Dear Surya, In my considered opinion the election is not going to throw up good people, pro-people leaders. Most of them will be ruffians of first order. Criminals are spitting venoms against each other in a stage managed drama and they will not be fixed for their utterances and deeds by the great law keeping institutions of the land. So they are not only going scot-free but also will be a part of the Govt. Such double standards in the public domain is undoubtedly not an acceptable feature of democracy. So called 'Democracy' is going to cross all the limits set by the previous elections. Also why and how you and others like you or me are not contesting the elections. Because it is limited democracy of Moneyed people who control all the wings of the Govt., the Mafias, the criminal gangs and the Natural Resources. For a confirmation just look around wherever you are and not more than 5 minutes will tell you where this election will lead us to. You will not see a tinge of Transparent elections.
For myself, "no voting" stands because I do not think a sensible person should commit himself to a farce of democracy which is trumpted by both the Audio and Visual Media day in and day out. Because they are the Moneywalas or their Front organisations- commited to keep this farcical democracy alive and to continue with the loot. If somebody is interested in fulfilling the call of democracy Rule 49-O "I vote Nobody" is the alternative. vns 2009/4/12 Suryanarayana <[email protected]> > > Dear IITians, > > Thanks for your encouragement Mr Y C Zala, Dr VN Sharma, Amitabh Thakur > > Dear Ashok Kalbag, > > Thanks for your encouragement. > > Congratulations on your commendable effort to make people vote. if they > done go to vote, poor teachers or govt employees who monitor polling booths > on fear of transfer etc have to give in to pressures, > > if 30% voting takes place > they manage to see that voting percentage does not go up to 65% plus etc > which can raise an alarm > > was able to make small dent with these suggestions > > video surveillance at booths.. or if that is costly webcams with internet > connections can help and a counting system which displays number of votes > polled in booths in real time > > *** > > please give your valuable suggestions > > surya > > ProIIT > > R Suryanarayana (IIT Madras), MS(USA) > R Prasad (IIT Delhi) > R Srinivas (IIT Kharagpur) > > > > > > > -- "Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act."
