<span lang="EN-IN" style="background-color: #444444; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: white; font-family: Georgia;"><i>There are many
issues that are always revolving around an election. Firstly, whenever an
election comes up, no matter if it’s a municipal or a state assembly or a
panchayat election there is a lot of talk amongst the common people about the
elements like money, caste and religious based voting. I don’t think this
year’s elections (16<sup>th</sup> Lok Sabha & Assembly elections in 7
states) will be any different. The major issues are :</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

money exchanging hands between the voters and the party workers campaigning for
a contestant has become a prevalent practise in our system and is very much an
open secret. One may not find this practise in the urban areas but this the
ground reality in the rural areas, small towns and villages. The senior
politicians and the new aged highly educated politicians are equally to be
blamed for this set up of a bad precedent, thereby mocking the true meaning of
the word ‘Democracy’. There have been been reports of unaccounted cash being
seized regularly but this practise never stops and most of this wrongdoing gets
swept under the rug.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Georgia;"> <i> The issue of fake
voting is a longstanding one. The voter ID registration process is not really
transparent and clean and almost everyone can get the voter ID card by the
process that is being followed. The people are brought to the polling booths by
an arranged transport system, in few cases they are even lured by providing
them with alcohol. Recently on a social media network, a woman from <st1:city w:st="on">Bangalore</st1:city> came up with a post saying there were many
Bangladeshi citizens in her locality, who migrated to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> hardly an year ago and were
applying for the voter ID cards on the basis of having the Aadhar and the PAN
cards. Such migrants are encouraged in every possible way by appeasing them
with jobs, shelter and subsidies by the Government that seeks their support
during an election. It’s a baffling fact that the Aadhar and PAN card holders
need not be Indians and based on those cards they are being considered for the
provision of a voter ID card. This just cannot happen without any support and
external pressure from the people in power, who are good at making things
happen behind the scenes with no fear of law and clearly suggesting that
political mileage is what they are interested in by increasing their votebank
tally. All such fake voters, who do not even connect to the basic concepts of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>
contribute significantly in the outcome of the polls.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="background-color: #444444; color: white;"> <i><b> </b> Votebank politics
for me is the cheapest way one would think of coming to power. ‘Unity in
Diversity’ , a motto which India brags about but there’s a massive division in
the Indian society amongst many people, thanks mainly to the countless castes,
languages, various religions and opportunistic politics by parties like INC . No matter how much one denies this, it’s the
actual reality of the scenario right from the backward regions to the urban
Thakurs, Rajputs, Jats of northern <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> to the Reddy, Gowda and Iyer
communities down south. The politicians go to the minorities and make
irresponsibly inflammatory speeches to seek votes in the name of caste and
religion and that is where the fuel is added to the fire. It’s like business
asusual for them where they can stoop to new low levels just to gain power and
run their show of strength. I feel, the parties which are the self certified
guardians of the concept of ‘Secularism’ in India, which accuse other parties
of polarising the votes for political gains are the real wreckers of this
society by disrupting the little communal harmony and by building a
communalised and polarised atmosphere around the elections. </i></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">It was five years ago(2005) when a new teenager on the block walked up to the crease in Indian colours to face the demi God of Lankan cricket.Yes,you guessed it right-Mutthiah Muralitharan,who was at his peak and simply unstoppable was to bowl to the very talented eighteen year old Suresh Raina on the latter's ODI debut in Dambulla.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Raina,who only watched Murali bowl from outside the cricket field and heard the experts shower their praises on him realised what it was like to face the spin wizard when he was caught plumb in front of the stumps on the first ever ball in his international career.It was a delivery pitched short of length and Raina rocked onto the back foot to cut the ball and was too late to get his bat down realizing it was the wily doosra from Murali.A dejected Raina had a long walk back to the pavilion after a very inauspicious start to his career.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five years on and Raina has transformed himself into a cautiously aggressive batsman and has cemented his place in the Indian ODI side.He lends solidarity to the middle order and has come up with a few match winning performances.His ability to adapt to any kind of situation and curb his attacking instincts has impressed many.He may not be having a great technique while defending the chin music and the greatest of footworks but surely has got a good defence and a wide range of strokes.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Raina played the most number of ODI's by any player before entering the Test cricket arena(98 ODI's,now more than 100) and his Test match career got off to a dream start with a hundred(120) against his name and shared a double hundred run partnership(256) with the batting God,Sachin Tendulkar.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apart from all this in the shortest version of the game also Raina has made a mark for himself in the ICC World Twenty20 by scoring a ton against South Africa which made him the first Indian batsman to achieve the feat of scoring a hundred in International Twenty20 matches.His impressive talent in batting and fielding has provided a new dimension to team India and he is a real asset to any team.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Raina,who was sent packing on his first vigil at the crease by Muralitharan,has come quite a way and is now playing along with him for the franchisee Chennai Super Kings bringing about the transformation in him and a great level of maturity.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
