Indian Elections - the real losers

For the fisrt time in many months I decided to visit Indian news sites on the internet as the election results poured in. I am not overjoyed at the results, but not unhappy either. The most striking of all that unraveled was how off-target the opinion and exit polls were. I can now laugh out loud at the media and its "know all" pretensions. In the last few years they have convinced themselves that internet is the medium to understand the pulse of India. This just showed how wrong that assumption was. Hope this would be a good lesson for them to understand the real India.
