Hello everyone. Have read ur comments and am of the opinion that Indians staying abroad should be given the right to vote too. Reasons are many. The NRIs have the same access to the Indian channels where they get to know the day to day events of India. The Indian programmes too update them with the different festivals. They too enjoy watching the the progress and feel disgusted when they watch the Indian Politicians misbehaving in the parliament. What guarantee we have the people living in India and who are on the spot noticing the politicians of their regions fulfilling or not their electoral promises get to vote the right person. Ninetynine percent chance is that everyone makes a wrong choice. Every time there are elections the policitians come out with promises and promises which they never accomplish and at the end of their electoral term they put the blame on the previous candidate or the previous government. So allowing the NRIs to vote will not in anyway tamper the electoral process.

 

On the contrary PEOPLE OF LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES WHO LIVE IN EUROPE ARE OBLIGED TO VOTE ON THE ELECTION DAY. THEY HAVE TO TAKE LEAVE FROM THEIR EMPLOYERS TO ASSIST THE ELECTORAL PROCESS. Even Europeans living abroad send their votes by post. This is very common.

 

The LAZY INDIAN SYSTEM does not want to take the trouble of counting votes coming by mail and also letting the NRIs in their regions to vote.

I think they should be given a chance to vote for the president/prime minister of the country they are living in, because they know their needs.

The indians who have finally settled abroad, won't really be affected by the leaders they would choose by voting .their vote might just increase the vote count of a particular party without thinking about the condition of the country
