Friends, we, the young, educated and enlightened section of this country have to accept the responsibility of taking out our country from the clutches of miopic, greedy and unethical politicians. There are many evils in our society, however, the source of the greatest strength is still available to us. Despite it's shortcomings, the right to elect our representative is alive and kicking in this country. We MUST, SIMPLY MUST take advantage of this opportunity and ensure that incompetent people do not get a chance to rule us.
The glaring example is Arjun Singh, an epitome of "greedy to the core" mentality. How is it possible that this man was voted to be a minister? It would not have been possible had we judiciously used our franchise. We need to look back at such evidences and figure out a methodology to eliminate these mistakes in future.
I appeal to the educated masses of India, Voting is not only your democratic right, IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
Not voting should be treated as a crime. It should be considered as Socially taboo and disrespectful. Only then our "happy-go-lucky" gen-x youth will take it seriously.
