Everyone is shouting around, go and vote.. Voting is your right, its your duty and blah blah! Gimme one good reason why should i vote?
Since i was a little kid, very little kid, i have been observing my parents religiously going to the polling booth on every voting day and voting for their fav candidate and showing off the voting mark on the finger with pride. But then so what?? What have they changed with their single vote? Same things are still happening in India.
People outside are calling us slumdogs and the government doesnt do anything to stop it
Terrorist attacks are still going on with the same frequency
If you are not rich, you still can not speak in this country
Your freedom of speech is compromised
People are so damn frustrated with the government that they leave no chance of throwing shoes at politicians
Damn!
If the voting in the past so many years didn't do anything good, how can you expect my one vote will help India?
Although there have been some very good initiatives to educate people about the people bidding for the post in every locality, but its not the Internet literate junta who decides the election decision. It is the poor folks in every locality who vote just on a symbol depending upon which symbol guy helped them off the records..
Anyone willing to provide me with one single reason to vote?

"People outside are calling us slumdogs and the government doesnt do anything to stop it" : yea, right, seems straight out of BJP manifesto. We should really send Hindu jihadis to catch hold of these outsiders and if anyone of them is a girl, slap/molest her in Times Square.
"People are so damn frustrated with the government that they leave no chance of throwing shoes at politicians" : if only these were people common junta but some Surd journalist seemingly acting on behest of Akali Dal and some BJP worker pissed of at not getting the party ticket don't really count, or do they??
Sad to see a (supposedly) well-read citizen so blatantly begging for a reason to carry out one of the most important duties. When your parents voted for their favorite (and hopefully the right) one in Delhi, didn't you notice the development in Delhi or were you blindfolded all these years or are you just one of those foul-mongers who should better work for Aaj Tak? Come and see other parts of 'real' India and you might realize how not voting for the right person is the root cause of all evils.
Go out and vote, would take not more than 1 hour of your time. May be skipping one of these blogging session of yours would compensate for that hour and no one would be hurt.
ur interest in ur country would change ur country for sure...!!!
though its slow... it matters definitely...
a citizen's right in Indian society is much powerful now in comparision wid what was like some 10years ago... just open ur eyes and think what past was like and what we are now... n wat v vil be in future!
i agree u ve inumerable complaints with the current Govt! there is for sure improvement!!!
It pretty simple.
These thing will go on continue forever, If u don't vote.And please don't spread the wrong message across even if one person is affected after reading ur blog , its really SAD.

What you are asking is a very valid question. But democracy, is unfortunately, the best system available to govern ourselves right now. If we lose this, we might go back to dictatorship, communist or some other system which is far worser!
Vote for the hope of a better tomorrow... hope is a good thing..
