Indian_Election

ARE INDIAN ELECTION FARCE' The election dynamics in India work in a very strange way .One percent swing of the electorate could earn them up to ten seats' So, every vote counts. The election commission says that only 75% of the electorate cast their votes –wouldn’t that absentee 25% mean a swing of over a hundred seats' The commission prepares a list called ‘’voters list’’ for every consistency .This is considered a very sacred document like it is equivalent to the HOLY BIBLE! If our name is not in the list, we are a nobody. To be more blunt, we are not an Indian at all! So sacrosanct the darned list is. How accurate the voter list is' Very inaccurate .Dead person’s name, names of people who have changed their resistance of people who have gone on transfer to another consistency appear there. When we leave our rented house, we think in terms of changing our gas connection electricity connection, ration card, telephone connection and so many other things but no one ever thinks of informing the election commission about the change of address so, where is the accuracy of this so called sacred list' And changes take place routinely almost daily. With so many imperfections in our electoral list, we boost to the world that we are the greatest democracy in the world and we had carried out a monumental election so successfully. I would personally recommend that we go in for an all purpose electronic smart card which may contain all our personal information other than our residential address and which record details of our participation in various elections and we should be permitted to vote from any place in India and in any consistency .The central government said in 2010 that they are preparing an unique identity card for every individual where is it.'will it take twenty years to complete and provide it to evry individual. The country desperately needs some young leaders who personify energy, enthusiasm, morality, and diligence. No doubt we have progressed a lot in last 62 years but the development pace would have been completely different had some young torchbearers led this process of development. Two reasons for deplorable scene of Indian politics are-The youth today are not interested in actively participating in the political field. Young people are not given opportunities to prove themselves claiming that they are not equipped with experience to participate actively in the governance of the country. We can just wish that the next time we go to vote we find more names of youngsters who can make our country a better place to live in .Young politicians just not offer the best hope for India’s political future but are the one’s whom we look upto for a full fledged India. To conclude with what Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said,’’ If India is to become by 2020,it will do so only by riding on the shoulders of the young.
