Abstract Although politics seems to be the sole determinant of State existence, the current practice of politics in West Bengal is projecting a different reality from the societal perspective. However, involving youths in politics is essential or fruitful to produce aware citizens of the state and a better future for political management. The sociological concern of the study is analyzing the approach of a particular process, where youths are imbecile and shaped in favor of any particular political ideology. From the same phase of the development of self, the non-contaminate brain and intellectuality of such youths are manipulated through exerting ideological instrumentation by different political parties through the process of politicization. The notion of achieving power at any cost, irrespective of the conception of crime and violence, they imbibe through several processes that result in several forms of criminality by youth. At the same time, it is not any individual phenomenon, but a collective contextualization is significant. All inclusively, it encompasses collective performance. It expands falsified political consciousness among the youth. Such a condition demagnetizes them from other aspects of life and blurs the sight of the difference between politics and criminality. To conduct the study qualitative method has been used for collecting data. The snowball sampling method has been applied to select the respondents. Through the interview method and personal observation and experiences, detailed case studies have been used to analyze the data.
