I didn’t register to vote
this year for lack of a valid address proof. I deeply regret missing out on
being part of the community and exercising my right to vote, but I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I realised
almost everyone else around me made it a point to get registered and vote.
While the ballot boxes fill up with promises for a new regime, the anticipation to know who leads India into her next phase is just as exciting. While one leader promises reforms across the country that he has successfully implemented in one state, another promises to bring young Indians to the forefront.
I would love to see both these ideologies strung together as well. We’ve flourished in so many portals over the past decade: a booming BPO centre, a more modern and evolving infrastructure, and above all, bringing more and more people out of poverty with our growth. Yes, the challenges of a developing economy are still very much apparent in our social structure, but the effort to overcome these hurdles is just as apparent.
Bringing together technology and development seems to be the challenge here and for a country that relies less on its exports and more on agriculture, manufacturing and industrial sectors, BPO and health tourism, we’ve ensured stable development. This crucial crossroads we are at is what makes these elections all the more significant.
I’ve never seen everyone around me look so determined about what they want for our country. It’s not merely change that we crave, its stability, advancements and population welfare. Accessibility – in terms of availability of healthcare, government grants, education and other prominent mainstays – has been elusive, but will this be our turning point? A higher ground? It’s not just the media and the political campaigns that encouraged everyone to be a part of these elections, it is the hope to see a government that executes more than it promises. A cliché maybe, and yet it’s just what we want.
Here’s to those capable hands and minds that have guided us in the past and to those who will continue to take us to greater heights!
