So better would keep the head on the shoulders

A stock index which increased by 20 in one day to the point where it is necessary to block the trade This was not seen for a long time, but it is what is passed to the Bombay Stock Exchange in the wake of the publication of the results of the Indian elections.

One can understand this euphoria, because this vote means a revolution silent in this country. It opens the way to five years of political stability and economic reforms. So, better would keep the head on the shoulders. The complexity of the reforms to be implemented will not disappear by a stroke of magic wand. And nothing says that Indian political class is up to the issues.

Opportunities to celebrate being rare in these times of recession, it would nevertheless be damage to show his pleasure with a reassuring verdict of the ballot box. While everyone feared a result fragmented, it has been, on the contrary, Frank and massive. While the scenario of a strong rise of regional parties poses a threat to the cohesion of the Union of India, voters preferred keeping a national vision at the time their ballot in the ballot box. Finally, the defeat of the main opposition party of right, the BJP, is good news. Although it has less emphasis on his original nationalism in the last election campaign, this party has never really denied the radical component. Evidenced by the passage of relay that: whereas Lal Krishna Advani, the leader of the BJP, seems to stay because its 81 spring, rising star of the party is none other than Narendra Modi. His act of birth in policy The instructions he had given to the police in 2002: not to intervene during the massacres that had cost the lives of more than 2,000 Muslims.

Taking little by little their distance with the xenophobic and populist speeches, but also giving a big slap to the Marxist parties, voters have thus proven that they preferred the Progressivism moderate to the lyric promises of tomorrow singing. Otherwise put, they come to demonstrate their democratic maturity.

More reason to regret that their leaders are not far! This is the first flat in ambient enthusiasm. What is distant is usually reduced to a few schematic visions, Indian politicians often comes in the spirit of the West, face calm and nice to the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh. Unfortunately, this man actually competent and faultless appears to be the tree that hides the forest of Indian politics. He had ambition to reform the methods of financing of political life, to put an end to corrupt system rooted in morals, had to abandon his project: even in his party, he found himself well isolated on this issue. As summarised in an Indian familiar with arcane power, "in this country, each Member is paid by a company." "He forgets to serve or use". Not to mention the proven criminals who sit in Parliament. Opportunism, cynicism and selfishness: such actually appear to be the main ingredients of success in politics. Same Mayawati, political icon who often seduced the Western media, that she is a woman and an untouchable, is suspected of embezzlement of funds and has nothing of the little mother of the poor that some have wanted to see it. In India, the policy is a business. Say one of the most lucrative.

The second flat concerns the economy. The Bombay Stock Exchange has responded well, of course. Because of the debacle of the extreme left, the business community are betting that blocked reforms, recent years, the Communists will be able to be implemented. There is the expectation of economic liberalization. It should not be forgotten, however, that Congress was elected on an essentially social program. And that it is he who has recovered much of the electors of the Communists. Of course, the political infighting in Parliament will be less violent than before. But the agenda of reforms is also difficult to implement. Perhaps more to the point where economic growth is at its lowest in six years. The result of the elections is the best thing which is arrived at the India for a long time. But it does improve inefficient governance, or a more than challenging global macroeconomic environment.
