note on vigilant voters of india
Answers
the schedule for the General elections-2009 has been declared. So, now it is the beginning of the battle for the throne. We have been continuously seeing the degradation of politics in India, since our independence in 1947. Most of us have also been complaining about the behavior of the politicians. We all are also worried about the problems like Corruption, Unemployment, Illiteracy, Increasing crime rate, Terrorism, Poverty and so on. The list just keeps growing. Many of us really want to do something to change this situation, but, can’t actually do anything, due to many different reasons.
We have heard this many times, that India is the biggest democracy in the world. But, is India also the strongest Democracy? My answer to this question is an absolute-‘NO’. What do we mean by Democracy? Abraham Lincoln had defined Democracy as the government-‘Of the People, By the People, For the People.’ Is it true for India? Is the Government here really working or even worried about the People? Millions of citizens are struggling everyday just to get food for survival. Thousands of youth are struggling just to get a job. Many of us are being killed everyday in terrorist and similar attacks. And all this has been going on since long. What have been the Governments doing? We just get the news of an ever increasing amount of corruption and decreasing standard of the politics in our Country.
