Be genius and spend your time behind the bar

India went with Electronic voting machine before western countries. And we are able to count and declare results in a day. As a techy I was happy with EVM. I thought EVM like any other software/hardware has gone through its testing. However couple of people claimed it can be tampered. And they were asked to proof their hypothesis without giving access to the EVM.

How will one prove that EVM can be tampered without having access to one? I am unable to understand it. Hari prasad proved that EVM can be tampered. So he has done a good job in showing the flaw in our existing process. He could have sold his research to political party and earn millions. In stead of that he told it in public in front of media.

What did he get in return? He along with his research team are arrested. EC which challenged Hari Prasad along with others to prove that EVM can not be tampered has not taken any corrective action yet. I am not sure if EC going to use EVM which can be tampered in future election or will go back to ballot. EC has not made any statement in this regard.

I thought Hari prasad should have awarded for his brilliancy or should be called for some position which needs good knowledge on security etc. Rather he was punished. It made a bad precedent and people will prefer to use their knowledge in black market (like selling the research to political party) than making it public.

Election Commission: Ati sarvatra Garhitam.

Ati sarvatra garhitam (too much is always bad). It applies for the EC India. I am proud to be Indian. I am proud of democracy in India. I am proud of neutral EC and the way election is conducted in India. However EC has crossed limit and now trying to show their power at lots of places where things were better without their intervention.

Whenever there is an election, government stops all the development work as it may tamper the voters' mindsets. There are lots of election (panchayat, state, centre, municipality) etc. So the government stops its development program for atleasst 5% of the time (6 months in 5 year). So lots of wastage of money and low return on Investment.

Recently EC has asked Odisha government not to celebrate Utkal Dibas. What does they know about it? Will they dare to stop independence day celebration for election? Why do they stop celebrating Utkal divas? Is it not too much of control? How do they know what is close to us and what is not?

In the recent Varun gandhi controversy EC has asked BJP not to file varun gandhi. How can Ec reccomend whom to file and whom not?

Mosquitoes in Katak are dangerous and need to be treated carefully. So Katak Municipal corporation needs to clean the drains and kill the mosquitoes in Summer before it is too late (rainy season). EC has asked not to do any work in Katak.

I understand EC needs to ensure impartial election and stop the program which may alter the outcome. But why do anybody care about an election if election ensures her problem remains unsolved. EC needs to act in a more inclusive approach and need to emphasize with public.
