Empowered!

And it has happened! My name is a part of the revised electoral roll for the state of Maharashtra and I am empowered to exercise my fundamental right of voting in the general elections early next year! It is an amazing feeling to be a part of the largest democratic machinery of the world. I am now constitutionally equal to all the adults across the country. My opinions will now be heard. My vote will be counted. My vote will make a difference. Young voters will definitely have a major role to play in the elections. We constitute one of the largest electoral colleges and wooing us is going to be a tough task for the politicians because our generation is dynamic. Our generation also has the advantage of learning from mistakes made in the last 60 years. We have broader mindsets, a global outlook and belief in our potential to transform. Political parties are getting tech savvy to keep up with our generation. It would be inappropriate not to mention one of the greatest visionaries of modern day who unfortunately is no longer with us. Mr. Pramod Mahajan. His usage of technology for election campaigning ushered in a new age of canvassing in India.
I have been enlisted as a voter. I can utilise the rights provided to me by the provisions of adult suffrage. I'll make sure that I make a difference. Stand up and make sure to show off the indelible ink on your finger. I am proud to be a part of one of the greatest and most vibrant democracies. I am now a changed man because now I am EMPOWERED!
