World's Biggest Election Begins Today

India election begins as north-east's voters kick off world's largest poll

Over the coming weeks more than half a billion people are expected to visit 930,000 polling stations, all set up within two miles of their homes.

Election commission officials say they expect a high turnout – possibly around 65% – in the polls, which will steadily move across the country over five weeks, culminating in a fierce battle in the densely populated northern plains. The phased voting is imposed by the need to redeploy vast numbers of police and other officials to safeguard polling stations and candidates.

One major failure has been the government's inability to create jobs in a country where half of the population is under 25.

Yeah, I was just reading about the Indian population. It's pretty crazy reading the statistics. There will be a full fledge World takeover in 50 years at this rate.

MY OPINION ONLY. NO NEWS REPORT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Since India gets a lot of military support from Russia and Pakistan (probably) still hates us because of the mimitary operation there...I suspect the US is not real popular in that area.

I thought Pakistan and India hated each other, like on the verge of Nuking each other. I thought the US was well liked. It seems their military has a mixed bag of US and Russian machinery.
