It’s been a good 24 hrs (the market crashed and my relatives lost money but that’s what they get for betting on a fascist. I’ve been happily dancing and drinking from thousands of miles away.)

Me too! Some worrying things in the results but that’s for later. The overwhelming feeling is just relief at the moment. Democracy in India is not dead, which I’m so so glad to have been wrong about.
And it was the classes/castes/religions who were oppressed the most who kicked BJP out of its majority in its supposed strongholds.
Absolutely agree with you. Seeing the rightward lurch in India using the same racist rhetoric as Trump was really concerning. Fuck all nation states that use religion as an excuse to oppress people. Looking at you India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, USA... Theocratic states are stupid
