Elections in India Hmm atlast my country[India] has gone through another election and has thrown up quite a few surprises. Personaly I feel that Sri Vajpey had done a really good job during his term and cant understand why he had to loose. Perhaps there is truth in the analysis that it was the urban - rural divide that brought about his government's downfall; that and the Gujrath tragedy. What ever it is, I fail to see any leaders in the current winners who is man[woman?] enough to fill his shoes.
While I do not have any problem with the foreign origin of Sri. Sonia Gandhi, I do feel embarrassed by the fact that a great organisation the congress was during the early 20th centuary should be destroyed to such an extant that there is no capable leader amoung them who is able to take the up mantle on their own capasity.
Perhaps it is because of us being a democracy that the subtler benefits of governance are often forgotten in the shrill voice of short term effects.  ¶ 9:39 PM
