Why Political Awareness is Critical for a Thriving Democracy

By Parthapratim Dash

The Importance of Political Engagement for a Strong and Just Society

Political interest is an important aspect of a democratic society. It is the responsibility of every citizen to educate themselves about political issues and participate in the political process. This includes participating in elections, advocating for political causes, and engaging with elected officials.

If citizens do not take an active interest in politics, the consequences can be dire. Politicians may make decisions that harm the public without any accountability, leading to a lack of trust in government institutions. This can result in a breakdown of the social contract between citizens and the government, which undermines the stability of the country.

Moreover, neglecting political interest can result in the neglect of important social and economic issues. For example, if citizens do not speak out about environmental protection, the government may not prioritize this issue and the environment may suffer as a result. This can have serious implications for the health and well-being of future generations.

Furthermore, the lack of political engagement can result in a lack of representation for marginalized communities. If certain groups do not participate in the political process, their voices may not be heard and their needs may not be met. This can result in discrimination and inequality, which can have far-reaching consequences for society as a whole.

In conclusion, it is crucial that every citizen takes an active interest in politics and participates in the political process. This helps to ensure that the government is accountable, that important social and economic issues are addressed, and that marginalized communities are represented. By engaging with politics, citizens can help to build a better future for themselves and for generations to come.


Note: It is important to emphasize that political engagement does not mean blindly following or trusting any politicians or political party. Political interest involves being informed and taking an active role in the political process, not necessarily aligning with a particular ideology or group. To make unbiased decisions and engage in fair and fact-based criticism, citizens must think independently and critically. This type of engagement can create a positive impact for a better tomorrow.


This blog post explores the importance of political interest and engagement for every citizen in a democratic society. It highlights the consequences of neglecting political issues, the benefits of being politically informed, and the role of political awareness in ensuring government accountability. The post also emphasizes the importance of independent political thought and participation in creating a better future for generations to come.

The Reality Behind NCH Complaints for Products Sold Above MRP Online

By Parthapratim Dash
Recently, I came across something that truly shocked me—and as a conscious consumer, it was hard to ignore. A well-known Indian newspaper, available in print for ₹9 (clearly printed on the physical copy), was being sold on its official digital platform in PDF format for ₹25 . That's almost three times the printed MRP! Curious and concerned, I immediately contacted the customer support number listed on their site. I asked why the online version was priced more than the printed MRP. The response? “It’s a management decision.” No further explanation . I then checked their Terms and Conditions, Privacy Polic y —every legal and consumer protection section you'd expect from a responsible platform. To my surprise, they were all blank or missing .  So, I took the next logical step. I dialed 1915 , the National Consumer Helpline (NCH), to file a formal complaint. I explained my issue in detail. The executive assured me that the complaint would be taken seriously and action would be ...

UPI Addicted? Think Before Accepting Online Payments Randomly

By Parthapratim Dash
🔔 Reminder: Think twice before randomly accepting UPI or other online payments.   ⚠️ There’s no proper way to verify if the sender’s digital payment is clean or fraud-free. If any disputed or fraudulent funds end up in your account—even without your knowledge—you could get dragged into legal issues, including account freezes. 🚫 Also, avoid transferring funds between your own multiple bank accounts or family accounts if the fund source is coming from multiple senders or unclear origins. If there’s any chance of fraud-linked money involved, once such funds are triggered, all connected accounts may get frozen. ✅ Always be prepared: 📌 Keep records of every digital transaction—receipts, agreements, bills, or any kind of supporting documents. 📌 Applies to both individuals and businesses. 📌 Say NO to accepting UPI/online transfers in exchange for cash from unknown people. Also, avoid unauthorized fund transfer facilities such as some cyber cafes, where many onl...
