It has been a historic election verdict which confirmed the maturing of the Indian voter to some extent.He has rejected exclusive religiosity, casteism, regional satraps and poverty distributing ideas of communism.
In 1952, when the first election was held, 85 % of the electorate was illiterate and we needed symbols in the ballot paper.It still continues.But the voter at least now knows what he shoul avoid.
"Left" has left the political space and have acknowledged their own irrelevance.As a replacement the new ruling dispensation need to move a bit more towardas the poor and underprivileged to occupy that space.
As MJ Akbar, put it beautifully, "India is not a secular nation because Indian Muslims want it, but because Indian Hindus want it." The splinter parties with their megalomaniac leaders will no more find acceptance and that will be good for the polity.Divisive politics of hatred is weakened and deservve to be destroyed.The Nation, now understands where it need to go and this is great indeed.
