'Tis Election Time, Folks

India is in the midst of its biggest festival - the general elections. And this time the battle is really dirty. Helped by the internet and social media, untruths, slanders, allegations all are floating around in this political cesspool. And a campaign which started on the planks of "development", "anti-corruption" & "empowerment" has now turned into slew of  "hate speeches", "communalism" and slander.

And in the midst of all this comes this awesome rap campaign video by Javed Jaffery.


One may not agree to his political leanings but the video sums up all the issues facing the country as well as anyone can. The issues are laid bare but again no solution to counter them is presented. Yet the video for all the negativity it shows does bring about a whiff of fresh air in this increasingly brutal and dirty campaign
