Democracy or Blindness?

Every election, our government spends billions of rupees. Campaigns run 24/7, rallies fill the streets, and parties fight for votes.

But when a citizen like you and me presses the button to vote, we are given… nothing. No acknowledgment, no receipt, no proof that our vote was counted.

Why? Because of a law written in 1951 — the Representation of the People Act.
A law made 74 years ago still decides how we vote today, in an era of UPI payments, online banking, and blockchain transparency.

If banks can give us instant statements, if technology can track every rupee…
why can’t democracy give citizens the basic right to verify their vote?

Is this true democracy? Or are we just asked to trust blindly?

Democracy must evolve with technology, not stay stuck in 1951. Are we living 1951 scenario?
Why protect voter identity at all? Can a candidate really punish lakhs of voters? If they knew who voted against them, wouldn’t that force them to improve? Isn’t secrecy just a way to weaken the citizen’s role in government?
