		<description>Hi George!
I did not know that my post would create such a response. The first thing that I would like to point out is that- The day, you will start thinking of yourself as an Indian as opposed to a minority, you will be able to defend yourself. It is the petty regional and religious politics that makes sure India remains divided. And it is the YOUTH who needs to stand up. Not our parents... not the generation before us... but US, who needs to stand up and tell the Politicians- You guys better put your act together. 
If you think that change will come in a jiffy then you are wrong. Because- Change is a slow process and one right vote can make a difference. And small steps- do make a big difference.
Case in Example- Delhi. Sheila Dixit has been the CM of Delhi for 10 years and in the elections few months back, she got back her post, because she has worked for the development. 
Development= Better living standards= More educated India= Choosing the right candidate to vote.
Media, has become a beautiful tool for the Masses to put down their protest. This has been possible because of the policies that have been formulated by the Govt.

And- There are not only the candidates of the National Parties, but also other parties and Independent candidates who are worth the vote... So vote for them. 
In our Democracy- If you make ANYONE win from a constituency- he becomes your representative in Lok Sabha. So if it is a sensible person who is educated- You should try hard to make him win, so that he can actually make a difference.

One more factor that comes into play in the Indian democracy is - The Villages. If you watch Hindi TV serials- there are two serials you should go check out- Balika Vadhu and Laado, both on colors. What they have depicted is the truth, that in the villages, even today- It is very difficult for them to think beyond anything else but the silly traditions that they are not letting go. Despite everything, they do play an important part in deciding the government of our country. Therefore- WE need politicians who start the change at the grass root level- and Sachin Pilot, Rahul Gandhi and the younger lot are doing just that.

Mayawati for PM is a terrible nightmare. So, vote against her. 
BUT PLEASE VOTE.

Change will come, but if the Youth of the country starts thinking like you... then how will it come??
If the Youth stands united- and decides that its time for a change... No One can stop that. We made sure- That Jessica Lal&#039;s murderers be put behind the bars... we are fighting for Kachroo... because we have realised that its better to fight for a real cause rather than for wasted political causes.

Time for the Youth to think beyond being Hindu, Christian, Sikh... and to Think like an India for India. If you say that its not a free India, then lets fight to get its rightful freedom back.

Now, I hope that You vote.</description>

		<description>im 22yrs old makes me like the rest of u eligible to vote.Was watching NDTV and saw this small documentary,ya with 200million youngsters out there India is a young nation.yes we are,few of my fellow brothers and sisters were saying that i cant complain if i haven&#039;t voted.OK, i will vote but tell me ,WHO IS WORTH MY VOTE??I am a catholic a christian, now that makes me a minority in this country.ppl of my faith have time and time again been shot,killed,and raped.
WE Have a elected government tht did do a bloody thing abt it.Folks a NUN got raped!!!A NUN.
and on the opposite side u got HINDUTVA ....the party that wants to ethnically cleanse this nation of Christians and Muslims-minorities basically....(wonder wht after tht!!).........AND YOU WANT ME TO BLOODY VOTE!!!

MUMBAI-our police WWII enfield guns versus kasab&#039;s team of mercenaries  who have automatic ak47 nd etc.......WOW SO MUCH FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORCES.....U WANT ME TO VOTE!!!

MANGALORE-Under muthalik, goodas enter pubs and beat up GALS LIKE THEY ARE DONKEYS.
WOW SO MUCH FOR  PROTECTING OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS.those guys got out in 6hrs.....

Today India is one of the worlds top 3 countries in buying  foreign defense equipments.our own govt and the military wont accept and will happily refuse ,disqualify and refute MADE IN INDIA military equipments.unless they do it with Russia or the us etc.
AND YOU want me to vote!!!

ppl these are facts HARD,RAW AND STONE COLD.
WE HAVE TO DECIDE KEEPING FACTS IN MIND AND NOT JAAGO RAE .COM-UR SLEEPING IF UR NOT VOTING.
Got nothing worth voting for!!!
sadly.and NON OF OUR YOUTH WHO ASPIRE TO MAKE IT BIG WANT TO ENTER POLITICS!!!OKAY some are in!!!SOME, NOT MAJORITY!!!!.
MY BASIC RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED ,AND NO ONE TO QUESTION THE ONES WHO HAVE WRONGED ME AND THE ONES THAT HAVE WRONGED YOU TOO.

okay okay no country is perfect.....not this one anyway....I AM ,SO ARE A LOT OF YOU OUT THERE are fooled by this illusion of freedom.

and yes you have a list of self made DON Corleone&#039;s out there who think they can do as they like cause the laws, penal code are ON SALE IN THIS COUNTRY-TRUST ME, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER IN THIS COUNTRY.
&quot;NARENDRA MODI&quot; DID and so did all the other folks behind the riots of long ago...
AND YOU AT JAAGO RAE .COM WANT YOUTH LIKE ME TO VOTE!!!!
HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Ofcourse then how can we change this system.a democratic system based on the challenges facing the new india and the appropriate leaders to do it aswell ,educated and young those who feel and know whats it like to be a young indian.not freaking old grandfathers who because they took a snap with the mahatma think they should be the next PM!!

The truth is we are following a system thats democratic on paper and which is old.this country has come far,the people have changed except those who are brain washed and the once who are fooled by this illusion of freedom.
we need our own BARAK OBAMA.NOT MAYAVATY.



I CANT TRUST THE DEMOCRACY OF THIS SYSTEM
I CANT TRUST THE FREEDOM PROMISED BY THIS SYSTEM,
BECAUSE YOU CANT TRUST FREEDOM WHEN ITS NOT IN YOUR HANDS.
