Will Elections Save India Anytime?
India, the world’s largest democracy, prides itself on allowing us to choose our leaders. But how many of us truly feel we had a hand in selecting the Prime Minister? Only a fraction. The reality is, those with influence, money, and power often win and rule. Is this the best way to select our leaders?
Each election, we find ourselves with only two major candidates to choose from, limiting our true voice. Why do we accept this illusion of choice? Why do we allow ourselves to be boxed into a corner, believing these are our only options?
Despite decades of sticking with this system, corruption continues to rise. We’ve watched as the same patterns repeat, with the powerful and wealthy manipulating the system to secure their positions. Should we even call this democracy?
Votes are bought, and elections are influenced by caste, creed, and fanaticism. Why do we continue to support a system that rewards deceit and manipulation over honesty and vision? The so-called leaders steal from everyone and give it to a handful of people who will vote for them to run this system of corruption.
Why do we place our faith in a system that has repeatedly failed us? Why do we hand over power to the corrupt, expecting them to act in our best interest? It’s time to wake up from this collective delusion.
In every other aspect of life, we embrace innovation and refinement. Why should our electoral system be any different? Current leaders thrive on the status quo because it benefits them. They have no incentive to change the system. It is up to us, the people, to demand a system that truly represents our interests.
We deserve leaders chosen for their capability to serve the nation, not for their ability to deceive.
