I did NOT (shame on me) and I am not sure how do I?
There are probably million Indians ( not sure of number) who are spread across the world due to their nature of work or personal choice, but are Indian citizens who do not get to participate in the biggest democratic event in the world, and the only way to hope for ‘change’.
I am surprised that how political parties can be ignorant of this so called NRI population, which can be very instrumental not only in the progress of country by voting and help choose right best possible leaders parties, but also by contributing to all the spheres of lives due to their exposure.
Please guide me if I am being ignorant of any processes already set in place for NRIs to participate in Indian democracy OR leave a comment below sharing how you feel when you get to lead by set of people you never got a chance to elect.

This evening I received a friend request on facebook from a unknown person with a message which reads like this
“We hope to garner your support to bring about hoped for change in upcoming election through PrajaRajyam & educating public.
Pl join us & let us know how we can make this change. Look forward to your participation.Best wishes,
S Kanaparthi.”
Looks like things are changing in India, at least, politicians. They might not know the exact website number but I am sure they have started realizing and monetizing potential of these new generation tools.
Obama won this USA presidential election with his promise to change United states. His folks left no stone unturned get the word ‘change’ across the states. Be it using twitter, Facebook, website or even in-game advertisement.
Now its turn for Indian politicians to change too..
Prime ministerial candidate from BJP Mr. L. K. Advani has his website , facebook account too.
I am wondering if someone in India is using technology to track promises made by our politicians. Checkout this one for Obama called Obameter.
Hope there is ‘real’ change happening in India.
November4
A big change is in offing here in USA and I am sure this would be a great overall change for USA and world.
Its no less than a man landing on the moon for the first time..
Glued to TV witnessing this change…
Update: here comes the change. Barack Obama is USA’s first African-American president. Starts with a spectacular speech!
October8
Looks like Obama.
Its really wild guess from me, especially because I am new here in USA and don’t know much about politics in USA, and don’t have rights to vote
Its just a hunch and few reasons:
1- He is young.
2- People seems to be looking for the change, and Obama seems to be different because of his origin.
3- He seems to be calm and answering questions logically
4- Current government has spent around 700 billion USD in recent wars with Iraq, which is followed by economic crisis.
Only odd I find is probably his experience handling big issues, but I am sure there would be so many people out there in president’s office, who would guide him to take decision.
Lets see, November 4th is the date of elections.
