Here’s what young Indians really want from life

Urvashi Kapila, 19, a college student, poses for a picture at her college campus in New Delhi March 7, 2014. Urvashi, who will be voting for the first time in the upcoming general elections, said the elections will witness the largest youth participation to date and will herald a new kind of politics which she hopes would be a more transparent government. She is among more than 100 million registered new voters, who will cast their ballots when the world's biggest democracy holds a general election that will run from April 7 to May 12.
