Yesterday was a big day in India. Two events happened on a single day. Whether they are an eventful event or just a passing day, only time will tell
Event1:
Death for Delhi rape convicts. After looong time, our courts have given verdict within one year. While such judgement give a slight hope in our judicial system, there are still many hurdles out there. As per my laymans knowledge of our judicial system,the accused have 3 months to appeal in high court. The high court will take the case and once it confirms the sentence, which will happen most likely, they can again appeal in supreme court within 3 months. After supreme court, the case will go to President. Please note that the president is not obliged to act on it within any time frame. So, justice is good 2-3 years away by any conservative estimate.
Event 2:
The BJP has announced Modi as its PM candidate. People are rejoicing as though he has become PM already. If facebook and twitter users are to be believed, BJP will will all the 300 seats it will contest(yes, they contest only 300 of 542 seats!) However, most of these users usually don't vote (i hereby declare humbly that i have not voted even once in my lifetime even though i plan to cast my vote next time) . Before pakistan general elections, the whole of facebook and twitter was going ga-ga over Imran khan, quoting him as the next BIG thing in pakistan. A couple of western journals even called him the next Obama. In the end, he could only become Twitter PM and his party could get only 18 % votes. Verdict: Online popularity doesn't guarantee any thing,atleast till now in Indian politics.
In movie Enthiran, Vasee's(rajnikanth's) professor on seeing the robot gaining human feelings, will tell Dr.vasee, 'You have did the wrong thing by giving human feelings to this robot'. Everybody will laugh but his words will come true later in the movie. Read the same story, replacing Dr.Vaseegaran by Modi and his professor by Advani. But unlike Enthiran, we have to wait for the climax till 2014!

You are right but Imran Khan and Pakistan are an extreme analogy. Modi is 3 time chief minister, while Imran Khan is nobody. It was David vs Goliath, Imran Khan reached only to the twitter facebook audience, but Modi has reach amongst real masses. His popularity certainly isn't as great as twitteratis claim but is definitely real.
But well, am happy you finally decided to vote. It is shameful you did not bother to before this, sorry if that offends you
