Vote Rigging, the Dubious Role of the Election Commission, and the Rising People’s Movement







Serious doubts have repeatedly been raised regarding the voting process in India’s Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections. Opposition parties have strongly objected to the role of the Election Commission, raising questions about everything from the reliability of EVM machines to the transparency of the vote-counting process.

Recently, the National Congress Party, through its public meetings and press conferences, has exposed fake names in voter lists. These developments show that public awareness is increasing. However, the core issue at the heart of all this remains the dubious role of the Election Commission.

As suspicions of bias in the results grow, people’s faith in the Election Commission has begun to erode. This attempt to manipulate public opinion is a grave assault on democracy itself. The fourth pillar of democracy — the media — too seems to be maintaining silence on these issues. Government-opposing movements growing on the ground are being largely ignored by mainstream coverage.

Much like in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, public opinion in India also appears to be gradually leaning toward political change. Though Indian society has long been divided along caste and class lines, rising economic inequality, unemployment, and the government’s corrupt and hollow governance have fueled public anger.

The narcotic of religion, used to distract the masses, is no longer proving effective. Farmers, workers, and the laboring classes have reached a breaking point under growing exploitation. Meanwhile, the rapid growth in wealth among capitalists close to those in power has deepened economic inequality within the nation.

Against this backdrop, the fractured strands of Indian society seem to be coming together once again — and this could mark the beginning of a new social transformation.

Education

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

EDUCATION IS THE THE MILK OF A TIGRESS.

Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it is bound to roar. This is not just a slogan — it is the nectar for all the oppressed. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar knew that in a deeply unequal and caste-ridden society, education was the only weapon of true liberation. Even today, countless marginalized individuals possess talent, skill, and ambition — but fear, superstition, and systemic traps hold them back. That’s why Babasaheb’s words must echo louder than ever: "Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it will roar!" #Ambedkar #EducationForAll #BahujanUnity #Navmantra #SocialReform

Cast and Varna system in India.

 In the Indian social system, you cannot live as a human being simply as a human. An Indian remains confined only within his caste. His economic, social, educational, and cultural formation, as well as his emotional development, are shaped within caste and are destroyed there as well. Whatever collective feeling should exist as a nation or as a society can never truly develop. Why does such dreadful inequality exist? Because it is based on the caste system. The creation of this system was not only to exploit and reduce competition for the benefit of the Brahmin community, but also to ensure that, even though a person possesses ability, skill, and willpower, he remains trapped within his caste or is forced to work only in that sphere. Most importantly, if you show willpower and try to break the caste system, the system confuses you. It makes you believe you can achieve everything, but in reality, you cannot—because you cannot change your emotions, nor can you detach from your rela...
