Significance of Elections

I don t know what the significance of an election is especially in a corrupt country like India. But i m proud to be an indian just because its my home country and his rich cultural heritage and history. In my opinion every one should cast their votes as they are given the rights. We should make sure that we at least know who is ruling the constituency or state.

For me the recent election was an eye opener. My neighbour Moorthy uncle was denied his right to vote. His name was missing in the voter's list. He is a senior citizen and has been voting for the past 45 years. Imagine what he might have felt when his voting right was taken away by the negligence of the authorities. Even this mistake shows how big corruption in this country is. The LTTE was formed because the tamilians were deprived of their voting rights. This situation is grave. what is the use of democracy when one is deprived of his or her voting rights?. Cine actor dileep fumed when he noticed that his and his family member's name were missing from the voter's list. Its a situation of utter negligence and cannot be tolerated especially when the political parties are showing intolerable behaviour in the name of bandh and hartal. Only in India can you see a politician like Shashi Tharoor being maligned without ample proof while hundreds of other politicians walk scot-free after being involved in bigger scams. Tharoor had occupied under secretary general post in the UN and had left UN because he felt indians were not treated properly in the UN. So he came back to his homeland where he is being treated even more shabbily. These pathetic conditions can be seen only in India and nowhere else.Corruption is not going to end in a single day unless we the citizens try to involve in politics. Its what democracy is for and every one are entitled for their rights to think logically and elect the right candidates . Its time for every one to put the country before any party ....
