Are we ready for 2019 LS election?

As the calendar gets closer towards yet another fractious general election of the biggest democracy in the world, are we even prepared for it?

Are we doing our homework right? What are we referring to for getting our facts aligned?

When I say, I'm updated about the information around my world I just mean I read newspaper, I read magazines, I've subscribed to the news channels, or I'm listening to the radio. But, how precise has it remained in today's world, specially in the political realm and the equations around that?

We should always keep in mind that the mass-media outlets are large companies which are operated for profit. This means that mainstream news across the world is susceptible to a business deal.

Network18 Group, one of the biggest broadcaster of India, is owned by Reliance Industries which is dependent on government policies. Zee News, again a big news giant, is owned by Subhash Chandra who is an MP and is backed by BJP. Republic TV again has a major investment by BJP parliamentarian. NDTV India was always a pro left-wing newschannel. AajTak, clearly visible as right-wing aligned. Sun TV, one of the most popular in south India, is driven by DMK. 

< I follow DD news for such information, which is my personal choice.>

Having mentioned all this, do I mean that it's something new or we should do something about these alignments. 

"No" for the news channels, but "Yes" for ourselves. We can definitely not do much about how the mainstream media are being fueled. But, we can surely be cognizant about it and be firm on our own observations about the political parties. The biggest democracy in the world can still be successful to some extent if we don't get influenced by any deceptive orchestrations. We can stick to our basics and just think about our constituency while voting (and not about Rahul Gandhi becoming out prime minister). Knowing that the major source information has ceased to be neutral, in case of confusion, we can go thru the headline of the manifesto (available on the election commission's website). 

The most important is to give back to the society. Educate them rightly. If possible, discuss and debate! Educate the sections with lower access to the right information who are more vulnerable to the manipulation of votes.

We can just work together to make a better society. As Michael Jackson rightfully said -

"Heal the world

Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race"

While getting to much indulged into your job role, don't forget that you have to be a good human being first.

Thanks!

P.S. This is mere a personal thought of mine and I'm still learning. Help me learn more and improvise @
