Meghnad Desai loves to cook, watch and write about old Bollywood movies and shuttles between London, Delhi and Goa. He pursues controversies on economics, history and anything else which catches his attention. He is also a British parliamentarian sitting in the House of Lords. He has written over 25 books, over 200 articles in learned journals and hundreds of newspaper columns in UK and India.
Out of my mind: New hegemonic order set to take over
It could be that the high significance of this election has at last sunk in. Not since the days of Congress hegemony (1947-1971) has the result been a foregone conclusion, as it is now.
India is the largest democracy in the world. When elections come, it is also the noisiest. It may be that what the political leaders think in their privacy is out in the open as the excitement grips the contestants. Every prejudice against women, OBCs, Muslims, Dalits tumbles out, defying the ability of the Election Commission (EC) to keep track.
