An Idiot Indian

Why Do we Vote ? Is it for Time Pass ? or Is it in our Habit ? or Do we Vote because its another holiday declared sometimes by the respective governments (State or Centre).

Or we vote every Five years to remind us that we are returning a favour of being an Indian. Or we vote because we get free liquor, Quilt, Saree, Mobile or even the money, or we as a community vote to get favours later.

And if at all, we vote expecting a change, or for the development of our country, then there is no greater Idiot than us, We the people of India, who has been voting for last 65 yrs.

In the last 10 to 15 years or may be more, in a hope for better government, how your Life has changed ? or how the corruption has been tackled ? How many promises were fulfilled as per party manifestos ?

Have you ever tried to count on those? have you even, or ever thought about this? I wonder what's your answer?

Year after Year, the politicians have whipped us with their misdeeds, and most of us just watch the flogging like a mute spectator. If we didn't wake up by these coming elections, then we all have no right to crib about the happenings in the country, its much better that we remain indoors sitting nicely on our couch potato and wonder how we can be corrupt too.

Remember it’s not mandatory or a custom to vote for a particular party, it’s not even a family tradition to vote for a particular party but casting a vote is entirely our own personal matter on which our future is dependent.

If it’s not party then it’s Religion, if it’s not religion then its Caste, till how long we so called educated brilliant minds can endorse such nonsense? By standing on the streets / locality / parks or your home, commenting and abusing the system or the government is easy but before doing that hurl one or two comments or abuse at yourself too, because we are directly responsible for the mess that we see around in the present political system. We ourselves are corrupt. No .. No .. don't shy away, we are corrupt or otherwise they (the politicians) would not be corrupt too.

These politicians have understood one thing very easily and that is … We the people of India are very tolerant, they are divided on the religion and cast lines and above all they are very thick skinned and their memories are very short and faded. The politician knows our pulse like any good doctor, and they prescribe us a right treatment, and we deserve that treatment that they are meeting us out to.

We are to be blamed for this agony that we are personally going through and put the Nation to it also. So, when next time you go out for voting, keep the above in mind and vote for the issues that you really feel for and not which are the favorite of front benchers. Press the voting button only if you see the following:

1) Provide Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation

2) Provide for basic Health amenities

3) Provide for quality Education for the children of the country

4) Provide basic social security to the family members, the people of the

    Country 

5) Lets us Live with Pride and Honor in the country

6) Truly make us feel Proud to be an Indian

7) Provide all round development of Infrastructural facilities

8) Provide Employment opportunities to the lowest level

9) Provide for better agricultural revolution like white revolution (Amul)

Once this is kept in mind, then nothing can affect us on the lines of whether its Religion / Caste or a Party.

This “An Idiot Indian” will be talking and writing about issues related to common man regularly on different forums, which he feels from the bottom of his heart. 

If you like this Idiot’s rumblings then keep reading or you have the RIGHT to discard me like any of your votes of the past, not on the streets but in a dustbin.

Like any of You
