A party championing the cause of oppressed Indians has wrested control of India's most populous state %26amp; its low-caste female leader is poised to become the state's chief minister for the fourth time.


Voting closed on Friday for the seven-round marathon election that took place over a month. At press time, former teacher Mayawati Kumari's Bahujan Samaj Party was leading in more than 204 seats in the 403-member Uttar Pradesh assembly. This would be the first time in 16years the state and its 180-million people would be ruled by single party and not a coalition, analysts said.


Analysts said Ms Mayawati's campaign did better than expected as it was aimed at the upper caste Brahmins as well as Muslim votes. "The woman who once asked her supporters to beat the upper castes with thier shoes ran an inclusive campaign this time, " said political analyst Rasheed Kidwai.

You might want to reflect on the fact that India which has always had a caste system now seems to be moving away from that at least in regards to its elected officials. The fact that a female who is of low caste won is encouraging. India has always been hard on its women and individuals who did not come from a high caste background. The candidate herself seems to have acknowledged "inclusiveness" in her campaign since she went after the upper caste and Muslim vote. Also, India now has a system more like the US...India will be ruled by a single party instead of a coalition. Perhaps Indian society is becoming more Western in its thinking.
