The great dance of the Indian democracy is drawing to its climax. The general elections are always exciting and full of drama. This time was no different, the incessant mud slinging, changing partners and meaningless cacophony littered among some important issues. The election process ends mid may.
I voted; but where was the rest of Mumbai? It is appalling that only 44% of the electorate exercised their vote. This is not very different from the last time, but the environment has changed dramatically. Mumbai was hit badly and one expected a stronger reaction from the citizens. A lot of anger was vent during the rally at Gateway post the terrorist attack, but heck the attitude has not changed. It makes me wonder that if this does not change us, then what will?
We face adversary with our chin up, but we missed an opportunity to be the change. No matter what the reason for not voting, the black dot on the finger is far more important.
