Getting the Vote, but not Faces, Out

On line to cast their ballots

I think it's great when a country allows its populace to vote.

These ladies are on line in the Shangus Anantnag region of India to cast their votes despite the fact that separatists and rebels were urging voters to stay home, claiming that voting only strengthened India's hold over the primarily Muslim region.

There is something refreshing about these women voting even though they have been urged not to do so, and yet their rebellion does not reach to their religious beliefs and blind obedience to Islam.
