In this thought-provoking speech hosted by Dinamalar, Advocate Priyadharshni Rahul challenges the common perception that politics is an "unprofessional" or "dirty" field. She argues that the entry of professionals—doctors, lawyers, engineers, and skilled analysts—is essential to bring structured timelines and accountability to governance. Priyadharshni defines three types of professionals needed: those with specialized degrees, those with high-level skill sets in communication and technology, and "Nation-First" professionals dedicated solely to the progress of the country.
Tracing India’s political history, she reminds the audience that the nation’s founders—Gandhi, Nehru, and Ambedkar—were all professionals who used their expertise for the common good. She contrasts this with the subsequent era of nepotism and family-centric politics that discouraged the common person from engaging. However, she warns that the current digital age poses a new threat: "Robotic Decision Making." With 34% of votes now influenced by social media reels rather than personal research, she urges the youth to stop being passive consumers and start being active researchers of history and policy.
Priyadharshni shares her personal journey from NCC and Scouts & Guides to the Supreme Court, highlighting how discipline and patriotism were instilled in her early on. She calls for a "revolution" where women and youth don't just wait for positions but step into service. She concludes with powerful examples of trans-party cooperation for national security, such as the Pokhran project, urging the next generation to reclaim their democratic rights with integrity and awareness.
