A TRIUMPH FOR DEMOCRACY IN INDIA

The world’s largest democracy has just concluded a massive election. A population of 1.2 billion people with a massive diversity of faiths, languages, ideologies and cultures in a country the size of a sub-continent successfully concluded this amazing feat. There was hardly any violence or vote rigging and some places recorded a turnout of over 80 per cent. The Indian intellectuals in this country who expressed their reservations (23 April) about the opposition winning the election will surely acknowledge the voice of the people?
