So Narendra Modi and the BJP won in Gujarat. While not that surprised, I was, well, not happy.
I am, however, rather startled by the kind of jubilant reactions I'm seeing even in the Indian blogosphere in reponse to this victory. Modi as the Prime Minister of India? Seriously? Good God. [I'd like to add at this point that I disagree with most of the list in that post. Thank you.]
It almost comes as a relief to read one or two blogs actually expressing discontent at Modi's victory.

Yes, we live in a democracy. I started 2007 by having strong doubts about the Indian population's sanity when Aap ka Suroor became a hit (no, I haven't seen the movie, and no I have no intention of ever seeing it, thank you for asking). I'm ending the year convinced that there's something seriously wrong with our nation and the way we think and behave.
I really need to figure out how to highlight links in my posts.

eh? you want me to comment on politics? I try to distance myself from them... depressing.
And your blogs have too many links...am I here to read blog or read links? huh? huh?
Also, I don't like this business of comments in a new window. messy... too many tabs.
okay, I'm done cribbing for now.
