Abstract
It is too early to make a detailed analysis of the general election for the 13th Lok Sabha. The proximate cause of Congress downfall are fairly obviou s. The Congress vision of the nation is incomplete, underdeterminate and in consistent in theory, and gravely dubious in practice. The BJP as a part of the Sangh parivar touches all aspects of our life. Its model of the nation is at variance with the true principles of Vedas. Yet it has potentially t remendous appeal to the caste-conscious, sanskritising Hindu masses. Not to o long ago you heard a chorus of lambs: Indira is India. Expect soon a kirt an of hanumans: India is Hindia.
