Why Vote


Apparently there are about 249 countries in the world. Out of which 193 are members of UN.

A government is the system by which a community is governed/organized

We all are aware that every community, every human, every so called country has problems, confusion, depressions, anxiety so on and so on..

What we are asking is this. No matter which part of the world it is, the problems, confusion, depressions, anxiety does exist. Every country, every community and every human. It is global...

How in this case can the so called "Government" which is trying to govern a "specific" community or country can solve the problems which are Global?

The world spends $400,000 million on wars. The fragmented Governments fighting against each other to save their own community? Doesn't it sound insane?

The Problem is global. No Government. Democracy, Monarchy, Authoritarian, Totalitarian can solve this problem till the time it is fragmented.

The Governments are corrupt. If we are to think the Governments were formed then corruption seeped in, it is wrong. Corruption was there for a very long time. Even before Kings and queens were ruling. Governments and money are tools used to streamline corruption in a place where you are being said you are free. Where the country is said to be democratic.

The design needs a change. The pattern is wrong. There is a fake hope seeded in every individuals minds. After every 5 years comes an election. A fake hope being painted that the problems will be solved. Solved by your Vote to the right person. There is no right person when the whole design is a flaw. Election campaigns promising to resolve all your problems "within YOUR country". When the problem is global. There are 249 odd and all governments promising and waging war against each other.
Do you realize what have we got ourselves into?

World has lost the very human nature in an urge to be Patriotic, Religious, Professional and so on..No political group, No organization, no religious group can be solution since they are fragmented. The problem is not approached globally.

Let’s take a look at the world’s largest democratic, secular country and it gifted Government solving their countrymen’s problems for the past 60 odd years. India.

"In 150 years, the Britishers did not plunder the country as much as the leaders of this nation have looted." - Anna Hazare

British Raj was for almost 150 years. However the Gifted Indian Government has managed to loot the nation within 60 odd years. Below is the amount of money made by Politicians out of all these scams.


Even before Indian independence the Congress were corrupt.
When the congress came to power in 1937 in six states, corruption was so rampant that "Gandhi" out of disgust in 1939 wrote “I would go to length of giving the whole congress a decent burial than put up with the corruption that is rampant.” in response to the widespread corruption in Congress ministries formed under 1935 Act in six states in 1937.
You see they started warming up back then.

Our Proud Governments first scandal after Indian independence in August 1947 is called Jeep Scandal in the year 1948. Buy Jeeps for Indian defence forces and hence the reference. Democratic country's first embellishment. So on and so on.

2014 the so called country India is awaiting yet another election. I do not know how many other countries have their elections and when. But the question is the same. Are you going to hope for the fragmented Governments to solve the problems which are global? Are you going to Vote?

Breaking the pattern:
Option of not voting for any candidate- Rule 49-O of Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 in India.
This is when you are dead sure that both the parties are no good, the elector can opt not to vote.
You can opt for 49-O when you know the design is a flaw.
Its been more than 60 years since we have been selecting amongst the better worst.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. ~ Jerry Garcia

"We shall not contest any election nor shall we take part in politics of elections but shall work for the countrymen," Anna Hazare
