Bid goodbye to the way things have been in India's politics. Whatever his tally finally, Narenda Modi will have risen as India’s preeminent political personality.
Narendra Modi, a divisive and polarising figure, is as much a candidate of the Congress as the BJP: it is just that one is trying to make him win, and the other to make him lose.
A party will win or lose the next election depending on whether it can dump some of its awful, outdated and politically suicidal basic instinct or not.

Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
