Meaning of Voting

It has been long time since i updated my blog. A lot of reason can be claimed like busy schedule, sporadic net connection, some unfavourable moments etc. 
        
  As the topic depicts that again i am in mood to fire diatribe against our so called resposible citizen of our society.Here i am not sharing an incident which is not a fiction.
         On 13th october which was an important day for Haryana because on that day state assembly election were scheduled to held. Everyone was agog and prescient for the new government. This year more people participated in voting but that does really have some meaning??
 
       On the same day when i was having lunch, i asked to one of our Mess-Worker that "Apne Vote Dala??"(Did you voted today??) and he with a grin smile replied "Humne to subah hi vote dal diya; Hum is me deri nahi karte."(we have voted in the morning and we dont like to delay in these matters).  Again when i asked about the party he supported(In our country party matters more than the candidate), he replied "Apni to congress hi h". Actually i didn't have any idea about the candidates so i asked the name of the candidate from congress and believe me he didn't have any idea about the candidate and more surprisingly he didn't have idea about the party symbol. He told me that "Apni to congress hi h so hame to Chate(Umbrella) par hi vote dala h" .

So the purpose of this blog is clear. By this incident you can understand the democratic system in India and what is the utility of voting when most of the people waste their power of voting by casting their vote to wrong candidate. Which part can be blamed ; either illiteracy or the influence of power and money on these innocent people.In our country worst thing is that we choose the party instead of the eligible candidate and we are following the trend of our ancestor to choose the party. We have the power and right to choose our candidate who can represent our country so why to waste our right.

     This article is just to share an incidence with you which seems harrowing for me and i wrote this article in hectic schedule and in exam time so there may be some mistakes in it. I really apologise for delay in posting and keep this blog inactive for a long time.
