Pleasantly surprised by the Indian election results. The sadhugiri was getting a little too overwrought towards the end, so this sounds to me like the electorate calling bullshit on the religious theatrics.

I won’t be so optimistic about the indian electorate, hehe. India is still a 65 percent rural country I think. What I gathered was that Yogi Adityanath was sidelined in UP and he is even a bigger sadhu. And most losses have come from there.

Either way, at least it looks like a democracy again. Was starting to look like a theocracy like Iran.

I think adityanath supporters will gain ground next cycle if he also wins the assembly elections there, so I guess India is stuck with them until UP GDP crosses $5000
