Are we helpless?

After Delhi incident - I felt helpless. I am worried not only about my two daughters but about myself too. Who will save me and my family from 3 important evils threatening my survival every day.

1. Terrorism
2. Corruption
3. Safety - Particularly Women Safety 

Everytime something happens we get into hyper-active mode and get back to same normal cozy (?) life.
Remember our response on IAC (Anna H movement), Jessica Lal case verdict, Nitish Katara verdict,

Will we do the same thing this time too. Can we sit idle after we are done with protest and candle light vigil. 

 

India - Please wake up. Dont speak up for few moments and go silent again like a coma patient. It is a long battle and it will take more than speding 2-3 days at Jantar Manter or India Gate.

 

We can make your small contribution by pledging that we will VOTE this time. Will it solve the issue - definitley not !!!!! But it will make our voice heard as it will threaten the survival of political class.

 

One can argue that we don't have choice, this is because we have never created choices. Currently political class doesnot think that we middle class exist. and funnily we really dont exist for them as we DON'T vote.

 

Please create choices by voting. Its classical chicken-egg problem. Please dont remain trapped in that.

 

We can do any amount of protest and the political class will NOT bother till the time we dont threat their existence by showing them our votes matter.

 

Look at the events:
- Nov 2008  - Attack on Mumbai - We got agitated. We had our share of agony.
- May 2009  - General election - voting percentage
- Mumbai     - 46-47%.
- Bangalore  - 44 %
- Delhi          - 47-48%
- Similarly in other metros.

 

These are registered voters. I know most of us have not taken small pain to get themselves registered. That population is significant and are larger portion of the people who are agitated right now.

 

Why should political class worry about the agitated people if they know these people will not make any diffeence in their destiny.

 

Please make choices - right or wrong but it is better than choices made by other people. At least we will say it is my choice.

 

LETS GET OURSELVED REGISTERED AS VOTER TODAY and VOTE. 

Bangalore --> Vellore --> Pondicherry -> Chidamabaram -> Salem --> Bangalore
