1 vote = 1 for all or 1 vote = 2 for some?

most problems in life are on account of inequality - actual or perceived. while the latter can be tackled easily, it is the existence of the former that is the real cause of worry and concern. i am not going to talk about the reason for the existence of differences amongst people, i am taking that as a given and am simply going to offer you my idea of a solution to a certain problem (which i shall just talk about) that exists because of this inequality that encompasses our society.

since it is election season in india and i do happen to be part of this nation, i am going to devote some of my time as well as yours (in case you read this that is) to make our nation a better democracy. 

india is a nation of a myriad differences. we are a billion plus nation of a billion different human beings, a million different languages, half a million religions, one of the biggest ranges of income brackets and last but far from being the least, the difference of sexes that nature has bestowed upon us. for someone like me living in the cities, a village environment and a villager is as much an alien as someone from timbuktu. my income, my habits, my education, my upbringing, my language - everything is long distant from my friend in solesandhi (some village...). apart from the fact that both of us do our ablutions in the morning everyday, i think almost everything else in our lives inside and outside is poles apart.

given that we are a nation of such diversity - such inequality for some - should we be treated equally? should we have equal rights? are we evolved enough to be treated like a meritorious society? 

isn't reservation of some form, on an economic basis according to me, required for us at this stage?

.... and simply stretching this, should not we have differential voting rights too - maybe a differential weightage depending upon our level of education?

just some food for thought.
