The anger against the political system is palpable. And it goes across party lines. Even the people who are strongly behind their parties no matter what (hint hint, BJP supporters), have to introspect and come up with a reason for change from the bottom of their hearts.
One news that caught my eye is that Delhi has polled above 60%. With Kashmir polling more than 60% as well, who knows, our democracy might be on the way to be stronger.
The theory being that, as the number of people voting increases, the possibility that they are thinking goes up, and the ballot becomes truer and truer representative of the peoples' wishes and aspirations.
Heck, even the news channels did cut down on advertisements and focused on reporting on the issue at hand. Most of the times with thought provoking discussions interspersed.
Only if this is really happening, I am glad that we are doing at least this to commemorate the innocent and the brave who lost their lives. This looks so little for such a great loss, but at least this is a beginning !!
