Status quo on one thing will be nice, though. In a few months, India will choose a government. If either the Congress or the BJP manage to create a workable coalition, we can be reasonably assured that governance will continue on an even keel, insulated from excessive political manoeuvring. There is also greater consensus than previously, at least between the two big parties, on the truly pressing issues. Worldwide, 2009 is the year of aftermath. It is the sober morning after. As solutions are sought for last year’s havoc, India can draw cheer from feeling somewhat surer about itself.
