India is changing. This election has shown that caste matters much less now than in the coalition years of 1989 to 2014. This is why the gathbandhan in UP proved to be less successful than its partner parties had hoped.

It has been a surprising, transformative result. On May 23, 2019, Nehru-Gandhi Yuga ended and Modi Yug began. The precise timing will have to be adjusted ex post. The changeover is not in doubt. This is the first time since Indira Gandhi’s win in 1971 that an incumbent has renewed a single-party majority. The BJP vote share exceeded 50% in a dozen states.
