India with quarter and one thousand million populations

with numerous cast, creed, colors languages, and almost all religions

goes to the poll after every five years to elect the members of its parliament.

The party or a coalition of parties with majority forms the government.

Five hundred forty three seats exist in India’s parliament,

they represent people over the country’s different segments

Elections were held this time via electronic voting machine through secret ballet

for five hundred forty three seats where more than eight thousand candidates were in fray.

Eight hundred twenty million electorates were eligible to exercise their voting power

to select these members from  forty eight parties contesting and fighting bitter.

It took a month and a week to complete this election process

Then on sixteenth May the counting took place.

The ruling party UPA led by Congress was thrown out

NDA led by B J P seized the power winning the bout.

The melodrama of pre and post election with propaganda and celebration

backed by spicy analysis in electronic media is beyond any description.

The massive democratic process could be completed with perfection

proving that man longs for equal right and tries to protect his own.
