Yes, indeed 6 years of NDA's rule has restored honour and pride in hearts of Indians. For all fears the liberals and moderates had about BJP reining in hindutva based fundamentalism in India proved wrong and mis-calculated. Minus the so-called Gujarat 'carnage' for which one cannot hold NDA responsible (Modi was to be blamed) there was not much that the nation lost during this time. It was a time of immense change, when people begun to be confident in who they are and the economy went from one strength to another. It heralded a new setup which even after 3 years of change of leadership has remained robust and steady. We need governance based on practicality and innovation, based on openness of mind and ability to take risks .... something that the ailing congress is eventually going to fail to deliver. the only thing one can say about the congress govt. is that you cannot flog a dead horse.
I am a Hindu myself, but I wouldnt support the idea of having a hindu-only form of government, we need to look beyond our bigotry and petty-mindedness and have an outlook which is inclusive tolerant and progressive.

yeah..more tolerant and progressive..what that actually means is that hindus should bend down so that all the riff-raff of the world can step on us and kick us in the back..try telling Saudi Arabia not to have a 'Muslim-only' government..tolerance is not a game to be played only by one community..wonder why only Hindus have to be 'progressive and tolerant'

And are you prepared to have the same level of human rights, entertainment options and justice system as those living in Saudi Arabia enjoy?
Its always a trade off !! Somethings that we have taken for granted is because of our secular, democratic, progressive & inclusive structure that we have adopted.

I fully agree with you buddy. The 6 years NDA RULE, restored the Indian pride.
NDA WAS able to achieve, what Congress rule of nearly 50 years of rule failed to achieve.
Infrastructure improved and the economy galloped.
Congress rule was more or less corrupt and held back the nation.
BJP has shown us what it is to be an Indian and the nationalist feelings had reached the zenith.

REALLLY! Then what was the reason that sensex was stuck below 6000 mark during the complete span of NDA rule and only with congress led alliance its now hovering around 14000-15000. Do you really think that MNCs and FIIs are investing in INDIA bcoz business policies are less conducive or more conducive under congress as compared to BJP led NDA govt. Come on guyz look at the wider picture, We need the best infrastructure possible in order to grow as fast as possible (ideally faster than CHINA and as a matter of fact if you want have a look at chinese news on this issue, you would learn that how glad china is by this turmoil bcoz it knows that this is hampering INDIA's progress overall)as a nation & as an economy to become a real financial super power and not just a super power in terms of N Bombs like pakistan. The choice is upto us, wheather we would like to back govt like UPA which is daring to go ahead with such a deal and putting india on the right foot in order to enable india with all the infrastructure to achieve the fastest and maximum growth possible OR govt like NDA which is so conservative in its outlook and would never go ahead with such a deal and therefore would hold back india in terms of infrasture implemention and hence its growth. I AM ENDORSING CONGRESS WITHOUT EVEN A SLIGHTEST DOUBT TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS AND WOULD ALWAYS ENDORSE THEM UNTIL THEY WALK THIS RIGHT PATH OF INDIA'S PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS AND ARE WILLING TO TAKE PROPOTIONATE RISKS FOR THE CAUSE.

because of people getting deceived by old-school-British-style deception of congress. They are still going to fool us if our lot remains ignorant uneducated and poverty-stricken.
