post number 1
Hi, so this is my first blog and I am obviously excited.
As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Here goes!
Abraham Lincoln said famously, "Democracy is a government for the people, by the people and of the people." Did he know that the vox pop or masses were going to be called ppl or peeps in some time?
Jokes apart, democracy has now become "far the people, bye the people and off the people."
The poor voting in Maharashtra reflects that. But consider this,
did you know that transgenders in Maharashtra didn't have voting rights? And, we thought we lived in a democracy.
Doesn't the Indian constitution guarantee universal adult franchise without discrimination of gender, caste, class, region etc.? Then why this injustice?They have a considerable population in Maharashtra. They do have voting rights in Tamil Nadu and abroad.
If you did not know this and want to know more, support our movement called "Taali Bajao", an initiative for voting rights for transgenders in Maharashtra. Like us on face-book, follow us on twitter, extend you support! The links are http://www.facebook.com/#!/taalibajao and https://twitter.com/#!/taalibajao . Thanks peeps!
