Millennials turning a political corner, hopefully!!
A few years ago I had asked a very senior politician in India, "Why are people of my generation so disinterested in Politics"? and he said, "It's the same for every generation, there will always be people who are not interested". For something that is so pertinent in your day to day life, it is undeniably surprising that such few people know about their politicians and governance. Globalisation and Technology have allowed people from different backgrounds and places to get in touch and know the changing landscape in every corner of the world. The previous generation did not have this opportunity, therefore as millennials, we are the first of our kind to this type of access. If you are paying tax, you should ask questions. The fact that individuals know so little about their MP's and MLA's in India is disheartening. Every 5 years, the system gives you an opportunity to vote for one person that you believe will serve you to the best
