Bump for history and world politics. The situation in India right now is one of the most fascinating socio-political-economic developments anywhere in the world. It's too bad most people aren't the least bit interested in the news outside of their country.
I'm still wondering about this win for the socialists. I heard they really don't have much of a domestic plan except to punish businesses, and they don't have much of a foreign policy plan either, but are historically pro-Russian, pro-Chines, anti-Pakistani (even more than the old party), and anti-American.
