Relevance of NOTA in indian politics.

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.

- Political parties that lose to NOTA will have to bear the expenses of re-election.

- Any candidate who loses from nota should not be allowed to contest election for at least 6yrs

    It's just as assumption but what if these NOTA votes get converted into the real votes to some party. That would be more great, plus other parties who couldn't get majority in other states should at least give it a try in such states like Meghalaya. Maybe they're the one the public is looking for.

  firstly, we should know about the social evils. Social evils :  Social evils are all the elements that are contradictory to moral values.  These affect not just individuals but the whole society member, which are related to each other in terms of nation or a community. Some of the social evils are ; Youth crime, drugs, and alcohol abuse, falling values, etc. Now let's get back to the question Do films create a social evil? ​Yes, some films cause social evil but second thing is that the audience should also need to understand which kinds of films to be watched. ​ Let's take a review;     We watch movies and we enjoy but we forgot this one silver screen is for our entertainment but real life is different.     In movies everything is possible but in real life maybe it is not possible.  But movie's impact is always shown in our society.    Especially, teenagers want to fulfill their dreams and desires and they can not understand what is wrong and what is right only they want

voting rights to illiterate-logical or not??

India's literacy rate is 74.4% according to the 2011 census, which contains 82.14% for males and 65.46% for females. 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. When India became independent thousands of questions arose in the minds of constitution-makers. One major question among all these was- Should illiterate people have the right to vote? We know that voting is a very big responsibility in a democracy. After a lot of debates and arguments, the decision was taken and voting right was also given to illiterate citizens. 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. Som
