They are here
and there is no way you can miss them.
The Indian
general elections 2014 are already being tagged as the ‘biggest elections’ in world history. There are some staggering
figures that go with this mammoth activity for e.g. these also will be the
longest and the most expensive general elections in the history of the country
with the Election Commission of India estimating that the election will cost
the exchequer INR 35 billion!
The promotions
for the two biggest political parties in India are not just hitting television
and internet but the online and social space as well. Massive rallies and
ground activations are in full swing.
The real
question to be asked here is – how much
are you as an individual being swayed by it to actually go and vote for the
candidate of your choice?
We can never
downplay the importance of voting – your future and the country’s future are
directly affected with your decision. If you have an opinion which resonates
with the thinking or views of a candidate, then it’s your moral obligation and
duty to vote for that person and see through that your opinion gets a voice in
the parliament. Voting also helps democracy to prevail and if you don’t make
that decision to vote, then the chances increase of you getting ruled by by
someone who wouldn't necessarily represent your opinions or have your interests
at heart.
The reason to
vote cannot be overstated. Here at Hero BPO, we have decided to give all the
employees and the staff, whose shifts are in the morning and afternoon, an off
on the day of the election. This would make sure that our employees go out and
exercise their responsibility to vote as they should.
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in
politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” - Plato
