LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Its time that each Indian wakes up and sees around and makes the use of his/ her every right and does something for the country and pay it back for everything it has given you. Every breath of freedom we breathe and every sense of security we feel.

Let us all make an effort to make a difference in our country in our own small way and we will succeed. And the first thing we start from is VOTING. Choose the right people. Last thing any Indian would want is the Gawalis (an underworld group) in the parliament BUT they are there and why are they there, we need to ask a question to ourselves.

Ask this question to yourself, did you cast your vote?

Many of us don’t want to vote. They feel No use voting, makes no difference but if you don’t wont vote how will it make a difference. Just like you how many more people believe in the same and wont vote? Every vote counts.

When I asked one of my friends have you applied for your election card, he said that he didn’t want one. Without an election card you can’t vote. I can’t vote but I request every Indian out there stand up for your right and use it for your own good. Educate the masses.

One person I know of a woman who runs a project called Hope for the Hopeless. She is a 64 year old who educates slum children who will one day become responsible citizens like you and me and may be will vote for the right people.

Let us use our intelligence for the good of our nation than for trying to save on taxes and bribing the government clerks.

i completely agree with you about voting, everyone should exercise their voting right. however i have one point regarding the process of election. the process of choosing the winner in an election is debatable in our country.

Lets assume that there are 100 people in a constituency and like you want, all 100 people vote. Suppose for the post of MLA in the constituency, four contestants contest in the election. Each get a vote share of 40, 30, 20 and 10 respectively of the total 100. As per our system, the winner is the one who has got 40 votes. But if you see there is 60 people who didnt want him to be the leader.

our election system still declares the 40-voter to be the winner. there is a larger percentage of people who voted against the winner, but the person still becomes the leader for all 100.

this is a major flaw in deciding the winner in our election system. the election commission should address this flaw by imposing the following: winner is one who gets maximum number of votes and votes should be more than the sum of all his fellow contestants excluding the number of non-voters.

By addressing this flaw, we will get representatives who represent a majority of the people and the representatives will try to keep the non-voters percentage minimum. indirectly this will also definitely remove the case of Gawalis and Goonda's winning the election.
