Are Indians voting based on informed reasoning and long-term national interest, or are Indians being influenced by emotion, identity, or short-term promises?

Socrates said that voting is a skill acquired by wisdom, knowledge and intellect and not intuition. Letting a citizen vote by birthright and without education is irresponsible and would lead to the corruption of society. So, all people should learn the skill of voting. He was also fearful about the creation of demagogues. He thought that political demagogues appeal to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than using rational arguments. He was one of the first persons to face the foolishness of voters as he was put on trial for corrupting the youth of Athens, and a jury of 500 Athenians decided by a narrow margin that he was guilty and so was put to death. Was he right or wrong? Do you agree that voting is a skill acquired by wisdom?
