    Political groups can form at educational institutions to discuss politics and current events. While this can help students become more informed citizens, it also carries risks. Some advantages are that political debates can enhance education and help students develop independent thinking rather than just accepting the views of administrators. However, many disadvantages exist. Political groups often prioritize recruiting members over addressing student issues and can create chaos that disrupts learning. They may also influence students based on attributes like caste or religion rather than issues. Overall, while limited political discussion can be positive, students' primary focus should remain on their education rather than political activities which can harm their studies.

    Principles of Sociology
    Topic: Advantages and Disadvantages of Political groups at educational
    institutions
    Political parties are groups of people who come together because they share a mutual vision for
    their community. These parties can form at local, regional, or national levels. Politics is a social
    science and its study through organized movements can create a sound administration. It’s not
    desirable to embargo politics altogether for students as it refutes them the fundamental
    opportunity of becoming a decent citizen to vote. It is entirely tyrannical to forbid a student a
    campus opportunity to talk, read, discuss or argue politically with his fellow students, subject
    undeniably to a peaceful atmosphere, disciplined behavior and conformity to public health and
    morality.
    A paradox concerning the relationship between education and political party preference has
    existed for many years in the literature on political socialization and voting behavior. Diversity
    in educational institutions has strong association with various political groups, as students spoil
    themselves in turbulence and vandalism. Insensitive politicians misuse these young people
    deliberately, knowing well that this is a crucial and vital time of their lives. But let us stop
    blaming our heartless leaders and keep things straight.
    Abstinence from politics results in lack of knowledge about what’s happening in the country.
    Students should be vigil about their country’s current affairs, which includes politics as well.
    Youngsters make up a massive proportion of the voting population. It’s important for them to
    have liberal knowledge about political concerns. They also have less understanding of
    government or democratic practices. Taking part in political groups enlightens them about
    these. Education can also be enhanced through political debates and free speech. If these are
    forbidden it leads to young minds being conditioned by the management politics instead of
    developing their own thinking. If we observe, these are some positive aspects of having political
    groups in an educational institution.
    The disadvantages of political groups in educational institutions are countless. Educational
    institutes have become advertisers for a certain political group within the campus and influence
    students through meetings and campaigns. Certain hostile groups battle within the campus and
    create chaos and making the process of learning impossible. Peace, health, morality and other
    values related to discipline are disturbed. For different political parties, these institutes are like
    training grounds for their real political life. The platforms are virtually similar to those of their
    national counterparts. They rarely raise issues of direct concern to students, like housing
    shortages and the food quality of cafeteria. Instead, just like national candidates they often urge
    students to vote for them on the basis of their caste or religion.
    Conclusively, the life of a student is a crucial stage of life in which students have to give more
    preference to their own education, than any other activities, their active involvement in the
    politics leads to damage of their own studies, which is far more necessary for them than any
    political concerns. For those who fall prey in the traps of these politicians are quite shrewd
    enough to fathom bad politics. They are quite aware of the fact of being taken advantage of. But
    what exactly is wrong with them? It’s either that they are negligent of the pros and cons or they
    are too pre-occupied with the notion of demonstrating their strength and connections.
