Election and Voting in Indian Democracy

India as a democratic country observes their elections every five years. The qualified voters are those Indian citizens who are eighteen years of age. Different parties held meetings in order to for the citizens to draw their attention to their programs. Candidates for election also walk in every area to promote their candidacy. Candidates who get the most of the people’s vote will they win but if not, they lose. It is indeed a struggle and a fight but it is a harmonious fight. The only things involve are not bullets but ballots.

The election in India is a like an examination in school where students review very hard. Those who study hard pass but those who don’t flunk. Just like elections, there are good leaders who support the assistance of the people as much as people supported then during the election. Thus, people don’t have a hard time in choosing who they will vote.

However, there are also politicians who are not responsible for their duties. What is important for them is to profit. They just say “yes” to the public demands but they are not taking necessary actions. When another election period takes place, that’s the time they will remember their promise. These kinds of politicians are like playful boys who doesn’t exert effort to study and when the examination is approaching, they will start studying and stay late at night to study hard but still, they flunk the test.

But examination is not a true test of excellence. This is also the same with election. Those good leaders who deserve to win often lose while those corrupt politicians win during election. This is because of the voters who are not aware of the value of their vote. A ballot paper has so much strength will give an impact to government without risking the life of the people. Unfortunately, people don’t vote wisely especially those poor people who don’t make proper use of their vote. Indeed, elections are neither totally clear nor just.

Asia’s Renewable Energy

For the proposal to succeed in dealing with turning point of energy and climate change, the governments throughout the countries especially in Asia are paying particular attention on renewable energy resources. Renewable energy is based on the concept on a logical modification from natural sources like solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, and some forms of biomass which are restored at a rapid rate compared for the consumption. Some of the renewable products are hydroelectric power plants, geothermal, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, tide, wave, ocean, wind, solid and liquid biofuels, biogases and municipal waste source of energy.

The renewable energy sources will produce Asian developing countries many options to hold a low carbon route and provide the rural areas electrification through living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. China has always been onward to progress in the area of renewable energy. Out of its overall energy usage of 94,799 petajoule, 11,282 petajoule arrive from renewable energy. In this manner, eleven percent of their energy demands are satisfied by renewable energy sources. Relatively smaller countries such as Sri Lanka, Philippines, Pakistan and Indonesia are also increasingly fulfilling their needs in energy with the help of renewable energy. The countries are expanding their national manufacturing of solar, wind and battery technology in order to produce cleaner energy.
