Dear Seema,

This is a message from me to the class regarding voting on the 10th, please forward.

Dear Students, I wouldn't normally tell you what your politics should be, but this is a critical juncture in the country. 

Please remember, if you vote for Modi, you are not voting for Modi, but for the BJP. This is not a Presidential system, it is Parliamentary democracy. Modi will require 270 seats, which means 270 BJP or BJP-allied politicians in Parliament. 

In fact not only does voting for modi means voting for BJP, but voting for the BJP means an acceptance of the Sangh Parivar. Just last week Modi announced that he is a loyal member of the RSS. If you are in any doubt about the abiding connection between politics of hatred represented by the Sangh Parivar and Modi, please take a minute to read this:

For clinching evidence of Modi's effect on communalising Gujarat and encouraging communal violence post-Godhra (3000 Muslims killed, 2 lakhs rendered permanently homeless), watch Rakesh Sharma's film Final Solution:

If you are convinced by any of the above, these are options for tactical voting in Delhi to defeat the BJP:

By the way, in New Delhi constituency, the AAP candidate is Ashish Khetan. Please take a few minutes to read his chilling investigative report on 2002:

I think he deserves to be elected!

Finally, as for the argument (known in philosophy as moral relativism) that terrorists also do it and other parties also do it, please remember - those responsible for 1984 anti-Sikh riots and terrorists are not asking for your precious vote; the BJP is!!

DEMOCRACY DOES NOT MEAN GOING WITH THE WAVE, IT IS FREE CHOICE. READ EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SANGH PARIVAR BEFORE GIVING THEM SO MUCH POWER.

VOTE WISELY AND ETHICALLY, PRESERVE THE PRECIOUS DEMOCRATIC FREEDOMS THE CONSTITUTION HAS ENSHRINED.

Warmly,

Sunalini

Thank you for this mail!Means a lot!

We the citizens of the India will ensure that our Indian Democracy and its institutions are not in the hands of people who are trying to create a path towards political authoritarianism.Rather we need the voices of the people  to be heard and equal spaces for all of us to show our dissent and make our Democracy much more vibrant.

Affectionately,

Srujana

Well said mam! 

Let not democracy be tainted or played with, in the hands of the communal forces, What development He talks about is to further let big business groups or industrialists dominate over our resources and doing tokenism by making roads, highways, colossal buildings or investments in agriculture for export purpose (Gujarat's model)...If one thinks this is development then please take time and re-evaluate your thinking!  see how well Gujarat is doing in terms of fulfilling basic needs of its people : Rajan committee report n census report 2011  

Don't let democracy turn into 'autocracy'
