All Indian adults have voting rights. Do you propose to snatch the existing democratic rights from "illiterates". One needs common sense to vote, not the knowledge earned by reading few books. Is it not strange that the so called literates are the ones who do not vote and rather use the day for a vacation. The illiterate voters have shown so much maturity time and again right from 1977 onwards that the great political pundits and politicians of all hues have to bow to them. Remember, all the politicians loot the exchequer only with the connivance and active help of civil servants and other officers who are all very highly educated. The key issue is low morals and not literacy.

Yes, of course. Illetrate also have their rights and needs according to thier living standerd and can vote for their expactations from the GOV. Illetrate can be farmer, driver or even leader also can be an illetrate... Than What they can understand their responsibilty and can expact from condidates according to thier needs...

There is not much of a difference between the two.On many occasions many illiterate have proved their supremacy over the so called literates.

No one is illetrate now a days. given a chance and proper direction no one is illetrate. Even when we say we are literate whom we are selecting ?? they should be given chance to vote afterall they are citizen of india's too.

"Inclusive Growth", "Social Inclusion", etc. are the metaphors politicians use in order to keep the flocks together to keep them in bay from the literates for vote bank politics! How long do we keep them illiterates? Lalu ji did it so long as he ruled Bihar, now Nitish ji is reversing the trend! Democracy survives on free and fair polls making people to select their own leaders. We have very fine system of conducting elections, with the statutory status of Election Commission, but the people who run the system are mostly on the sides of arm twisters. What we really need to look at is every politician who get elected should be allowed to continue purely based on the performance and the promises made at the time of elections. This performance appraisal should be conducted by an unbiased agency under the supervision of an Apex Court every year! If that is done, almost 80-90% of the existing politicians would lose their position. We are signatory to the Millenium Development Goal, and the Government of India has resolved to raise the literacy rate to almost 100% by 2015. Where are we now?

Yes, why not? If government need to be elected by/for/of the people, then where in the constitution of India, is it written that they should be elected by literate people only. Any Indian citizen over 18 yrs, be it literate/illiterate is eligible to vote. And, if you think the govt. is gaining votes from the illiterates, then do your bit to make them literate. Dont ask what the govt. can do for you, do what you can for the govt. The votes will gradually tilt towards the deserving people.

DO NOT GET CONFUSED between illiterate and un-educated. Most of these illiterate people are 'more-educated' than you and me put together. We were lucky to get some opportunities.

So U also a member of illiterate family right.... Illiterate is a stage were people doesnt know anything they are new... It does not mean they are affected from disease or something so they are always put in back... Just think of a situation wen your family has financial problem & they cant give u proper education ...& u are illiterate wat will ur answer to this question... I just want to tell, that people (litterate)should not forget the ways were he has come from. Do u knw why Indians are knwn for its hospitality(caring people) because We have humanty, we give value to human as well as living thing. Have you guys ever thought how they feel, they feel like Us... From My view I say that people like us (litterate) should study from them(illiterates).... I am proud to be an Indian.. My country give right to freedom, & equality to all...... Education is not enough for life my dear,, we need experience in life for surviving..Which illiterats have.Do u aware u work for your living but those illiterats works for us, for us to survive,, have u ever thought if they here not here wat can happen to us, will u go & work in farm as they do ? or u do all those works which they do? We should learn, puntual,humanity, hard working from them.... So u really thinks your great forfathers are really STUPID my dear friend.... Concider others let it be an litterate or illiterate people as human , give value their life, respect others so that u will also get the same respect.... Thers is an request to Mr. Khushnood think befor you write such negative words in a public place.... & It is not a mistake we are fullfilling the duty of a human....I am so sorry to say you have education but dont have respect for others.............

If any one is not educated, I can not treat him as illiterate.It is a matter of wisdom, thinking power and IQ. A persons understands the effect on his routine life by voting any person can definitely give vote to a candidate to whom he considers fit.

Yes, they are the part of this Democracy and they have as equal right as to any literate.there should be no bias on the base of a person's education whether he/she can exercise his/her very right to vote and select the candidate of their own choice.The other interesting thing is, in INDIA we don't have exemplary cases of an illiterates's incompetency in the job(govt.) and a literates's fair work.Anyone can be corrupt and has nothing to concern with a candidates's or voter's eduction level.At least we have hoard of corrupt beurocrates who clear toughest exams in INDIA to cheat the mass, the people of this country, to slap this thought of debarring illitrates peolple for exercising their right to vote.

Yes, in democracy or in democratic govt as we have in INDIA ,there should be no bias on the bases of eduction of a person to excersise the very right of vote to any citizen.AS far as candidat's worth and development of country is concerned ,here in INDIA we don't have any exceptional cases of an illiterates's corruption and a literate's fair job.The literacy rate in INDIA is still less as compared to other countries and majority of these people decide the fate of govt in every general election.These illiterate people are the people who go to exercise their right and it shows that they are well aware of their right and think about govt.These are the people who suffer most ,live in tyranny,face most of the corruption and femine.They should vote without fear and decide their own future,then only they can claim their share in this country's future good or bad. as this country is progressing and some good examples of commitment to grow despite corruption we are seeing so , can say at that point the illitrates are also giving thought to the rule(govt) and thinking for their upliftment.At last , i would like to conclude that it's the person's intuition not his/her education who works for constructive/distructive causes for the mass, for the country, for the poor.

why illiterate people should not have right to vote, an illiterate person understand what is wrong for them and what is right for them, who is doing good for them and who is doing wrong to them, See the eg. of Bihar, Nitish repeats success because people understands the language of development, for that they need eyes to see, that is what majority illiterate people of Bihar did in election, also if we see either of Assembly or legislature % vote of illiterate is always more than the literate people, they even don't come out for vote, this shows what literates are doing for change of society.

Illitrate should not be given a voting rights. Actually whats happening during elections, the political parties bribe the people with some kind of gifts and the people will vote to the person without knowing the background and capacity of the canditate. They elect the person who gives more valuable gifts during election. so government should try this one time by banning the voting rights for illiterates.

Nikhil, we are a democracy which does not understand the true meaning of democracy... when u will start earning, u ll realise your hard earned money is taxed which in turn is siphoned to the 'democratic' leaders and bureaucrats in the form of scam, instead of developing the infrastructure or the economy... Unless a country is dictated, people never realise the essence of democracy... In fact we should stop giving voting rights to people who have not passed their high schools.
