Kollegal: Election is a festival of Indian democracy.. voting is a sacred duty… anyone who is 18 years and older should vote without any excuses…. Not casting vote is not only a responsibility but also a moral obligation…. Voting awareness campaign has been held…
We usually hear these phrases from Election Commission during every election. After Indian independence since 1947 we have had numerous elections; Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, Zilla Panchayat, Taluk Panchayat, Gram Panchayat. But, here we find a Tribal Woman, aged 35 years, who has never cast her vote in her life! She is not even aware of the term Voting and so she and her husband have never voted in their lifetime. Raaji (Rajamma), tribal woman, from Gullada Bayalu village belonging to Huttur Gram Panchayat in Hanur constituency is the one who is not cognisant of this moral obligation.
