If we went by your interpretation of Vanavasa, India would have not had two of it's best PMs- Vajpayee and Narasimha Rao. And if we just plump for any youth like Rahul-babu, then god save India. Indian men get wise very late, unlike western counterparts by the time they are out of parents' shadows and start life on their own they have lost at least 20 years. And besides performance not age should be the criteria be it films, Sports and especially politics- where wisdom counts above all.
