Re: NYT editorial on bihar election results
I have seen editorials on India in the past that predicted doom and gloom.
Secularism, my foot. Here is the main reason why Laloo (and Nitish) won: caste-based politics. About 25% of the elected MLAs are Yadavs!

The editors ignored the fact that Laloo is a convicted criminal.

So Modi/BJP/RSS should allow gangrapes of 100 hindu women, killing of 100 hindu men, 1000 cows/hr, and convict 100 hindus everytime muslims carry out Friday riots
so he/they can be recognized as "secularists"
The tragedy is 1 muslim = 1000 hindus = 3000 skihs, one killing of a muslim results in the defeat hindus.
Yes..when even educated non-Biharis nelieve there is widespread pakistani-style riot/killing/bombings are conducted by the RSS, that only shows intolerant crooks are effective.

If Modi had strongly condemned the killings - all in opposition ruled states - he would have been accused of interfering in State affairs (for the learned idiots here - Law & order is a state subject), and of course, Modi/BJP/RSS would have been accused of high-handedness and breaking the Federal structure.
