A very touching personal moment for me, and India, was when Deshapriya announced the results in the presence of the incoming president and prime minister holding my book, An Undocumented Wonder: the Making of the Great Indian Election, and quoting Gopal Gandhi’s sentence — among the many great things that India has, three are most important: the Taj Mahal, Mahatma Gandhi and an electoral democracy. Deshapriya prayed that the Indian model would be emulated and pleaded for constitutional powers like his Indian counterparts’. S. Y. Quraishi
