Responsibilities of the Youth Unit 1 English Notes for KPK

Q.1) Why does the Quaid stress on youth to be continuously vigilant?

Answer:
Quaid stresses on youth to be continuously vigilant because he believes that after getting freedom great responsibility rests on the shoulders of youth. In order to fight against the challenges of within and foreign enemies, the youth must be vigilant and beware all the times. Keeping in view such unfavourable circumstances, the youth need to be more vigilant and alert to overcome the difficulties and to stop our enemies from causing damage to the image of the newly established state of Pakistan.

Q.2) What, according to the Quaid, is the prime responsibility of youth?

Answer:
According to the Quaid, the prime responsibility of the youth is to pay attention to their studies and to equip themselves with higher education to serve their nation in a much better way. He says that they must have a constructive spirit. Quaid gives the advice to the youth that their main occupation should be fairness to yourselves, your parents and definitely fairness to the State. He says that the youth must prepare themselves for the upcoming battle of life that lies ahead of them. Quaid has a firm belief that youth can only be a source of pride and strength to the nation only if they follow his advice with honesty and sincerity.

Q.3) Having read the text of the Quaid’s speech, what traits of character the Quaid wants to see in the educated youth?

Answer:
High moral standards, constructive spirit, fairness to self, parents and State, discipline, strong will-power, seriousness, integrity, truthfulness, and unselfishness are the character traits that the Quaid wants to see in the educated youth of the newly established state of Pakistan.

Q.4) What advice does the Quaid give to the youth about the choice of career? 

Answer:
The Quaid gives advice to the youth regarding the choice of career by saying that they must not run after getting government jobs after completion of their degrees. He tells them clearly that though government service seems quite attractive but most of the government servants live a miserable life. He advices them to divert their attention, aims and goals to other channels, fields and avenues that would provide them more opportunities to excel in life.

Furthermore, he says that there is an immense scope in technical education so youth should move towards getting it. He believes that as new industries are setting up, new banks, new insurance companies, and new commercial firms are establishing so if the youth is well-equipped with technical education they would have a wide spectrum of job to choose from. He motivates youth towards doing manual work and labour and tells them that they must not feel ashamed while doing such menial work.

Q.5) Compare and contrast the youth of today with ideal youth of Quaid-e-Azam in his speech.

Answer:
Today’s youth is quite different from the ideal youth of Quaid-e-Azam. Lack of ethics, low moral values, dishonesty, attitude problem, poor work ethic, more inclination towards fashion trends and excessive use of social media are some of the things that are of great concern with respect to the modern youth of Pakistan. The youth of present times, also take less interest in their studies and show a lack of regard for the elderly people. On the other hand, while talking about ideal youth in his speech, the Quaid says that they should be honest, hard-working, truthful, fearless, disciplined, and serious in their approach towards education.

Q.6) Having read the text of ‘Responsibilities of Youth’, what, in your view could be the possible role of youth in crisis management of the country?

Answer:
The youth of any nation is basically its pride and strength only if they are on the right path. The youth can play its constructive role in crisis management if they are well-educated, well-trained, technically sound, hard-working, and sincere. The youth has all the vigour, intellect, courage, and strength that are needed to resolve any issue or to overcome any difficult situation. Being a larger part of the society, they can help the nation stand on firm grounds by becoming the right hand of government under any crisis situation.  

Q.7) Quaid says “Not only has Pakistan survived the shock of that upheaval then ever.” Which upheaval is he talking about?

Answer:
In this statement, Quaid is talking about the upheaval of the Punjab and Delhi holocaust. In that holocaust, thousand of people including men, women and even children were butchered mercilessly and millions were forced to leave their ancestral homes thus becoming desperate, homeless souls. They then migrated to the newly established state creating a very difficult situation for Pakistan. The enemy of Pakistan tried its best to weaken it but the newly emerged state of Pakistan successfully survived the shock of this upheaval.

Q.8) Interpret and analyze the following statements from the speech:

a. “beware of the fifth columnist among ourselves.”
b. “guard against and weed out selfish who only wish to exploit you so that they may swim.”
c. “Hitherto, you have been following the rut… . All you think and hanker for is government service… . Now I want you to get out of that rut and that mentality especially now that we are in free Pakistan. “

He congratulates all the students and says that now you are entering into the practical life of life so you should understand your responsibilities well.

The Quaid says that we have broken the shackles of slavery and now are a free state but this does not mean that you start behaving according to your own will. He says that the youth should have constructive spirit and vigour to serve the nation and they must show fairness to themselves, their parents, and state.

He says that our enemy India has used every means to create problems for Pakistan and to weaken it as it has withheld our cash balances and our share in military equipment.

Quaid advises the students to pay full attention to their studies and they must not run after getting government jobs.
