they should possess certain talents [00:00:46].
