It’s election time in India. Any thing happening is news. It ranges from training villagers in voting with the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) to how someone have to trek 10km to reach the nearest polling booth to cast their vote.
Today’s main national daily (The Hindu) carried this picture and the news item.
For those who are having the classic doubt “Do Indians travel on elephants??” has the answer at last with picture evidence!
This is the only country to get rid of the paper ballot and gone electronic at an unprecedented scale (670 million voters). No mess of long counting (and recounting!).The national results are out at the click of a few buttons. But still the good old elephants are required to carry it around ( at least at the jungle areas).India has her own ways to amuse and confuse people.
