The closest India had to rightwing pragmatism was the Swatantrata party of Rajaji-it was the largest Non-Congress party in the 60s,before clearing that space for the likes for the Communists,Jan Sangh or assorted socialists.
I am not familiar with that party but no wonder it ceased to exist in a diverse country that fancies mob rule like India.
See Sukhoi, dont you see the futility of having universal suffrage in a country like India now ?
I bet most of our illiterate countrymen could care less if even half of India gets nuked out by Islamist radicals in future. They will still continue to vote for their BJP, BSP, Congress, Communist and other such scumbag politicians who are morally corrupt by rule rather than exception. Simply because they dont even know what is happening in one part of the country.
Is it too much to ask to ONLY let those people who have the ability to absorb information and logically interpret a sequence of current events, than every john doe who is eligible to vote simply due to him being physically older than 18 yrs of age.
Most illiterate bums from the BIMARU states dont even know what happened in Hyderabad.. hell why go there, bet even those in AP wouldnt know what happened in Hyderabad. And they keep making wrong decisions that cost the lives of Indians.
