MY FIRST ELECTION AS A VOTER

LOKSABHA ELECTION

2019

SO THE ELECTION SEASON IS NEARBY AND JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN 100 DAYS ARE LEFT IN THE LOKSABHA ELECTION 2019. AS A YOUNGSTER AND A PROUD CITIZEN OF THIS BEAUTIFUL AND THE MOST TRANSPARENT DEMOCRACY I AM VERY MUCH EXCITED TO VOTE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. 

SPECIAL POWER

I FEEL LIKE HAVING A SPECIAL POWER THROUGH WHICH I CAN DECIDE THE FUTURE OF MY COUNTRY. JUST LIKE ME INDIA HAVE AROUND 85 CRORES OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME SPECIAL POWER. ISN'T IT AN EXCEPTIONAL THING IF WE COMPARE TO MOST COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE ?

BIG QUESTIONS

ARE WE USING IT ?

ARE WE UNBIASED ?

FACT SHOWS THAT WE ARE NOT USING THIS SPECIAL POWER OF VOTING EFFECTIVELY. IN 2014 THE AVERAGE VOTING TURNOUT IN INDIA WAS JUST 66% WHICH WAS ALL TIME HIGHEST THAT MEANS 1/3 OF INDIAN VOTERS DID NOT CARE TO DECIDE THE FATE OF THE COUNTRY WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE 66% VOTERS. THE VOTERS ARE MAINLY DIVIDED AMONG CASTES AND RELIGION DUE TO WHICH THE CASTE/RELIGION BASED POLITICS ARISES. THE IMPORTANT FACTORS LIKE DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION, INFRASTRUCTURE ETC ARE NEGLECTED. THIS STOPS US FROM BEING A DEVELOPED NATION. WHILE VOTING WE NEED TO BE UNBIASED AND VOTE FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL IDEOLOGY OF THE CANDIDATE RATHER THAN THE CAST BASED IDEOLOGY. 

CAST YOUR VOTE BUT DONT VOTE YOUR CASTE !!!!!!!
