Read this informative article on the upcoming general election.
http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displayStory.c fm?story_id=2594445
This statistically rich article is both humorous and hard hitting! For instance look at this paragraph(s)
Example of the humor in it:
"Charged with ensuring a fair election is the fiercely independent Election Commission. The politicians seem intent on finding new ways of breaking the rules. Late last month, for example, Vijai Sharma, the chief electoral officer of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, banned an 11-tonne sweet. An activist in the state capital, Lucknow, wanted to offer the world's biggest Indian laddoo at a temple, for the good health of India's prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee. Since Mr Vajpayee is the local member of parliament and standing for re-election, Mr Sharma ruled that the laddoo had to be seen as part of his campaign. The electoral code bars the use of places of worship for campaigning."
Hard hitting stance:
" The state is a case study in many of the ills besetting Indian politics: not just of constituencies handed down like family heirlooms; but also of venal, sometimes thuggish and often outright criminal candidates; of parties appealing not on the basis of policies but of narrow regional or caste interests; of coalitions formed not out of like-minded ideologies but out of naked power-seeking."
