Indian General Election

It if it doesn't lift people out of poverty and increase social mobility then it is irrelevant. Parts of those manifestos look promising in this respect. Of course what matters is what happens in practice.

meh, if they've got FPTP then it won't matter that much, just like in this country

Didn't India have an election a couple months ago?

India is nothing like the UK?

Your post has confused me...

no I was talking about their federal electoral system for the lower house (FPTP)

Oh I see.

I thought you meant it doesn't make a difference who is voted for...

well that can be the case, especially for safe seats

Would I be correct in assuming you have some background knowledge on Indian politics/social/economic issues?

nah, I just vote of their voting system, I don't know about their politics

trust you to start this!!!

where is acidwiredheart?????

hmmm.......

then the USA will be like yo!!

Had to be me!

Modi violent? Like invading other countries?

lol yep!

some will have had it if you know what I mean!!

Dear cupcakes, I'm afraid you have been hurt by the propaganda.

or the drugs you recommended!!!



we'll find out soon enough!

Modi won't be starting any wars lol. Pakistan have more to lose in a war than we do, they would (if they are still governed by their brains) not engage in such futility.

Modi has got a bad rap for the 2002 riots, but in a democratic nation he has been cleared of wrongdoing multiple times. I don't like some of his personality streaks either. But I frankly care little for one specific minority, I care about the largest number of people Modi can help.

I guarantee, Modi will do FAR more for Muslims than any Congress PM who insult Muslims with Hajj subsidies and treat them like flocks of sheep when it comes to election time.

Gujarat is an exemplary state, evidenced by the fact that the so called 'oppressed' are more well of than their non-oppressed brothers and sisters up and down Bharat. Even if you went to Gujarat, Muslims will vote for and support Modi because he provides real change on the ground.

Sikhs, Buddhist and Jains need to be recognised in the constitution, it's an embarrassment that they aren't. Even if I see all three as extensions of Vedic religion, they themselves do not and it must be respected.
