We Chat, We Debate, We #VoteForIndia

We Chat, We Debate, We Vote. India currently finds itself standing on the crossroads. We can either opt for the right path, which may have certain obstacles which we can collectively overcome OR we can opt for the wrong path, a path that will devastate our future, jeopardize the future of the next generation and make our progress stand still.

The youth of India needs to utilize this opportunity and be part of something special. If it wasn't for US, a party like Aam Aadmi could have never been formed and brought into power. It's the power of the common man that has all the powers to thrash and demolish the ego's of the parties and make them aware of the fact that if the aam aadmi of this country rises up - becoming a developed nation shall no more be a 'dream'.

With the growing of technology, comes in our hands a very special power. The youth of today is very active on internet and when off it, equally active on mobile apps. Staying in touch with all the recent happenings has got easier with these apps. To name one such app : WeChat. Chatting is not only what we do on WeChat but also it's about serious discussions that take place between 2 individuals. I for one have had many such discussions with my friends and that's why such apps help us understands each other's views, debate on them, discuss on them and then make an opinion/have our opinion.

Using these apps effectively will result in an 'ideal' elections for the youth and in general, the PEOPLE OF INDIA.

Socially used mobile apps - they can also be used THIS way -

• WeChat - As I mentioned earlier, it's not just an app made for chatting. Invite your friends for chats, make them aware of the issues we face, debate and discuss on the parties fighting in the elections. Know each other's views and share yours. This way, a healthy discussion can take place and of course a healthy discussion is always a positive sign.
• Facebook and Twitter - Now, these are social media sites but also have apps on mobile. While on the go, you can stay in touch with your friends and the latest happenings and NO, not just see hashtags like 'feku' and 'papu' trending, that's not what these apps are/were ideally made for. Create groups on facebook, reach to large masses and write about topics that will actually determine WHICH party is worth voting.
• Instagram - This is basically an app made for image sharing but did you ever think of using it this way - , do you see horrible conditions in your surroundings! Pardon me for asking this obvious questions - of course you do. Take an image of such poor conditions and upload them on Instagram, share with your friends, spread it around and tell everyone that the government that rules your state/city/district isn't doing it's work effectively. 

Existing Social Mobile Political Apps -

India Politics - This app covers all the aspects of the on-going events in Indian politics. Live feeds, election dates, past election results, speeches of leaders (via the courtesy of youtube), connect with your favorite parties and leaders via twitter and facebook.

India272+ Volunteer (Introduced by Narendra Modi) - This is the official app released by Narendra Modi. I see this app as a 'game-changer'. Narendra Modi has given the voters a direct chance to get involved with his party. Voters have the option of taking part in discussions, sharing their views, getting all the updates about Narendra Modi's rallies. All those that support the BJP and Narendra Modi, this app ought to 'catch your attention'. A must download app and I'd suggest that all the parties must create similar apps.

Apps that CAN be created to mobilize/convince India's youth to vote -

Bio of the politicians - lots of politicians contest elections, we as the voters do not always know their history/bio. It becomes absolutely necessary to know about the person you're voting for, to insure 'correct voting'. Early life, education, criminal records, family background - the app should cover it all. There is Wikipedia for this, but certain people do not always trust it's information and besides, it may not always have all the necessary information about Indian politicians in particular.

Online voting -  With new inventions in technology literally everyday, perhaps it's the right time to change the VOTING procedure. How about online voting! A unique password/username for all the voters, which will be provided as per your election card. If we can have a large majority of India's youth/people on internet, why not use internet as a median to change the face of voting. This will take time to implement but it's at least worth to discuss on such unique ideas which are very possible to implement in the near future.

That's pretty much my take on the topic. These are a few suggestions from my side, the rest depends upon you (readers). Let's vote for a change, WE can certainly bring about a change - awareness is the key. #VoteForIndia and be a part of history in the upcoming elections which out to change the political scenario of India forever. :)

Do visit WeChat website and download there app. Chat and discuss on issues that will help in bringing about a change.
