This one was fun! Never thought I would run around for days to get a voter's ID.
Old guy Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 i think you people do not understand that educated people like us are in minority and students in your private college or school are also minority and even majority of people i know of my age who voted have absolutely no idea about policies and voted because of tied they or some they know had .
SLICKR392 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 people are more involved not aware ..lets not mix that up also you are not aware how majority of population here votes and their reasons do you think they do research about policies being planned to implement and how it will effect them? they jsut vote for reasons i better not discuss here :P No, people are more aware now. That' a fact! And you aren't even aware how many turned up to vote and you come to this conclusion that people vote without realizing. Now how's that?
SLICKR392 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 i think you people do not understand that educated people like us are in minority and students in your private college or school are also minority and even majority of people i know of my age who voted have absolutely no idea about policies and voted because of tied they or some they know had . Sorry, but people I know of my age are very much connected with the current affairs and are very much aware of whom and what they are voting. We have been following this for a while, FYI.
Old guy Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Sorry' date=' but people I know of my age are very much connected with the current affairs and are very much aware of whom and what they are voting.

SLICKR392 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 again does not matter its very small minorty even i have been following my regional candidates and none of them are worth my vote that was my conclusion and before calling me lazy i went there to drive off my mom so she can vote i jsut chose not to in democracy we also have option of not voting for a reason No one disagrees with the NOTA. But you are coming up with a logic that says people vote without any reason or awareness.
Old guy Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 No one disagrees with the NOTA. But you are coming up with a logic that says people vote without any reason or awareness. that is true and it happens in every democracy people vote for stupid reasons in our country they vote for reasons not concerned with policies at all and what you or your educated friends do who are well off does not changes what majority does not to mention the group you have is rare and twitter feed will obviously have youngster do you expect people to say i did not vote ? if you do you get reactions like this people ready to judge and give long speech about how its important without realizing the other person is not dumb. elections and voting has its pros one of the biggest pro imo is this sense of unity and this for a breif period people feel something about nation but over all as a whole process its insignificant for single person i already wrote why.. and even if you disagree you jut cannot ignore the fact that majority of people have no clue while voting and vote for sake of voting which is much worse than not voting at all
someone Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 SUHEL SETH @suhelseth Please vote for Smriti Irani and fulfil Rahul's dreams of empowering women! :hysterical:
Old guy Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 No, people are more aware now. That' a fact! And you aren't even aware how many turned up to vote and you come to this conclusion that people vote without realizing. Now how's that? dude aware and participation are two different things!

Number Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Typical Bhakt mentality - Speak against BJP/Modi => 1. rooting for Congress, Lalu, SP. Team B of congress. 2. Anti-national. Pakistani agent. What a delusional bunch. Well youn know that tweet was for Gandhis hence the response. Anyways, you may not be but a lot of AAP supporters who want corruption-free India are cheering Lalu's comeback. irony!
Number Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Good description of Kejriwal :--D A streakers club president who got a chance to bat at local match, ran away because bowlers were too fast to handle for him. Then, goes to national selectors asking to select him over a Ranji captain of 12 years exp. and good record, because he says his technique is not right.
