harshadod I find you contradicting yourself. Any way, those who do not vote are not necessarily the people who do not understand the importance of voting. The kids in private schools will have parents from middle class and upper middle class, they are literate , but...

vipinl There should be something to do with the people who don't vote rather than there kids.. who don't know about vote or its importance in democracy. Some kind of benefit for those who vote would be better policy then punishment to those who don't. Or better is...

harshadod Drops of water make an ocean. Each individual has to participate and create the wisdom of the crowd. All the evils which you speak of may not disappear but will probably have better checks and balances when we participate in democracy.

sudiptacallingu Just goes to show how we Indians are obsessed with beating round the bush rather than taking the bull by its horns. Not wanting to vote is rapidly spreading among the urban literate and working class for many reasons which I don’t think can be discussed here...
