I did not see a similar article in Asian Voice like the one in Gujarat Samachar in CB’s column ‘Jivanpanth’.
The Indian electorate has finally come out of the caste or creed barrier as was amply observed in the elections in Uttar Pradesh. With 20% Muslims, 22 Dalits and 18 from the so called ‘OBC’ - Other Backward Classes - sadly Uttar Pradesh had been deep in the caste and creed quandry.
This election, with huge support for the BJP, makes me proud I was born in East Africa with parents from India. If the Modi government and the new UP government in Uttar Pradesh can fulfill their electoral promises of maintaining law and order, progress for all without any bias and due care of women, elderly people, farmers and the younger generation then India has a very bright future.
India is not just a thought. It is there! 20% of the world’s population lives in India. People, both in India and abroad, are hopefully confident that Narendra Modi will take India to the same level as he has done as Chief Minister of Gujarat over 12 years.
Long live India! Long live Great Britain!
