18, mere an age after which we get access to many condemned things of life .Laws have been made but to unfollow. Many things can be brought under limelight regarding this age, which is being ignored from quite a long time.
After 18 we have the power to vote in our country, to get into some delicate matters, to watch repressive stuffs.
Although in reality, much before 18 people get access to those obscene things and develop immature thoughts. We go for an adult movie, on the back of the ticket it’s printed “above 18 only” but I haven’t seen any cinema check if a person is above 18 or not.
In fact I would tell my experience, we went to watch a movie "Peepli Live", an adult movie and along with us there were kids too around the age of 12-14 who enjoyed the movie without any ifs or buts.
Regarding what not to do, we do it, but if we consider the things which we must do after 18 like voting, hardly anyone thinks of voting as they attain the age of 18.
The level of sourness regarding voting once in an election is very less as compared to consuming alcohols, intake of tobacco, accessing porn sites and stuffs like this regularly.
See the most disappointing point, if a responsible person wants to vote before 18, anyhow he wouldn’t be allowed, although if he uses any wrong means, that’s a different thing.
But, if we consider those unwieldy things there is NO restriction despite having restriction.
But the point is why we are more into those repressive stuffs before 18 and not voting at 18.The reason may be simple but why?
The obvious reason may be the level of interest.
Another disappointing phenomena is a child girl marriage. But, now also in many minute areas in the country people marry a girl who has not even attained the age of majority but the government servants still sleeps at that moment.
It’s human nature, if a person is having profit and pleasure in doing something illegal then obviously they will do it because they know the further circumstances that nothing will happen but from the day when government starts taking serious actions regarding all this, they will certainly think thrice before going beyond boundaries . It’s unfortunate to see the government unreachable to those regions of the country.
A vital element regarding this age limit is the intake of tobacco among the youth who have not attained the maturity level and yet they smoke as if it’s their basic necessity sometimes more important than drinking water.
The law in India about smoking is that merchants are allowed to sell cigarettes only among 18+ but they hardly bother to see to whom they are showing the way to hell in front of few money which ties a knot on their eyes.
The Government has set an age of majority i.e.18 and made laws on it but the level of strictness, we all are seeing. If today they took up all this seriously, then surely we can help the country cope with some of the key issues unnoticed at present.
And we the people of the country itself vote to make a government, so it’s the duty of each individual to have a positive approach with respect to the occurrences all around.
