Connected by vote and hope (S. Ravi, Anuj Kumar, South Asia Monitor)

It is said our land of birth keeps calling us. From Rabindranath Tagore’s short story “Kabuliwala” to Ashutosh Gowariker’s film "Swades" literature and cinema have underlined it. Neither distance nor long absence diminishes the interest. Like the Indian Diaspora still reaches out to its homeland during elections, migrants from different states of the country, who moved out in search of livelihood and education, also remain hooked to the dance of democracy in their native states
