India is a very fascinating country in many political ways. India is the world's largest democracy with a size of over 3 times the United States. Right now, New Delhi is holding assembly polls to elect new representatives, and the turn out is higher than ever. Four years ago the turn out was just over 57%, while this year the turn out has skyrocketed to to around 67%. Many Indian citizens are in a moment to free a "corrupt India". Two parties are fighting for spots in the India Congress and this is being seen as a historic poll in India history because there has been no violence, and there has been record turn outs.
Do you think that India is finally understanding Gandhi's views on nonviolence because they aren't fighting over politics anymore?
Why do you think turn outs for the election have gone up so much?
