I Vote Nobody: 49-0

My friend -Sachin Kamra from New Delhi- has sent this article for publication of our blog. The last phase of the current Lok Sabha elections is due in next 3 days.
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section " 49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he/she doesn't want to vote anyone! Yes such a feature is available, but obviously past + present leaders have never disclosed it.
This is called "49-O".

Why should You go and say " I VOTE NOBODY". Because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be canceled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way; of our whole political system. It is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public.
Please spread this news to as many as You know.
Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India . Show Your power, expressing Your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting. So don't miss Your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this information to all.
Use your voting right for a better INDIA . Share this with as many as You can. Because sharing is caring. It is caring about our dear Mother India.

Black Money In Swiss Accounts

Since the issue of black money in Swiss Bank accounts is raised everyone is talking & discussing it, even a appeal is filed in Supreme Court about the same and media also highlighting the same but as a general common man we all knows that still for any work to be completed we have to pass the various stage of a parallel system or may be bigger than then original system by paying bribe. Even in case of complain against bribe / corruption you will be not sure whether the culprit will get punishment and your work will be complete without any hassles. May be the whole team have a negative attitude against you. A possibility also exist that the complaint of corruption may backfire on yourself.

Generally in case of corruption the said culprits gets themselves free by paying the commission to the concerned persons / inquiry personals (again corruption). Sometime case goes so much long that the culprit finishes his term by then and the other way is to stop the movement of file and hide in a dump of waste documents. If the culprit is powerful then he may threaten you or may harm you by using his wrong hands.

SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS BEING DONE TO STOP MORE MONEY GOING IN SWISS BANKS AND THE RULES IN USE ARE ENFORCED PROPERLY. IN HOW MANY CASES CULPRIT HAS BEEN PUNISHED?

Voter Turnout in Phase 4

As per the news in fourth phase of election at Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, UP and Srinagar the average voting percentage is 57% (need more participation), while West Bengal report highest voters turnout with 75% voting, in Srinagar only 24% voters used their franchisee. Haryana recorded 63% voting, and 50% voting is reported in Rajasthan. Punjab has seen turnout of 65% voters and in Bihar only 37% come to select their representatives. In Srinagar voting percentage is better than previous elections.

Some cases of violence reported in these phase but overall phase - IV voting is peaceful. In Rajasthan some violence and booth capturing is reported.

Low Voting Percentage

Low voting in 3rd phase of general election 2009 is the cause of concern for all politicians, election commission, NGO and every concerned person. Various reasons are behind the same, some of them are as follows :-

- Peoples don't want to vote for corrupt/criminals

- Heat Wave (Rising temperature) and dusty warm air waves

- Many of us think it is not important and doesn't matter if my one vote is not cast (Every vote is important)

- Names shifted to some other places due to changes in electoral list and voter is unable to find where to vote?

- Tactics (paying money, distributing alcohol, etc) by Political parties to stop particular type of voters from casting vote when they are sure that these vote will goes to their opponent

- Boycott Call by naxalists/maoist/terrorist groups

- voters are too much busy with his/her own life

I think timing of vote must be increased because during the day timing between 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM peoples do not prefers to go out of home because of too much heat and warm waves of air which affects health so voting process can be started from 7.00 a.m morning and may goes up to 7.30 in evening.

Also all the polling booths must have arrangement of drinking water, fans, proper lighting system and separate toilets for ladies and gents must be their.

Are Pakistani Nuclear Weapons Safe ?

The state of Pakistan and its government is under great pressure from all foreign countries to remove and eliminate extremist from its land and the Pakistan Army has launched its attack on Taliban and hopes to finish their control from Buner District . However the citizens of Pakistan are living under the fear of Taliban. Talibani peoples armed with heavy guns are roaming freely in the Swat Valley everywhere. Mr. Asaf Ali Zardari, President of Pakistan is giving assurance again and again to whole world that Nuclear weapons of Pakistan is safe and will not go in the hand of extremist groups but everyone knows what is the actual scenario in Pakistan? The Pakistani army is getting a tough resistance from extremist fighters in their operations against Taliban.

Pakistani economy is already going through very bad phase and dependent on the monetary help provided by United States of America but it is not sure whether the funds provided for betterment of Pakistan and elimination of extremist are used in right manner. I think the US / International forces must immediately take control of Nuclear Arsenal of Pakistan and should launch its attack on Taliban in co-ordination with Pakistani Army to make sure that the mission launched by Pakistani army continues till the extremist are removed totally because there is a possibility that government of Pakistan is trying to present a wrong picture in International Arena by making announcement and launching attack on militants. It may also possible that after few weeks the army abandon its attack.

If extremist take control of Pakistan India will be first on the line of fire from them as all these jihadi groups claims to fight against India. In view of recent terrorist attacks in last two years at various cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Bangalore, Guwhati, Government of India must draw the plan for any situation arising out of Pakistani scenarios and should not depend on the conclusions drawn by American government. Internal Security structure must be redrawn from scratch immediately and must be completed in a mentioned timeframe of few months.

India must be ready for a nuclear war as it may happens if extremist take control of State of Pakistan and nuclear weapons control comes in their hands.

Nuclear Deal

The congress party is highlighting the nuclear deal as a big achievement in their election campaign and the BJP is saying that they have started this process. As per my knowledge India is going to spent billions on this deal in coming decades and even after spending this much huge amount the nation will be not standing on its own feet's because of dependency on other countries. If India have spent 25% amount of nuclear deal on Research & Development (R&D) of alternative energy sources, millions of jobs will be created and long term establishment will come to nation. The R&D will raise the morale of common man and our international image will definitely get more strength. In future by exporting the researched technology we can increase the national revenues by many folds. And by starting research we will be able to research & launch environment friendly products / resources for generation of energy / power, which will be great for whole world in view of increasing effect of Global Warming and declining environment. Also the research activity and the production of researched products of commercial scale will give employment opportunities for peoples and we will have our own model of renovation which will be followed by other nation instead that we are following the model of some other developed nations. Let our nation become the leader and not the follower. We have the talent, resources, will power and everything which a nation requires to move ahead.

Social networking

A number of social networking sites exist on Internet today some of them international and other may be operating for a particular region. They basic purpose is same but their frontend, operational procedure and their applications differ. Many of us have even joined more than one site. Many users of these social sites even have not completed their profile on them or may be provided wrong information but may be very active user.

Also how do we make ensure that the personal information provided to these sites are not saleable/accessed to other persons. If the information is leaked from their what is the course of action to revert the mistake. Generally no one reads the terms & conditions mentioned in the agreement of these sites for the user registering themselves and they put some legal clause which gives them the right to manipulate the user information.

According to you which is the best social networking site.
