To Vote Or Not To Vote
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Whenever elections are around the corner, we have articles in newspapers and television adverstiements exhorting us to vote and each time I'm in a dilemma. Should I vote or not ? Looking at the kind of candidates who stand for elections, I would rather not vote, and never vote ever again. (As far I remember from school, political candidates aren't supposed to have any sort of criminal records.) But then again, I do vote thinking that my vote will make a difference. So far I haven't come across any tangible difference. I don't like the fact that many political parties are based on a manifesto or come to power on the basis of their promises to uplift a certain community or certain religious identity. If you keep dividing between people, how can you rule effectively. Why do we need a party that is for Dalits, or a party that takes into consideration the interests of Muslims, or a party that is striving hard to safeguard Hindus. The main goal of governance is to make sure every citizen and his/her needs are looked after. That's what I feel. So the question of differences doesn't really arise. If you lay a road in a village, everyone is benefitted, not just one group of people.
Politics seems like a lot of murky business to me.
