Only 43% of eligible Mumbaikars voted this time. More than half of the voters from the metrop avoided excercising their franchise. Isn’t it a shame? I think it speaks volumes about the mentality of the city. What has euphemistically been called the indomitable spirit of the city and the capacity of its citizens to bounce back after the worst is nothing but callous apathy. Henceforth the city as a whole has no right to complain against the apathy of the system: the system is only what we make it into and it responds only as we train it how to. Tomorrow any gun totting and granade hurling b^$#@rd will hold us to ranson, any place and anybody can be blown to gory bits of limbs and trunks and what we expect you to do is take out candle lit marches with a lot of make up and so much lipstick to flaunt. And when someone remarks as to the same you and your media jokers will tear them to bits. After all, it’s fashionable and so free of risk! We are doomed to be culled like a bunch of hapless chicken and a large chunk of the blame rests squarely on your shoulders, Mumbaikars. Shame on you!

Why only Mumbai. Most of the so called upper middle class and Upper class abstains itself.Substantial segment of middle class also finds it an exercise in Vacuum. The so called Politically aware Kolkatans do not vote in large numbers.It reflects the cynicism that has set in amongst the populace.When all the contenders are rogues of same degree,the process of selection is defeated at the doorstep.
People get the government they deserve in a democracy. and people who don”t vote most probably dont care about the governance becoz whoever is in power will behave in the same way.
oh-oh, another moan-and-groan ”piece” from you !! YAWN !! YAWN !!
i agree and if u notice the ones who are educated and can make adifference normally stay away! shame indeed!
i voted - but the impact of not voting u have given is pure shit yaar - doc voting has nothing to do with gun toting bastards - they will come - vote or dont vote. I voted bcus i wanted to influence the govt in a very small way. Maybe our MP might echo our voice in the parliament… thats just a hope.
in the end it is we ourselves who pay the price for apathy - you r right if we dont speak then forever our tongues we have to hold - like the price the yanks paid for getting Bush elected. niiiiiiice one doc
