READ EACH AND EVERY WORD OF THIS ARTICLE BY TAVLEEN SINGH: ...After the election campaign began, I travelled in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra and made pit stops in Bhubaneswar and Kochi, and except in Kerala I saw signs of a Modi wave everywhere I went. But, when I returned to Delhi and reported this to colleagues, I found myself dismissed as a ‘Modi groupie’. With the exception of Rajat Sharma, there was not a single journalist who predicted what has now come to be, and for his pains he got labelled a ‘Modi groupie’. The rules of ‘secularism’ dictate that in India you can profess your loyalty to the dynasty, to thuggish caste leaders and even Stalinists, but try saying that you think Modi could bring real change to our shamefully backward country, and you become ‘communal’. indianexpress/article/opinion/columns/fifth-column-why-modi-won/99/
