The election is the biggest festival of democracy. In the world's biggest democracy this festival is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm. The whole election process is guarded by the constitutional body, the Election Commission of India. In the election process, we choose the most-liked contender. But if we don't like any candidate so we don't vote in elections and that directly decreases our overall voting percentage.  A very reasonable solution to this problem is NOTA (none of the above). Presently we are getting this choice in the election from December 2013 by the Election Commission of India. On 27 September 2013, the Supreme court of India ruled that voters have the right to cast their vote to “none of the above” and ordered the ECI to provide a button for the same in the EVM (electronic voting machines). But still, there is a need for improvements:- - If Nota receive the maximum no. of votes in a constituency then there must be re-election. - ...

And due to widespread coronavirus from China also weakens the ties of the two countries.  Srilanka has been seen to be more inclined to China in the recent past . On ...

Any Indian citizen who is 18yrs old and above has the right to vote and contest the election.13 Dec 1989 was the date when the starting age was reduced to18yrs from 21yrs. There is a constitutional body in India that handles the whole election procedure from the election of Prime Minister to Sarpanch.

Arguments in favor  1. By not providing them the right to vote, we are violating their right to equality. 2. An illiterate voter can distinguish between genuine promises and false promises.  3...

Recently a teaser of a Kannada superhit film KGF's sequel was launched on online platforms on the birthday of its leading actor Yash. And it is loved by a lot of people. On YouTube, this teaser has broken a lot of records, and in just 4 days it got 100million views. But the Karnataka State Anti-Tobacco Cell has taken exception to the visuals showing actor Yash lighting a cigarette and smoking.
