When control over money, muscle and caste groups is the sole determinant of success in a political set up, we cannot expect anything better. Can young India rise up to this challenge and provide an alternative? Can we put in place a set up where people go up the political ladder based on meritocracy, capability and integrity instead of dynastic and caste affiliations, money power and nepotism? Tejasvi Surya is a prominent youth leader, orator and writer from Bangalore. In 2001, at the young age of 11, Tejasvi Surya received the prestigious 'National Balashree Award' from the President of India. In 2008, he founded a youth powered NGO, Arise India, that now works in various areas including skill development, youth and women empowerment, and preservation of culture and heritage.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
