While I respect and understand your frustration about corrupt politics, it indeed shows the pathetic state of our understanding of current politics. They don't care even if you die (refer thousands died due self immolation on protestsr or those millions died in Kashmir, 287 in 93 mumbai blast, hundreds butchered in Godra train, 180 in 2006 mumbai serial train blasts etc). If you don't vote, they've thousands of chelas! This in fact the major issue with our intellects. We speak frustrations more in paper, pvt parties, our homes -talk negative and endup in inactions (understand yours is an effort to send message on deaf ears!). Eg: In mid 80's @Yashwantpur@Blore everyone supported George Fernandes (union leader) against corrupt Jaffar Sherrif. It's no brainer he'll win in Industrial const. Guess what? all workers/intellects enjoyed vacation instead of voting and Japhar won. Do we have better solution? Sure -as long as we comeout of our houses, form /join networks and get proactive (not cry wolf after the fact). There is no dearth of solutions. Be brave and attack instead of facing a miserable death (continue the foreign slavery under Italian leader!).
